Person
Pancho Villa
Pancho Villa was a Mexican revolutionary general from northern Mexico who led the Division of the North in the Mexican Revolution. He helped overthrow Victoriano Huerta in 1914, but after breaking with Venustiano Carranza he was defeated by Álvaro Obregón at Celaya in 1915. His raid on Columbus, New Mexico, in 1916 provoked the American Punitive Expedition, and he was assassinated in 1923.
