Viva Villa
17 October 2011
The Viva Villa was so named in memory of Francisco 'Pancho' Villa (1878-1923), a poor peasant who, in 1910, joined the revolution against the dictator Porfirio Diaz in the north of Mexico.
The revolutionary was head of the northern division, an army of 50,000 men and controlled a large part of the country in 1914. Beaten in 1915, Pancho carried on guerilla activities until 1920 when he was murdered.
