In the Mexican Revolution you have the divide in America between mainstream and radical liberals (Woodrow Wilson and Eugene Debs) mirrored almost perfectly in Mexican factions (Carranza and Zapata). The only indigenous Mexican forces are, by definition, people like the Cristeros, who have no foreign base of support. Viva Cristo Rey!
Also, the period is a little different, but Walter Millis's The Martial Spirit is an excellent deconstruction of the Spanish-American War, which leaves both the imperialist and humanitarian strains in US interventionism (rather uniquely combined in that war) in hilarious tatters. It's 1931, but archive.org has it:
