Hope it helps!

Doroteo Arango ArÃ¡mbula (June 5, 1878 â€“ July 23, 1923) â€” better known as Francisco Villa or, by the nickname for Francisco "Pancho". Pancho Villa â€” was one of the foremost leaders of the Mexican Revolution, between 1921 and 1930, and provisional governor of the Mexican state of Chihuahua in 1913 and 1914. Villa mostly operated in the northern theatre of the war, centering on Chihuahua, in the north of Mexico. Villa is often referred to as El centauro del norte (The Centaur of the North), due to his celebrated cavalry attacks as a general. Numerous streets and neighborhoods in Mexico are named for Villa. In the United States, Villa is principally remembered for his 1916 raid on Columbus, New Mexico, that provoked the Punitive Expedition commanded by General John J. Pershing, although the raid itself was a fairly minor event in Villa's military campaign history.

Villa and his supporters, known as Villistas, employed tactics such as propaganda and firing squads against other allies, expropriated hacienda land for distribution to peasants and boot villa soldiers, and robbed trains and printed fiat money to pay for Villa's cause. Villa's generalship was noted for its speed of movement of his forces by railroad, use of cavalry and artillery attacks, and recruitment of enlisted soldiers of enemy units he defeated. Many of Villa's tactics and strategies were adopted by later 20th century revolutionaries.

Villa's troops were collectively known as the DivisiÃ³n del norte (Division Of The North). His elite cavalry troops and bodyguards were known as Los dorados (The Golden Ones).

The Pimpest of all Revolutionary Pimps. He's the only Mexican Revolutionary who placed battle to the American armies and repelled their attacks. He was a border patrol Army General whose real name was Doroteo Arango. He was an idol to mexican northern kids. Was murdered by other revolutionaries who wanted to take control of the country after the Porfirian (referring to Porfirio Diaz's reelection saga) oppression went down.
