In 1914, while Mexico was in the grips of its Revolution, an incident occurred prompting the United States to interfere. The United States invaded and captured the port city of Veracruz on the Gulf coast. In the great scheme of things, that invasion had little effect. The United States held the city for seven months, but the revolution continued off and on for another fifteen years until it finally wound down due, for the most part, to simple war weariness.

But, what if it happened differently? What if, instead of the continued squabbles, the Mexicans decided they had enough of foreign powers meddling in their internal affairs? What if the Mexicans laid down their revolutionary arms and became a cohesive nation early, and what if they then started to build their military to prevent another invasion? Would Mexico become strong enough to hear the siren call on January 16, 1917 when Arthur Zimmerman, the Foreign Secretary of German Empire, asked Mexico to join the Central Powers? Had Mexico believed they were strong enough, then would they have joined the war?

Jorge Perez Castro was a young, poor farmer living in the countryside of Sonora when he was offered the chance to become one of the new professional Mexican soldiers--with good pay as well.

Jose Vasquez Vargas was a commander and the youngest skipper in the Mexican fleet, but his greatest challenge was just ahead: getting command of a new battleship.

Franklin Blackburn was a brash engineer from Georgia with a passion for flying. When the Great War breaks out in Europe, he arranges to join the new French Air Corps in defense against the Germans.

Life changes for them all when in 1917, after the United States declares war on Germany, Mexico counters by declaring war on America.
