Viva la Villa!
Have you ever wondered about the Mexican Revolution and the people that influenced it? Pancho Villa was a Mexican who aided in the Mexican Revolution and starred in a movie based on his own life. He grew up in San Juan Del Rio, Mexico and soon turned into a bandit after his father died when he was only fifteen years old and he murdered a man for sexually harassing his sister. He was inspired by Francisco Modero and grew into a revolutionary genius. He was seen as a great leader and a brilliant strategist, as he won many battles in his military career.

With this new source of money, Villa would become much more successful. Carranza, an ally of Villa, had began to use other various commanders instead of him. This upset Villa, but it also made him more aware of these rival commanders. It allowed him to better know what he was up against. Carranza forced Villa to flee to Mexico City. He stayed holed up there for quite a while as he tried building up his army and gaining allies.

He was very successful in gaining allies, though, as he had many before leaving Mexico City. Villa joined forces with many of the other revolutionary leaders and his greatest ally, the United States of America. Some of the many revolutionaries Villa encountered included Emiliano Zapata, former allies Francisco Madero and Venustiano Carranza, and many others. (Pancho Villa’s
