Jose Doroteo Arango Arambula
(5 June 1878 ? 20 July 1923), better known by his nickname
Pancho Villa
, was a
Mexican
revolutionary
leader who advocated for the poor and wanted agrarian
reform
. Though he was a killer, a bandit, and a revolutionary leader, many remember him as a folk hero. Pancho Villa was also responsible for a raid on
Columbus, New Mexico
in 1916, which was the first attack on
U.S.
soil since 1812. "Pancho" was a revolutionary advocate for the less fortunate.
Villa died in a car crash coming back from a political meeting. He was 45 years old. It is said that his political rival was in charge of crashing the car. He was in a Ford Model 1 when he died. It was dark and he only had 3 bodyguards in the moment. (That did not actually happen he did not die in a car crash)
