1. Germans were the first to use flamethrowers in WWI. Their flamethrowers could fire jets of flame as far as 130 feet (40 m).
2. More than 65 million men from 30 countries fought in WWI. Nearly 10
million died. The Allies (The Entente Powers) lost about 6 million
soldiers. The Central Powers lost about 4 million.
3. Nearly 2/3 of military deaths in WWI were in battle. In previous conflicts, most deaths were due to disease.
4. “Little Willie” was the first prototype tank in WWI. Built in 1915, it
carried a crew of three and could travel as fast as 3 mph (4.8 km/h).
5. During WWI, British tanks were initially categorized into “males” and
“females.” Male tanks had cannons, while females had heavy machine guns.
6. In August 1914, German troops shot and killed 150 civilians at Aerschot.
The killing was part of war policy known as Schrecklichkeit
(“frightfulness”). Its purpose was to terrify civilians in occupied
areas so that they would not rebel.
7. Artillery barrage and mines created immense noise. In 1917, explosives
blowing up beneath the German lines on Messines Ridge at Ypres in
Belgium could be heard in London 140 miles (220 km) away.
8. The Pool of Peace is a 40-ft (12-m) deep lake near Messines, Belgium. It
fills a crater made in 1917 when the British detonated a mine
containing 45 tons of explosives.
9. Tanks were initially called “landships.” However, in an attempt to
disguise them as water storage tanks rather than as weapons, the British
decided to code name them “tanks.”
10. During WWI, the Spanish flu caused about 1/3 of total military deaths.

John Locke influence on both the U.S and the French constitution
Answer:
His main objective was to overthrow the Cuban President, Fidel Castro
Explanation:
After President Kennedy assumed office, he was let in on a plan designed to overthrow Castro. The plan involved giving different military training to Cuban exiles and then sending them to invade Cuba and defeat Castro. Kennedy's advisors assured him that the plan would work but Castro got wind of the plan and only 300 out of 1,200 people sent survived the onslaught. The failure in the plan created more tension between the United States and other communist countries.
Answer:
When the USA annexed Texas as a state in 1845, the border between the US and Mexico became a matter of dispute and, ultimately, a cause for war. Mexico claimed that the border between Texas (as part of US) and Mexico was the Nueces River. The United States, on the other hand, said the border was the Rio Grande, further south than the Nueces.
When the war ended with the US victorious, the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo assigned the Rio Grand as the border, from its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico to the point where it reached New Mexico. (From there the border was assigned according to geographic lines on maps.)
As far as the $15 million payment from the US to Mexico, that was in compensation for the large amounts of territory taken over by the US. $15 million in 1848 would equal about $420 million in today's dollars.
The Mexican Cession was territory ceded (meaning given up) to the United States in 1848 after the Mexican-American War. The territory included lands that represent the full states of California, Nevada, and Utah, as well as large portions of Arizona and New Mexico, and about a quarter of what would become the state of Colorado. There was also a small section of Wyoming involved. So that represents the bulk of territory that is in Southwest of the present United States.
