Mexico: Pancho Villa - born Doroteo Arango Arambula in 1878 - became an outlaw as a teenager, fleeing to the mountains after killing a hacienda owner who he said had raped his sister.
After joining up with Emiliano Zapata and others, he became the charismatic leader of a revolt against dictatorial Mexican President Porfirio DÃaz and a government that made life easy for foreign land barons and workers, while native Mexicans suffered in poverty.
President DÃaz finally resigned and went into exile in 1885, with the revolution in its full glory, but the battles raged on until Villa and Zapata declared peace in 1918. Five years later, Villa was assassinated on orders from one of his longtime adversaries, Ãlvaro Obregón, a general in the Mexican army who suspected he was organizing another army. - Source:
