Pancho+Villa

Pancho Villa was born on June 5th 1878 in la coyotada, Mexico (Sherman) but he died on July 20th 1923 (Sherman). For some one that lived only 45 years Villa accomplished a lot in his lifetime. He was top military leader of the Mexican revolution (Ells). He was also able to become the leader of the banditos (Sherman). On May 29, 1911, Villa married María Luz Corral, (Taylor). Villa and his wife had only one child (Ells). Most people thought that his name was Pancho Villa but that was really his nickname (Mueller). His full name was Jose Doroteo Arango Arambula (Ells). There was lot of things that people did not know about him. Like that he was like a Robin Hood character to the people of Mexico (Mueller). Many people thought that he was very tall and skinny. Villa was 5 feet 10 and very large (Sherman). Another thing people thought Villa did was become general of Mexico right away but he did not. He was a small time bandit and a solder for the Mexican army (Ells). He was responsible for many attacks around all of Mexico. He was responsible for a raid on Columbus New Mexico (Mueller). He was a ruthless killer and showed no mercy to anyone (Sherman). He tortured many of his prisoners when he captured them (Taylor). He killed a lot of men but never any women or children (Taylor). His men were not allowed to kill women or children either if they did he would execute them (Taylor). The reason he never killed women and children because he had another son who passed away in the womb(Taylor) Many people saw Pancho Villa as a bad man, and criminal. Pancho Villa wasn’t all that bad in fact he helped many poor people in Mexico (Sherman). All the poor peasants really loved Pancho Villa for what he did for all of them. Most people called him like the Robin Hood of Mexico (Ells). As he helped many poor Mexicans, many of them helped Pancho Villa get away with a lot of stuff. Pancho Villa helped citizens and many cops so they let him get away with a lot of stuff (Sherman). What a lot of people don’t know about Villa is about his appearance. Villa was a very strong man and huge man (Mueller). One thing that I noticed about Villa is that he had such a great mustache. Many people said that Villa had a big stomach and he had a huge appetite (Taylor). One thing that people don’t know about Villa is that he didn’t really have a lot of personal things. Villa was a rather dark man; many people thought he was African-American and not Mexican (Ells). If their one thing that many people know about Villa is that he knew war. Pancho Villa military smart in every way known (Taylor). He was the one who helped Mexico through out the whole war. The Mexican army trusted him because Villa was very trustworthy man (Sherman). Everyone knew that Villa was a dirty, nasty man, and that he didn’t care about how he looked or anything. Villa was ruthless he did not show mercy to anyone at all (Mueller). Before he joined the military he was already trained, so once he was in the military he knew what he was doing already. One thing Villa also loved to do was spend time in his hometown of Chihuahua; he loved being there (Sherman). Everybody has a lot of obstacles in some point in their life. Pancho Villa was no different from anyone else. Villa had it bad; many people were trying to kill him (Sherman). Growing up in Mexico I would imagine Villa have a lot of obstacles to face. One thing that Villa had to face was that he was wanted everywhere he went (Taylor). He couldn’t go out with his family because he was wanted everywhere he went. The highest general in Mexico all of Mexico hated Villa. In 1914 Villa had a rivalry with Carranza (Muller). This rivalry was extended way to far, and it scared the people of Mexico. Carranza exclude Villa from his plans for Mexico numerous times (Sherman). Villa had to over come this rivalry to become a great general. Villa killed Carranza and that brought an end to this rivalry. Pancho Villa had many problems through out his whole life. He had problems not only in Mexico but also in the United States. The U.S government wanted Villa dead (Muller). Another problem that he had was that his men always died in cross fire. The Mexican army started a revolution on Pancho Villa and his banditos (Sherman). He always gad to evade capture from a lot of people (Taylor). He struggled to gain control of Mexico for many years. Many people saw him as a bad person; so it took him time to over come that obstacle in his life (Ells).
