Romulus and Remus, two twin brothers founded the city of Rome. However, the twins had an argument about where to start Rome. Romulus favored the Palatine Hill, but Remus favored the Aventine Hill.
They decided to settle the disagreement by asking the gods. Each brother stood on his respective hill. Remus saw six birds fly overhead, and Romulus saw twelve. However, Remus countered that he had seen the birds first.
Nonetheless, Romulus started to build a wall around his city. Then, Remus jumped over the wall as an insult to his brother. Angered, Romulus killed Remus. He regretted it, and took Remus to Amulius's palace, and buried him there.
Answer:
The Jackson Administration is most known for the dissolution of the Second Federal Bank of the United States, and the economic downturn that could be attributed to this. It is also known for the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which nullified all land claims of Native Americans in the state of Georgia, (among other states) these land claims had been previously ratified by a treaty and the Supreme Court. This act was viewed as cruel, and an act of tyranny. If Jackson could overrule the Supreme Court, whats to stop him from doing whatever he likes?
He did push himself forward as a man of the people however, and his policies, (including the Indian Removal Act of 1830), were in the best interest of the American people, at least according to him and other Jeffersonian Republicans. The belief of the Jeffersonian Republicans was that economic independence and political independence went hand in hand, and only through providing for themselves, through the owning of land, could a man truly be free.
Andrew Jackson also acted decisively in the face of the Nullification Crisis and threatened South Carolina with war when the option of secession was first put forward. For his decisive action he was praised by the people as a preserver of the Union.
Hope this helps!!

Answer:
Latin American countries continued to pursue export-led growth after the First World War. However, the external environment was by then much less favourable. Export growth was therefore modest. Fiscal and financial policies became more orthodox after the war and this, coupled with the disappointing performance of the export sector, made it difficult to promote industry – especially in those countries where it had yet to take root. By the time of the Great Depression, no Latin American country had been able to escape from dependence on primary product exports. The region was therefore very vulnerable to the subsequent collapse of commodity prices.
Answer:The Mexican–American War,[a] also known in the United States as the Mexican War and in Mexico as the Intervención Estadounidense en México (United States intervention in Mexico),[b] was an armed conflict between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848. It followed in the wake of the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas, which was not formally recognized by the Mexican government, who disputed the Treaties of Velasco signed by Mexican caudillo President/General Antonio López de Santa Anna after the Texas Revolution a decade earlier. In 1845, newly elected U.S. President James K. Polk, who saw the annexation of Texas as the first step towards a further expansion of the United States,[5] sent troops to the disputed area and a diplomatic mission to Mexico. After Mexican forces attacked U.S. forces, the United States Congress declared war.
U.S. forces quickly occupied the regional capital of Santa Fe de Nuevo México along the upper Rio Grande and the Pacific coast province of Alta California, and then moved south. Meanwhile, the Pacific Squadron of the U.S. Navy blockaded the Pacific coast farther south in lower Baja California Territory. The U.S. Army under Major General Winfield Scott eventually captured Mexico City through stiff resistance, having marched west from the port of Veracruz on the Gulf Coast, where the U.S. staged its first ever major amphibious landing.
The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, forced onto the remnant Mexican government, ended the war and enforced the Mexican Cession of the northern territories of Alta California and Santa Fe de Nuevo México to the United States. The U.S. agreed to pay $15 million compensation for the physical damage of the war and assumed $3.25 million of debt already owed earlier by the Mexican government to U.S. citizens. Mexico acknowledged the loss of what became the State of Texas and accepted the Rio Grande as its northern border with the United States.
The victory and territorial expansion Polk envisioned[6] inspired great patriotism in the United States, but the war and treaty drew some criticism in the U.S. for their casualties, monetary cost, and heavy-handedness,[7][8] particularly early on. The question of how to treat the new acquisitions also intensified the debate over slavery. Mexico's worsened domestic turmoil and losses of life, territory and national prestige left it in what prominent Mexicans called a "state of degradation and ruin".[9]
