Pancho Villa  

Definition

  • Together with Emiliano Zapata, José Doroteo Arango Arámbula, better known by his nickname Pancho Villa, was one of the foremost rebel leaders of the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920). Villa is widely regarded as an outlaw, but his willingness to help the poor and oppressed has also made him a popular hero in the cultural history of modern Mexico.
