Pancho Villa
Pancho Villa was a prominent Mexican revolutionary general and folk hero known for his leadership of the División del Norte during the Mexican Revolution. Born in 1878, he became famous for his military prowess and his role in significant battles, including the capture of Zacatecas and the march on Mexico City. Villa's actions were not only pivotal in the fight against the oppressive regimes of his time but also made him a symbol of agrarian reform and social justice. He was ultimately pursued by U.S. forces under President Woodrow Wilson, who sent troops into Mexico in an attempt to capture him following his raid on Columbus, New Mexico in 1916. Villa's legacy remains controversial, as he is celebrated by some as a champion of the oppressed while viewed by others as a ruthless bandit.
