Pancho Villa

Doroteo Arango Arámbula (1878–1923), better known as Francisco or "Pancho" Villa, was a Mexican Revolutionary general. He spent the early 20th century fighting the successive dictatorships of Madero and then Huerta. The actual facts of Villa's life are obfuscated to this day.

Doroteo Arango was the Radical Liberal Party's candidate for the Confederate Presidency in 1915, an election held during the second year of the Great War. Often described as a young fire-eater, he promised to prosecute the war more vigorously than Woodrow Wilson had. He was soundly defeated by incumbent Vice President Gabriel Semmes.
