Answer:
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that U.S. state laws establishing racial segregation in public schools are unconstitutional, even if the segregated schools are otherwise equal in quality.
Explanation:
The Phoenicians were the people that were the masters of the Mediterranean for quite some time. They were known as excellent sailors, sheep builders, and they were also the main traders in the Mediterranean. The culture of the Phoenicians were very developed, and they also had something that most of the people didn't had, an alphabet. Because they were constantly on the move and in constant contact with the people living in the Mediterranean region, the Phoenicians introduced them to their alphabet. The civilizations in this region accepted it gladly, just made certain minor adjustments for their own needs. This was very beneficial for the Phoenicians because once the other people were able to write in their alphabet, they were able to communicate much more easily and also over distance, as well as spreading their cultural influence.
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.
