Mexican Revolution [      Pancho Villa

•	Who was he, and when/where was he born?

Doroteo Arango was Pancho Villa's real name, he was born in Mexico in the state of Durango in 1878. Pancho Villa was known to lots as a so called Robin Hood who stole money and gave to those who needed it the most.

•	What was his childhood background?

One day when he was sixteen, he returned home from the fields to find that his sister had been raped by the field owner. Doroteo pulled out his revolver, and shot him and escaped into the mountains on a horse. He became a cattle rustler and later joined a band of bandits that was led by a man named Francisco “Pancho” Villa. One day when the bandits were out doing what they normally do they got surprised by a group of police officers and Francisco was killed. Doroteo then took command of the gang and also assumed the name of the fallen leader. He probably changed his name so that the police could get off his trail on the murder of the field owner or maybe he did it just to become leader over the group. Anyway, from that point and on he was known as Francisco “Pancho” Villa.

Pancho Villa was a great leader in his team of bandits. After a while the U.S. had found out that all the events that had happened led up to Pancho Villa.
