Both existed for about 10 years, both had changes of government and both were violent and often bloody.
Because he attacked the town of Columbus, New Mexico in search of supplies and weapons. He was routed by the US Army, but the battle resulted in 18 dead, including 10 civilians. Just like an ancient Osama Bin Laden, he was wanted dead or alive.

The Mexican Revolution started on October 5, 1910. At first, it was a conflict to oust Dictator Porfirio Diaz from power. Then, after General Victoriano Huerta assassinated president Francisco Madero and took over the presidency in 1913, it became a civil war between several warlords and Huerta's government.

Interesting question I've been trying to answer too. Apparently there is an 1872 Remington Revolver with his real name inscribed, Colt Single Action Army's, a Merwin Hulbert Frontier Army Revolver, photos of him with what appears to be Mauser bolt action and Winchester 94 rifles, massive bandoliers that appear to have 7mm Mauser rounds, and many claiming to have been owned or used by him. Logically over such a long, heavily armed career during which there was a lot of firearms innovation from lever action/revolvers to bolt actions and semi-automatics with both German and U.S. current military technology arms flowing steadily into Mexico, Villa probably tried most and retained what he preferred. It's likely he gave away many to his subordinates, friends, and people he wanted to influence so the total could well be in the hundreds over a long, violent life.
It's interesting to see a leader of large groups of troops to continually be photographed with a rifle and heavy bandoliers (they're really annoying in heat, weight, noise, movement) like an infantryman rather than just with a handgun and cartridge belt like most officers bothered with. Does he actually use a rifle during their battles, expect to duel with assassins at any moment, or just like to pose like one of the guys to inspire his troops when photographers are around?
