PANCHO VILLA, MEXICAN REVOLUTIONARY

Pancho Villa, whose real name was Doroteo Arango, was born into a poor peasant family in northern Mexico in 1877. At the age of 16, after killing a local landowner, he left his family and ran away to the mountains, where he joined a band of outlaws. Within a few years, he was leading them in a series of ruthless attacks against the hated farm owners. But the peasants greatly admired him for his courage and his generosity toward them and he became a great hero, a 'Robin Hood' figure of his time.

In 1910 he joined the Mexican Revolution to fight for political reform and justice for the poor. With a series of brilliant victories, he and his horsemen helped defeat the dictator Porfiro Diaz and put Francisco Madero into power. In 1913, however, Madero was overthrown by Victoriano Huerta. Villa immediately took control of northern Mexico and Huerta was forced to resign.
Villa began to introduce a series of land (наделы земли) and educational reforms in the north to help the peasants, but he was unhappy with the new government and kept up his armed struggle. Aided by Emiliano Zapata, he invaded Mexico City in late 1914 but he was later defeated in battle and retreated north.

Over the next five years, he survived a US invasion of his territory and continued his fight against the government. Eventually, however, he made peace with the new president, who gave him some land in the north. He settled down and became a farmer, but three years later was assassinated by political enemies.
