Pancho Villa was killed in an ambush in Mexico
19 July 1923,
Pancho Villa was killed in an ambush in Mexico. During the family trip, they fired their car with 150 bullets. His name, Doroteo Arango, a former youth crossdresser, was, along with Emiliano Zapata, the principal leader of the Mexican Revolution. He received numerous cities, stole trains to move his army, issued false reports to confuse his enemy through telegraphers, and was an excellent strategist, as demonstrated in Chiuau or Ciudad Juárez. During the period when he was governor of Chihuahua, he took numerous measures in favor of the plain people and, among other things, in addition to prohibiting Pernada law, the right of lords to rape women on the day of a couple's wedding, he punished a number of rich men who practiced this fact.
