1. His birth name was extremely long.

The future hero of the American Revolution was born Marie-Joseph-Paul-Yves-Roch-Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette in an expansive chateau in Chavaniac, France, on September 6, 1757. “It’s not my fault,” he joked in his autobiography. “I was baptized like a Spaniard, with the name of every conceivable saint who might offer me more protection in battle.”

2. King George III’s brother convinced Lafayette to fight against Great Britain.

3. Lafayette was only 19 years old and without combat experience when he arrived in America.

4. He was shot in the leg during his first battle.

During the Battle of Brandywine, near Philadelphia, on September 11, 1777, Lafayette was shot in the calf.  

5. Lafayette named his only son after George Washington.

6. Hounds that Lafayette sent to Washington helped to create a new breed of dog.

In 1785, Lafayette sent seven large French hounds across the Atlantic Ocean as gifts for Washington.  the future first president of the United States bred the hunting dogs with the imports. The combination of the  hounds helped to create the American Foxhound.

7. Lafayette co-authored the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen.

8. Lafayette is an honorary American citizen.

In 1784, Maryland conferred honorary citizenship upon Lafayette, and other colonies followed suit. The U.S. State Department, however, determined in 1935 that the measures did not result in the marquis becoming a United States citizen following the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. That changed in 2002 when Lafayette became the sixth foreign national to be given honorary American citizenship by Congress.

9. At the age of 72, he was still a revolutionary leader.

10. Lafayette was buried in France underneath dirt taken from Bunker Hill.

After the 76-year-old Lafayette died in Paris on May 20, 1834, he was laid to rest next to his wife at the city’s Pic pus Cemetery. To carry out the request of “The Hero of the Two Worlds” to be buried in both American and French soil, his son covered his coffin with dirt they had taken from Bunker Hill in 1825 when the marquis laid the cornerstone to the monument that still marks the battlefield

Vladimir Lenin's takeover of the Russian government and implementation of a communist government in Russia
Bond [772]

Revolution continued because the civil war between the Red Army and the White Army was still in progress .

Russia was still a participant in World War I, with its Eastern Front fighting on the side of the Entente against the Central Powers. As she suffered heavy losses, she needed to leave the war. The Bolshevik political program entailed the rapid exit of Russia from the war, which they did after they came to power when they signed a separate peace treaty with Germany in March 1918. Thus, with great territorial and other concessions in favor of the Central Powers, Russia exited from World War I.

That was the time when the currents had already formed that would be on the opposite side of the Bolshevik. Thus began the civil war in Russia, as the most serious form of war, where he makes his war against his own.

Explanation:

  • Lenin and the Bolsheviks in power, had the vision of only one party in power, and oppressed and suppressed every other opposition. Of course, this led to dissatisfaction and hatred of the other party.
  • Little by little, armed conflicts began, the now-declared 'red' Bolsheviks and the opposite side where all Bolshevik opponents united in a 'white' coalition found themselves.
  • For the war needed armies, and so a Red Army was formed on the Bolshevik side with Leo Trotsky as the founder, and a "white" army on the opposite side who had found allies in the Entente. Fronts have been established and a war that will last a full three years has begun.
  • The Civil War was based on the almost four years of World War I that had already exhausted the country before.
  • He was very passionate and violent, followed by scarcity in everything. From war material, to medicine, clothing and most importantly food. The famine of the Russian population ensued, which would be most affected by the most numerous strata, that of peasants and workers. The war was fought under impossible conditions, both because of constant scarcity and because of famine and epidemics.
