Today in Labor History August 27, 1918: The U.S. Army, including Buffalo Soldiers, fought Mexican Carrancistas in the Battle of Ambos Nogales, the only battle of World War I that was fought on American soil. It is alleged that German forces were supporting the Mexican Revolutionaries and that two German soldiers died in the battle. However, the battle was precipitated by cross border firing into the U.S. during a sectarian fight between in the armies of Venustiano Carranza and Pancho Villa, who were struggling for control of Nogales Sonora (Mexican Nogales), as well as by racist, anti-Mexican hysteria in the U.S. that was being whipped up by the media. In the aftermath, the U.S. constructed the first permanent wall on its southern border, and began building walls at many other border crossings, as well.
