Mexican Revolution

Yes Pancho Villa passed through Coyame Chihuahua (where both my parents were born.) My grandfather Don Salvador Navarrete told me when he was child Pancho Villa stopped in Coyame with a platoon of his rebel fighters. When the towns people saw Villa and his men riding into town, they were scared shittless and ran and hid intheir homes. (Coyame was and still is the county seat called "municipal" and on the side of the government) by the time Villa rode in, Coyame was a ghost town, except for some children playing outside one of wich was my grandfather. My grandpa told me that Villa asked him "Where are the men in this town?" my grandfather replied "my uncle Pilar is in the house" and Villa said "well then go call that cabron!" My grandpa says his uncle Pilar came out of the house fearing for his life. I dont know how long Villa stayed in Coyame or how often he made stop's in Coyame but all the old timers and many people in town have their Pancho Villa story's. So yes to answer your question Pancho Villa did set foot in the beautiful little town of Coyame many years ago. Thought I would share that story with you.

Hi, to every one from coyame, Angie Ramirez De Madrid

He decided to have life as a bandit because when he was 16 years old someone raped his sister and he killed him and he had to change his name from Pancho to Francisco Villa. It forced him to move away from the country for more than 4 years.

The Villistas needed supplies and the US Government had given official recognition to the Carranza Government and had begun an embargo of supplies to Villa. He stole 100 horses and mules from the US Army. Villa paid a man from Columbus for the arms. When he sent to collect the deal, not only the man refused to acknowledge the deal and provide the guns, but he threatened the Villa emissary with his life. When Villa was delivered the news, he got his man and went to collect. The rest is history...

True. Though his army killed many, they didn't capture Pancho villa.

starting the Mexican revolution

Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a leader in the Mexican Revolution and the founder of Zapatismo, the agrarian movement. He married Josefa Espejo when he was 31.

Emiliano Zapata, was born in what we now know as the Sate of Morelos, which is soutwest of Mexico City, IN 1880, in a small town near Cuautla, and he died in Chinameca, ain 1918, he never agreed with nobody, he was fighting a war that nobody understood, since his demands were included in the Mexican Constitution, and the lands that he claimed had been taken from the Catholic Church.

The were several causes for the Mexican revolution. The people were tired of the dictatorial rule of Diaz, the exploitation and poor treatment of workers, and the great disparity between the rich and the poor.

The rebels believed the new American-backed government had betrayed the revolution's promise to help the common people

Diaz was a dictator that had already lasted for more than 30 years by 1910. Zapata and Villa were some of the warlords that engaged in a civil war against Diaz's regime during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921).

It was when he was 16. The guy who he killed was the owner of hacienda. The owner tried to have intercourse with his little 12 year old sister.

he might of wanted to change the violonece by doing more violence

Francisco Maders, a wealthy rancher, called for a revolution to defeat Diaz. Leaders arose in different parts of Mexico and gathered their own armies.

Francisco I. Madero was born on October 30, 1873.

And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself was created on 2003-09-07.

No. Porfirio Diaz is such dictator. Francisco Madero is the person who initiated such revolution.

As I understand it from a recent trip to Ciudad Chihuahua and the Pancho Villa Museum, Doroteo Arango Arambula (whom we now call Pancho Villa) was, among other things, a simple thief in his youth. The gang that he took up was led by a man called Pancho Villa; and later when that man died, Arambula took his name as his own, keeping it until the day he was assassinated.

No. He was a mestizo.

The consequences of US entanglement with Mexico in during the Mexican Revolution was the loss of U.S. industry, political angst against Americans, and the first discussion on democracy or stability. US industry's were heavily invested in Mexican resources such as silver, coal, and especially petroleum. These industries were hurt hard as the mines and oil fields were confiscated by Revolutionary leaders in order to help fund the war effort. These US businessmen fought hard in congress to support the status quo of Mexico in order to recapture their capital. Furthermore, the United States was hard pressed to intervene as the Mexican leaders seemed to turn on each other as soon as won made it to office. This led to Wilson support of Huerta who was becoming a new Diaz in his own right. Mexican politics now always look for ways to not include the United States because they wish to be self reliant and not have anymore help from foreigners. While in the United States the effects of the Revolution have completely dissipated to the point that many Americans didn't even realize that Mexico had Revolution that involved heavy U.S. participation.

The wild west started in the late 1850's and continued up until the end of the Mexican revolution in 1920, the militery who were sent out into the west to stop the Mexicans from revolting also arrested, hung, and shot the outlaws and then brought law to the towns in the west.

Preparing for WWI.

Mexican Revolution: 1910-1921

WWI: 1914-1918

Huerta? Yes, he plotted and ultimately succeeded in killing the Mexican president Francisco I. Madero and his vicepresident, Jose Maria Pino Suarez in 1913, thus sparking the Mexican Revolution.
