Biography on Pancho Villa
Pancho Villa, was a Mexican Revoulutionary general As commander of the DivisiĆ³n del Norte Division of the North, he was the veritable caudillo of the Northern Mexican state of Chihuahua.Villa and his supporters, known as Villistas, employed tactics such as propaganda and firing squads against his enemies.He robbed and commandeered trains , and, like the other Revolutionary generals, printed money supplys to pay for his cause.He was born June 5 1878– July 23 1923.
Pancho Villa was a Mexican revolutionary leader who advocated for the poor and wanted agrarian reform. Though he was a killer, a bandit, and a revolutionary leader, many remember him as a folk hero. Pancho Villa was also responsible for a raid on Columbus, New Mexico in 1916, which was the first attack on U.S. soil since 1812.Pancho Villa was born Doroteo Arango, the son of a sharecropper at the hacienda in San Juan del Rio, Durango. While growing up, Pancho Villa witnessed and experienced the harshness of peasant life. In Mexico during the late 19th century, the rich were becoming richer by taking advantage of the lower classes, often treating them like slaves. When Villa was 15, his father died, so Villa began to work as a sharecropper to help support his mother and four siblings.One day in 1894, Villa came home from the fields to find that the owner of the hacienda intended to have sex with Villa's 12-year old sister. Villa, only 16-years old, grabbed a pistol, shot the owner of the hacienda.
he had joined some other bandits and soon became their leader. Villa and his group of bandits would steal cattle, rob shipments of money, and commit additional crimes against the wealthy. By stealing from the rich and often giving to the poor, some saw Pancho Villa as a modern-day Robin Hood.It was during this time that Doroteo Arango began using the name Francisco Pancho Villa.
Pancho Villa was extremely successful, winning battle after battle during the next several years. Since Pancho Villa conquered Chihuahua and other northern areas, he spent much of his time reallocating land and stabilizing the economy.
Three years later, he was assassinated on June 20, 1923.
