PANCHO VILLA: HERO OR VILLAIN?

Born in the late 1800s in Durango, Mexico, Pancho Villa became a folk hero after he joined the Mexican revolution in 1910 and organized an army against the oppressive government. He became something of a Robin Hood, fighting for the cause of the poor and the oppressed. However, to achieve his goals he robbed banks, stole cattle and land, and ordered the murders of many people. Although a popular figure in the US, in 1916, he raided Columbus, New Mexico, because he opposed yanqui aggression. It is said that he married 26 times. Although the Mexican government eventually pensioned and retired him, in 1923 he was assassinated by his enemies.
