Explanation

Pancho Villa’s 1916 raid on Columbus, New Mexico, killed Americans and caused widespread outrage in the United States. US newspapers demanded a strong military response, and the US sent an expedition into Mexico to pursue Villa. Mexico did not declare war on the United States, so the correct choice is “US newspapers demanded a strong military response.”
