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.

What cities were involved in the Mexican revolution?
It was a revolution, meaning most cities were involved during the war either directly or indirectly. Even smaller towns and villages, as many revolutionaries joined the revolution or were drafted by the Mexican government.
There were however, several cities where major battles were fought; some of them are detailed here:
- 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 Torreon (September 29 - October 1, 1913) Three days of bitter fighting between Pancho Villa with 8,000 men, against 3,000 well trained and well equipped federal soldiers led by General Jose Refugio Velasco. After taking the city, Villa's forces acquired heavy weaponry, took important communication ways towards the north and gained access to the center of the country.
- Battle of Veracruz (April 21, 1914) American President Woodrow Wilson ordered an armed invasion of Veracruz, when 2,300 American marines assaulted and took the aforementioned port city, occupying it for six months. Both Victoriano Huerta and Venustiano Carranza (opposing rivals during the Mexican Revolution) officially objected to the occupation, but neither was able to oppose it effectively, as both were fighting against each other. The occupation brought the two countries to the brink of war, and damaged the US-Mexican relations for decades to come.
- Battle of Zacatecas (June 23, 1914) The bloodiest battle in the campaign to overthrow Victoriano Huerta. On June 23, 1914, Pancho Villa's Division del Norte (Division of the North) decisively defeated the troops of General Luis Medina Barron defending the town of Zacatecas. Barron lost 6,000-7,000 men out of a force of 12,000; this battle demoralized Huerta's supporters, leading to his resignation on July 15 of the same year.
- 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.

Did the United States attack Pancho Villa after his attack on Columbus New Mexico?
where did pancho villa live Yes. General John "Black Jack" Pershing, a hero of the Spanish-American War, led a US expeditionary force into Mexico to destroy Pancho Villa. There was fighting, and a young lieutenant named George Patton made a name for himself by killing an enemy general, but the US Army was slowed by the difficult terrain. Pershing had trucks, but there were few roads, and most of his supplies moved by mule train. Pancho Villa had little worry that Pershing would catch him. With World War 1 coming, the expedition was recalled, and Pershing later became General of the Armies, the only general in the history of the US Army to attain this rank. Pancho Villa later retired from his revolutionary endeavors, and he was assassinated by fellow Mexicans.
