Title: " Pancho Villa (1878-1923) "
Pancho Villa is a paradoxical figure in history. Considered to be a murderous bandit by some and a heroic revolutionary by others, Villa was committed to improving life for the poor and redistributing wealth in Mexico. When the Mexican Revolution broke out in 1910, Villa created a powerful rebel army, and his success in northern Mexico made him an international celebrity, though he and his followers were highly criticized for their brutality. He is remembered as both a force of destruction and an agent of reform who fought oppression and brought justice to the people.
