Via's Strategy Changed: The United States Recognized Caranza

After via's army endured its now depressingly routine massacre, via ordered a retreat. He did not know that the united states had granted a request to ferry reinforcements from far off cuahila to agua priata on American trains. Via was floored when he got this news and completely flipped his strategy. Where once he had gone out of his way to protect americans and curry favor with the wilson administration, he would now attack them wherever and whenever he could. This new orientation was made plain in via's own manifesto to the nation, which he published on november ninth, 19 15.
