Pancho Villa was Mexican.
A Prominent Mexican Revolutionary
Francisco "Pancho" Villa, whose birth name was Doroteo Arango Arámbula, was an iconic figure in Mexican history. He was a leading general in the Mexican Revolution, a pivotal conflict that reshaped the nation in the early 20th century.
His identity as a Mexican was central to his legacy as he led his formidable División del Norte (Division of the North) to fight against various oppressive regimes. Initially, he rallied against Porfirio Díaz's long-standing dictatorship. Later, he took a firm stance against Victoriano Huerta's usurpation of power following La Decena Trágica (The Ten Tragic Days), a coup that overthrew and led to the assassination of President Francisco I. Madero.
His actions and leadership cemented his place as a national hero and a symbol of revolutionary ideals for many Mexicans.
