Francisco “Pancho” Villa (1878–1923), born José Doroteo Arango Arámbula, was a pivotal figure in the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920). Emerging from a humble background in Durango, Villa became a bandit before joining Francisco Madero’s uprising against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz.
He quickly gained prominence for his leadership and tactical prowess, particularly with his División del Norte. Villa’s forces won significant battles, including the capture of Ciudad Juárez, which propelled Madero to the presidency. Despite his initial alliance with revolutionary leaders, Villa’s relations soured, leading to conflict with Venustiano Carranza’s government.
In 1916, his raid on Columbus, New Mexico, prompted a punitive expedition by the U.S. military. After years of guerrilla warfare, Villa retired in 1920 under amnesty but was assassinated in 1923. Villa remains a controversial yet enduring symbol of resistance and social justice in Mexican history.
