Explanation:
The Populist Party was a third party created due to the discontent of farmers against the major political parties (Republican and Democratic parties) because of the Gold Standard issue, and because they felt ignored. This Party is often regarded as a failure because it focused on one issue (to increase the money supply) and tried to gain the support of farmers and workers, but the workers' wants and needs were different than those of the farmers, so the Populist Party didn't had all the support it needed to succeed and ended up being absorbed by the Progressive Party. Although the Populist Party didn't succeed, it helped creating awareness of the farmers conditions, so that the Republican and Democratic parties could also focus on that side of the population.
World War 1 or First World War was known as the Great War or "The war to end all wars", before the beginning of the Second World War.
The principal countries involved in this war were Russia, France, Britain, Italy and the United States of America in one side, and Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey on the other side, forming two opposed alliances: The Allies and the Central Powers.
This war began because of a Serbian nationalist, who killed Archduke Ferdinand, heir of the Austrian throne. Because of this act of terrorism, a great war started, and that come to be known as the major European conflict in a hundred thousand years.
New Orleans was significant during the Civil War, because the city was divided. The northern part was controlled by the Union Army, but the southern part was still Confederate so they were spared from the Emancipation Proclamation. Many cities in the South were destroyed, but New Orleans was largely spared. Many African-American troops fought for the North and most of New Orleans was captured and controlled by the Union Army early on in the war.
