<u>William Jennings Bryan</u> was a politician that was born in Illinois in 1860. He was a member of the House of Representatives between 1891 and 1895 for the State of Nebraska. During, <em><u>Democratic National Convention in 1896</u></em>, <u>Jennings Bryan</u> gave a celebrated 35-minutes speech in which, he explained why he supported an expansionary monetary policy featuring the unrestricted coinage of silver into money and defending that "<u>the Democratic idea has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests upon them"</u>. This speech made a favorable impact on the convention and he won the nomination for the Democratic party to face William McKinley, without the votes from those delegates that supported the gold standard. <em><u>This speech is known as "Cross of Gold speech"</u></em>. Later <em><u>Democratic presidents such as Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt took this philosophy</u></em>,  <u>to legislate for the masses leading to prosperity for everyone,</u> as an undeniable essence to their economic and domestic policies.

William Jennings Bryan was a former Democratic congressman from Nebraska, who gained the Democratic party nomination of 1896 after his famous "Cross of Gold" speech. He was defeated in the general election by the Republican candidate William McKinley.

Bryan's goal for the campaign was to build a broad-based movement. He tried to achieve that through a series of speeches across the United States in 1895 and 1896. His oratory skills made him very popular. He spoke some 600 times, to an estimated 5,000,000 listeners. He spoke on the issue of currency (mainly focused on silver), which was very relevant to all Americans following the Economic Panic of 1893. Although defeated, he remained a popular figure until his death.

When was Germany at war with Russia and France? When was a truce signed? How
myrzilka [38]
The Armistice of 11 November 1918 was the armistice signed at Le Francport near Compiègne that ended fighting on land, sea and air in World War I between the Allies and their last remaining opponent, Germany. Previous armistices had been agreed with Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Also known as the Armistice of Compiègne from the place where it was signed at 5:45 a.m. by the Allied Supreme Commander, French Marshal Ferdinand Foch,[1] it came into force at 11:00 a.m. Paris time on 11 November 1918 and marked a victory for the Allies and a defeat for Germany, although not formally a surrender.

How have the first 2 political parties influenced our current political system???
Artyom0805 [142]
The democrats and republicans have influenced our current political system by sharing most of the same values and views with the American people. As their party members and those who associate themselves tend to lead more toward what the party wants.
