Английская Википедия:First Battle of Agua Prieta
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox military conflict Шаблон:Campaignbox Mexican Revolution Шаблон:Campaignbox Battles of the Mexican Revolution involving the United States The First Battle of Agua Prieta was fought between the supporters of Francisco Madero and federal troops of Porfirio Díaz in April 1911, at Agua Prieta, Sonora, in the initial phase of the Mexican Revolution.[1]
The battle was significant in that it was the first time railroads were used by the rebels to gain surprise and that US forces got involved in the fighting. After United States troops in Douglas, Arizona were attacked by the Federal Army, the Americans responded by intervening in the battle, which allowed the rebels to briefly take control of the town. The town was recaptured by federal troops two weeks later once additional reinforcements arrived.[2] This battle was a turning point in the Mexican revolution.
