In 1962 Cesar founded the National Farm Workers Association, later to become the United Farm Workers – the UFW. He was joined by Dolores Huerta and the union was born. That same year Richard Chavez designed the UFW Eagle and Cesar chose the black and red colors. Cesar told the story of the birth of the eagle. He asked Richard to design the flag, but Richard could not make an eagle that he liked. Finally he sketched one on a piece of brown wrapping paper. He then squared off the wing edges so that the eagle would be easier for union members to draw on the handmade red flags that would give courage to the farm workers with their own powerful symbol. Cesar made reference to the flag by stating, “A symbol is an important thing. That is why we chose an Aztec eagle. It gives pride . . . When people see it they know it means dignity.”

For a long time in 1962, there were very few union dues paying members. By 1970 the UFW got grape growers to accept union contracts and had effectively organized most of that industry, at one point in time claiming 50,000 dues paying members. The reason was Cesar Chavez’s tireless leadership and nonviolent tactics that included the Delano grape strike, his fasts that focused national attention on farm workers problems, and the 340-mile march from Delano to Sacramento in 1966. The farm workers and supporters carried banners with the black eagle with HUELGA (strike) and VIVA LA CAUSA (Long live our cause). The marchers wanted the state government to pass laws which would permit farm workers to organize into a union and allow collective bargaining agreements. Cesar made people aware of the struggles of farm workers for better pay and safer working conditions. He succeeded through nonviolent tactics (boycotts, pickets, and strikes). Cesar Chavez and the union sought recognition of the importance and dignity of all farm workers.

How did world war 2 progress in europe and in the pacific between 1939 and 1943?
julsineya [31]

The second world war began with the German attack on Poland in 1939. On the occasion of Britain and France, the war has been declared to Germany, which spreads throughout the whole of Europe over the next year. On December 7, 1941, Japan arrived at Perl Harbor and damaged the American fleet to the extent that America could not for some time have been able to condemn Japanese operations in the Pacific. After this event America announces the war on Japan, and Germany announces the war on America. After the Perl Harbor attack, Japan continued its occupation of the Pacific, in late 1941 and in 1942, occupied a similar paxifical island like Guam, Wake. Philippines, etc. However, in mid-1942, British forces in India, as well as the Australian forces in New Guinea, managed to stop the Japanese advance. During this time in Europe, Germany occupied almost all countries as well as lunched the invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941. Over the years to come, the famous Eastern Front was a battlefield of great battles. The Battle of Stalingrad was decisive in 1943, which ended with the defeat of the Sixth German Army and, according to many historians, marks a milestone in the entire Second World War. This defeat for Germany was a disaster, the Nazi public was shocked and Germany for the first time recognized the defeat in the war. Thereafter, the Nazis are increasingly defeated on many fronts and the military morale of the German soldiers begins to fall. Guadalcanal was secured in the same year in 1943, and this is the first major achievement of the American Offensive in the Pacific, while US General Eisenhower was elected to command allied troops in Europe. The year 1943 begins slowly to mark the milestone in the Second World War.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The end of the Crisis can likewise either be dated from the assassination of Julius Caesar on 15 March 44 BC, after he and Sulla had done so much "to dismantle the government of the Republic,"[21] or alternately when Octavian was granted the title of Augustus by the Senate in 27 BC, marking the beginning of the Roman Empire.[22] The end could also be dated earlier, to the time of the constitutional reforms of Julius Caesar in 49 BC.
