Answer:

Spanish naval Lieutenant Salvador Fidalgo, in the Princesa, left San Blas on March 23, 1792, and headed directly to the port of Núñez Gaona (Neah Bay), in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It was uncertain at this time whether the Spanish post at Nootka Sound and all lands north of the strait would be ceded to the British or not. Fidalgo’s work at Neah Bay would be in preparation for a possible relocation of Spain’s Nootka Sound post, with Viceroy Juan Vicente de Guemes Pacheco de Padilla Horcasitas y Aguayo or Revillagigedo and Juan Francisco Bodega y Quadra knowing the Spaniards could hold the country south of the strait only by actual and immediate occupation.

Fidalgo, born August 6, 1756 in Catalonia, Spain, joined the Spanish Navy as a midshipman at the naval academy in Cadiz. He graduated in 1775, and given the rank of Frigate Ensign. He was a member of a team of cartographers working during the 1780s on the first atlas of Spain’s ports and coastal waters and served on various assignments in the Mediterranean, seeing action against the British and Portuguese. In 1778, he was promoted to Lieutenant and assigned to the Spanish naval station at San Blas. The Princesa (also called La Princesa and Nuestra Señora del Rosario) was a 189-ton frigate built at San Blas and launched in 1778. She was a three-masted, two-deck warship, carrying 26 cannons. She was designed with storage enough to sail for a year without having to restock and built for durability rather than speed. Accompanying Fidalgo were 89 men, including his second in command, first pilot Antonio Serantes, pilot Hipolito Tono, Surgeon Juan de Dios Morelos, Father José Alejandro López de Nava, a small company of Mexican, Peruvian, and Spanish male colonists, and, thirteen soldiers, members of the First Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia.

How successful was the youth involvement in Vietnam ?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Well this was i guess you could say part of the US involvement in the cold war. They supported south Vietnam because they didn't want communism from china and Russia spreading their. So when the two together planned an invasion of south Vietnam they announced their involvement to help try and stop it. Also they got involved because they threatened that since they were an ally of ours any attempt to gain land would be met with hostile reinforcement of the area. They were losing heavy casualties and american involvement in the war was not widely supported by the public. Fighting in Vietnam was life and death. Many attacks were deadly as heavy losses on both sides tolled up. We withdrew because most of american citizens hated the war and didn't support it. So the president facing battles on the home front and facing battles in Vietnam decided to withdraw to appease the public. The effects of the withdrawal were that many young soldiers got to see their families again. Many families also were happy as with less money being funneled into the war many new buildings and public services were built. A bad part of the war was after the US left the south was invaded and they ended up with a communist government. Another effect was that the Us pride was hurt and some countries viewed us as weak.
