Answer:
The Second Crusade, besides Edessa, had additional objectives in Iberia and the Baltic, and both campaigns were backed by the Pope. The crusaders who were to sail to the east were perhaps used in Iberia because they had to delay their departure in order for the land armies to make their slow progress to the Levant. The sea route was much quicker and so it was advantageous to put them to good use in the meantime. A fleet of some 160-200 Genoese ships packed with crusaders sailed for Lisbon to assist King Alfonso Henriques of Portugal (r. 1139-1185 CE) capture that city from the Muslims. On arrival, a textbook siege began on 28 June 1147 CE and was ultimately successful, the city falling on 24 October 1147 CE. Some crusaders successfully continued the war against the Muslims in Iberia, the reconquista, as it was known, notably capturing Almeria in northern Spain (17 October 1147 CE) guided by King Alfonso VII of León and Castille (r. 1126-1157 CE) and Tortosa in eastern Spain (30 December 1148 CE). An attack on Jaén in southern Spain, though, was a failure.

Answer:
In April 1954 diplomats from several nations – including the United States, the Soviet Union, China, France and Great Britain – attended a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. The Geneva gathering was made to belive to discuss two Cold War hotspots, Berlin and Korea – but by the time it began the Viet Minh had overrun the French base at Dien Bien Phu, forcing Vietnam onto the agenda. By the start of May, Paris had announced its idea to withdraw from Indochina and dismantle the colonial administration there. The French withdrawal would leave Vietnam without an established national government, placing it at risk of a communist takeover. The Geneva conference was given the unenviable task of arranging for Vietnam’s reunification and self government. The meeting produced a set of resolutions known as the Geneva Accords, a road map for Vietnam’s transition to independence. The Accords were not supported by major players, however, so had little chance of success.
