The Mexico front, oftentimes referred to as the Second Mexican-American War or the Mexican Campaign, was a theater of the Great War fought between the United States and Mexico from mid 1915 to 1916. The front saw fighting all across northern Mexico, the borders areas of the United States, as well fighting between the British and Mexicans in Belize and the Yucatán. It was the only major area of conflict in the Americans and the Western Hemisphere during the Great War.

Following the publishing of the von Jagow Telegram and the Battle of Ambos Nogales, the United States Congress declared war on Mexico on September 23rd, 1915. Mexico declared war the next day and, because of secret promises made by the Central Powers, Germany declared war two days later, bringing the United States fully into the Great War. Although the United States had hoped to quickly crush Mexico, a lack of preparedness in the U.S. army as well civilian resistance by the Mexicans led to the United States postponing their planned main offensive, instead opting to seize strategic border towns and cities and build up defenses during the initial months. Mexican troops also invaded British Belize in October, fully conquering it two days later.

Mexican troops in Tijuana, against orders of the Mexican government, successfully took San Diego and later marched north attempting to take Los Angeles. During the Battle of Los Angeles, Mexican forces were routed and forced to retreat past the border, marking the farthest Mexican forces would advance into the United States during the war. Mexican forces also launched invasions in southern Texas and Arizona, but were quickly pushed back. In February, the United States launched it's planned main offensive, quickly advancing through northern Mexico. In April, a mainly Caribbean British contingent landed in the Yucatan in an attempt to liberate British Honduras, which they accomplished by May.

In June, with American troops closing in on Mexico city, Mexican President Francisco I. Madero fled to Chile, and provisional president Venustiano Carranza requested a ceasefire from both the Americans and the British. The ceasefire came into effect on July 7th, with American troops entering Mexico city on July 15th.

The war is considered one of the most significant in both Mexican and American history, with casualties far higher than the First Mexican-American War. The resulting American occupation of Northern Mexico, as well as the Mexican Oil Crisis, would dramatically change the course of the war and the 20th century.
