The Mexican Revolution of 1910: Pancho Villa, Guerrilla Trains, and the Winchester Rifles That Ch... video from Battle Hist TH.
Summary:
It revisits the Mexican Revolution of 1910, a class struggle that reshaped South America. The inequality under the Porfirio Díaz dictatorship erupted into a bloody civil war, with Pancho Villa, a guerrilla leader from the north, rising to become a legendary figure leading the peasant and commoner uprising.
Pancho Villa devised a new revolutionary strategy by seizing and transforming trains into mobile fortifications, transporting troops, vehicles, and field hospitals. Combined with his use of the Winchester 1894 lever-action rifle, he swiftly and decisively overwhelmed government forces, transforming Mexico into a fiery battlefield that resonated to superpowers like the United States.
