World War I was also known as The Great War, and The War to End All Wars. <span>It was the first time so many nations, and such a large percentage of the globe, was involved in a conflict. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>
The real story of Cinco de Mayo weaves together two concurrent wars—the French intervention in Mexico (also known as The Maximillian Affair) and the American Civil War. On May 5, 1862, defending Mexican forces under Ignacio Zaragoza defeated Napoleon III's French army at Puebla, one of the most important Spanish colonial cities in Mexico. At the time, the French army was considered to be the most powerful fighting force in the world, and the unlikely Mexican victory resulted in a decree by then-Mexican President Benito Juárez that a celebration of the battle be held each year on May 5th. Cinco de Mayo was born, but it was about to be kidnapped.
As the French were making war with Mexico, the American Confederacy was courting Napoleon's help in its conflict with the United States. At the time of the Battle of Puebla, the Confederacy had strung together impressive victories over the Union forces. According to some historians, the French, who made war with Mexico on the pretext of collecting debt, planned to use Mexico as a "base" from which they could help the Confederacy defeat the North, and the Mexican victory at Puebla made the French pause long enough for the Union army to grow stronger and gain momentum. Had the French won at Puebla, some contend, the outcome of the American Civil War could have been much different, as the French and Confederates together could have taken control of the continent from the Mason Dixon line to Guatemela, installing an oligarchical, slave-holding government.
Most people believe they were immodest and carnal at that time. They wore short dresses and high heels.
Is this a true or false question?
Answer:
Taft was the son of President William Howard Taft and the grandson of Attorney General Alphonso Taft. As a US Senator, Robert Taft may arguably be more influential than either of his ancestors. He led the conservative wing of the Republican Party throughout the 1940s and early 1950s. He was the leading isolationist, pro-business, and anti-New Dealer of his time. Taft is known as the founder of Modern Republican Conservatism. Taft got a late start in politics, going into the US Senate when he was about 50 years old, where he quickly worked with conservative Republicans and Southern Democrats to protest much of the New Deal. Taft died in office in 1953. His son Robert Taft, Jr. later became a US Senator, and his grandson, Bob Taft (Robert Taft III), was a rather liberal Republican governor of Ohio from 1999 to 2007. Taft was a presidential candidate in three elections. He first ran for president in 1940, as a first term senator. Despite this, he came in second in the ballot at the convention. In 1948, Taft came in second once again for the Republican nomination. In his last attempt for the presidency, Taft bested Eisenhower in the 1952 Republican primaries, but was defeated at the Convention when a rule change shifted enough delegates to Eisenhower to ensure the World War II general was the nominee.
