<em>Answer:</em>
<em>Germany and Russia fight about Austria or Germany will render him Russia cant handle that anymore. Then Britain and France ask Germany it there looking at Belgium then Turkey and Germany go talk then they come. Turkey makes a show of not looking at anyone then Germany looks at France and punches Belgium. France partners up with Britain then punches Germany while Austria punches Russia and Germany punches Britain and France with one hand plus punches Russia with the other one. Russia tries to punch Germany but misses and nearly falls over while Japan calls over from the other side that's on Britain's side. But they stay there Italy surprises everyone by punching Austria then Australia takes a hit towards Turkey and gets punched back. There was no hard feels because Britain made Australia punch them. While France gets thrown through a window but get back up and counitues too fight and Russia gets thrown through another one and gets knocked out. Italy thorws a punch but misses Austria but Austria falls over anyway but Italy raises there fist and runs around the room. America waits till Germany is about to fall from getting a big punch from Britain and France then walks over and hits it with a barstool. By then everything is broken so Britain, France, and America agreed that Germany threw the first punch so it was Germany's fault</em>
Answer: The Second Crusade was the second major crusade launched from Europe, called in 1145 in response to the fall of the County of Edessa the previous year. Edessa was the first of the Crusader states to have been founded during the First Crusade (1095–1099), and was the first to fall. The Second Crusade was announced by Pope Eugene III, and was the first of the crusades to be led by European kings, namely Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, with help from a number of other important European nobles. The armies of the two kings marched separately across Europe and were somewhat hindered by Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus; after crossing Byzantine territory into Anatolia, both armies were separately defeated by the Seljuk Turks. Louis and Conrad and the remnants of their armies reached Jerusalem and, in 1148, participated in an ill-advised attack on Damascus. The crusade in the east was a failure for the crusaders and a great victory for the Muslims. It would ultimately lead to the fall of Jerusalem and the Third Crusade at the end of the 12th century.
The only success came outside of the Mediterranean, where Flemish, Frisian, Norman, English, Scottish, and some German crusaders, on the way by ship to the Holy Land, fortuitously stopped and helped capture Lisbon in 1147. Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe, the first of the Northern Crusades began with the intent of forcibly converting pagan tribes to Christianity, and these crusades would go on for centuries.
Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko are best-known as pioneers of Abstract Expressionism. But all four were also among thousands of artists and other creatives employed by the government through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) between the years of 1935 and 1943. That the arts would be funded significantly by the federal government—never mind that it would actively employ artists—may well raise an eyebrow today. But working under a subdivision of the WPA known as the Federal Art Project, these artists got to work to help the country recover from the Great Depression, as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.
Evidence of impoverishment and a portfolio showcasing one’s skills and commitment to the arts were all that was needed to qualify for the WPA initiative. This and the Federal Art Project’s non-discrimination clause meant that it attracted, and hired, not just white men but also artists of color and women who received little attention in the mainstream art world of the day. These artists created posters, murals, paintings, and sculptures to adorn public buildings.
