Pancho Villa
Born Doroteo Arango, Francisco Villa, known as Pancho Villa, became one of the great revolutionary heroes of Mexico during the early 20th century. A rebel leader, Villa aided Francisco Indalécio Madero and then Venustiano Carranza to win control of the country, but each time he broke ranks with them. Villa ran raids against his enemies primarily from northern Mexico and entered the United States several times.
