The United States-Mexican border war of 1910-1920 doesn't get as much attention in our circles as it should. Coinciding with the Mexican Revolution, it was a period of cross-border raids, armed expeditions, and overall banditry & lawlessness. Not much different from today, really, other than the US government pretending such problems don't exist.
While actions such as the Battle of Vera Cruz or the American Punitive expedition are better known, the Plan de San Diego is pretty interesting as it was an failed operation to kill all White men (German-Americans and White women were to be spared, as the German Empire had been supporting Mexico & I'll give you two guesses why they didn't want to kill the women) in the southwest in an attempt to take back those territories. It collapsed shortly after its discovery, but you'd be high on batshit if you don't think that those sentiments still don't exist.
