Born as Dorote Arango Arámbula but best know as Pancho Villa was a Mexican Revolutionary General. To the poor peasant Mexicans he is known as a hero, but the Americans on the other hand see him as a bandit. Mexicans saw Pancho Villa as a hero because he was like a modern-day Robin Hood. He would steal cattle, rob shipments of money, commit crimes against the wealthy. Everything he stole he would give to the poor peasants. All of this started when he was 16-years old working at a hacienda, he saw the owner of the hacienda rape his younger sister. When he saw this he shot the man and ran away and became a bandit. Living as bandit Villa joined with Franciso Madero revolutionary forces. They together formed the Dicision del Norte. The skills that Villa had as a fighter and the skills of a leader he was made a general. When Venustiano Carranza was running for presidency, Pancho Villa he wasn't very happy. The US government supported Carranza and his presidency so Villa retaliated by raiding the US border towns. The US goverment for years tried to find him to but couldn't. He lived in Parral,Chihuahlua until he was assassinated in July 20, 1923.**
