Mexican Revolution
The Mexican Revolution, also known as the Mexican Civil War, started in November 1910 and lasted until 1929. It was fueled by the public's desire for economic and social reforms, and targeted the corrupt Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz, the wealthy, the Catholic Church and foreign capitalists. It is not to be confused with the Mexican War for Independence (from Spain) which happened 100 years earlier.

Is Pancho Villa an American hero?
Answer 1: Pancho Villa was a Mexican Revolutionary General and hero to his people. Since his raid on Columbus in 1916, Villa was neither friend nor hero to the US.
Answer 2:
Yes.
Pancho Villa is known world wide, and treated like a hero everywhere. He is most commonly known in the United States as a hero by United States Citizens (Americans).
It might be really awkward that Pancho Villa murdered Americans, and still, Americans now days love him and treat him like a hero.
The reason for that is that Pancho Villa was like a Mexican Robinhood. he stole from the middle class, and the rich and gave it to the poor. He also rebelled against evil people in Mexico and always protected Mexico from American attacks.
How did pancho villa become a leader?
He was a known warlord and bandit, whose base of operations was the northern state of Chihuahua. During the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921) he became commander of the Northern Division (Spanish: Division del Norte), fighting against the federal government troops, and then both Venustiano Carranza (1859-1920) and Alvaro Obregon (1880-1928), also warlords during the conflict who eventually became presidents of Mexico. He was assassinated on July 20, 1923 by direct orders from President Alvaro Obregon.
His most notable actions include the following three battles:
Battle of Ciudad Juarez (April 7 - May 10, 1911) Battle held between federal forces loyal to Porfirio Diaz and rebel forces of Francisco Madero. Pascual Orozco and Pancho Villa commanded Madero's army which besieged Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. The fall of Juarez to Madero convinced President Porfirio Diaz to resign and exile into France, thus ending the initial stage of the Mexican Revolution.
Battle of Celaya (April 13, 1915) Four battles, collectively known as the Battle of Celaya, the largest military confrontation in Latin American history before the Falklands War of 1982. Forces under Pancho Villa were badly defeated by forces under the command of Alvaro Obregon, who supported the presidency of Venustiano Carranza. Villa lost around 4,000 men killed in frontal attacks. Villa was never able to recover his losses, and lost most of his political and social influence.
Battle of Columbus (March 9, 1916) began as a raid conducted by Pancho Villa's forces on the US town of Columbus, NM. The raid escalated into a full-scale battle against the US Army, resulting in a total disaster for Villa, with 73 killed Villistas vs. 18 Americans, including 10 civilians. The attack prompted President Woodrow Wilson to order the Villa Punitive Expedition (1916-1917), a failed attempt at killing Villa.

What was the result of the Mexican revolution?
The Mexican Revolution was a major armed conflict that erupted in 1910 between rebel forces led by Francisco Madero against forces loyal to President Porfirio DÃaz.
DÃaz was eventually overthrown in 1911, but the conflict continued to rage on due to new counter-revolutionary leaders taking charge of federal troops. The fighting eventually subsided in 1920.
An important result of the Mexican Revolution was the enactment and adoption of the Mexican Constitution of 1917.
What leader's reform enabled the Mexican Cultural Revolution?
General Alvaro Obregon was responsible for the reforms that enabled the Mexican Cultural Revolution.
What the definition of carrancistas?
The carrancistas were followers of Venustiano Carranza during the Mexican Revolution.
What were the effects of the Mexican Revolution of 1910?
For most of Mexico's developing history, a small minority of the people were in control of most of the country's power and wealth, while the majority of the population worked in poverty. As the rift between the poor and rich grew under the leadership of General DÃaz, the political voice of the lower classes was also declining. Opposition of DÃaz did surface, when Francisco I. Madero, educated in Europe and at the University of California, led a series of strikes throughout the country.
DÃaz was pressured into holding an election in 1910, in which Madero was able to gather a significant number of the votes. Although DÃaz was at one time a strong supporter of the one-term limit, he seemed to have changed his mind and had Madero imprisoned, feeling that the people of Mexico just weren't ready for democracy.
Once Madero was released from prison, he continued his battle against DÃaz in an attempt to have him overthrown. During this time, several other Mexican folk heros began to emerge, including the well known Pancho Villa in the north, and the peasant Emiliano Zapata in the south, who were able to harass the Mexican army and wrest control of their respective regions. DÃaz was unable to control the spread of the insurgence and resigned in May, 1911, with the signing of the Treaty of Ciudad Juárez, after which he fled to France.
Madero was elected president, but received opposition from Emiliano Zapata who didn't wish to wait for the orderly implementation of Madero's desired land reforms. In November of the same year Zapata denounced Madero as president and took the position for himself. He controlled the state of Morelos, where he chased out the estate owners and divided their lands to the peasants. Later, in 1919, Zapata was assassinated by Jesus Guajardo acting under orders from General Pablo Gonzalez.
It was during this time that the country broke into many different factions, and guerrilla units roamed across the country destroying and burning down many large haciendas and ranchos. Madero was later taken prisoner and executed and the entire country existed in a state of disorder for several years, while Pancho Villa rampaged through the north, and different factions fought for presidential control.
Eventually, Venustiano Carranza rose to the presidency, and organized an important convention whose outcome was the Constitution of 1917, which is still in effect today. Carranza made land reform an important part of that constitution. This resulted in the ejido, or farm cooperative program that redistributed much of the country's land from the wealthy land holders to the peasants. The ejidos are still in place today and comprise nearly half of all the farmland in Mexico.
Carranza was followed by others who would fight for political control, and who would eventually continue with the reforms, both in education and land distribution. During this period the PRI political party was established, which was the dominant political power for 71 years until Vicente Fox of the conservative PAN party was elected. The holiday itself commemorates the day, November 20th of 1910, when Madero denounced President DÃaz, declared himself president of Mexico and called for a national insurrection.

Why did the US intervene in the Mexican Revolution?
As the Russian Revolution raged throughout Russian territory, the United States (along with many other Western nations) became involved for one fundamental reason: concern over the consequences of a 'Bolshevik' take-over of Russia. Western nations were generally suspicious (and even fearful) of the establishment of Communism in any political manner, hence they contributed military and other support in the hope that the 'Reds' would not succeed.
What were the goals of the Mexican Revolution?
Economic development at the expense of human rights. For example, workers in "haciendas" throughout the country were treated little better than slaves, and murders of workers by their "masters" was not uncommon. Also debt was inherited, therefore ensuring that workers and their families would be kept in perpetual debt captivity.
Difference between the Russian revolution and Mexican Revolution?
The Russian Revolution was mainly nationwide violence and rebellion against the government but there was also lots of indirect violence, whereas the Mexican Revolution was more of a cultural reformation and rebellion of a single dictator.

One side was a cold murder, and another side was a caring leader of Mexico.

He was a cold killer because he crossed to the United States and murdered American citizens.
