The middle ages in Europe were pretty terrible. Politically, kings ruled directly over groups of people, or over whole countries. The kings answered to the Pope generally. Economically, the kings and their nobles owned most of the profits of hard labor, while the townspeople after were treated to low wages. A sizable gap between classes was seen economically, and there was little room for changes in a persons economic class. Socially, the structure went like this: beggars and thieves, serfs (or non land owning peasants), knights, nobles and bishops, kings, the Pope.

the Truman Doctrine is a set of principles of U.S. foreign policy
declared by Harry Truman in a 1947 address to Congress to request $400
million in aid to Greece and Turkey, as well as authorization to send
American economic and military advisers to the two countries. Truman
argued that the U.S. should support Greece and Turkey economically and
militarily to prevent their falling under Soviet control. he supported
this request by proclaiming: "one of the primary objectives of the
foreign policy of the United States is the creation of conditions in
which we and other nations will be able to work out a way of life free
from coercion. this was a fundamental issue in the war with Germany and
Japan. our victory was won over countries which sought to impose their
will, and their way of life, upon other nations." he called upon the
U.S. to "support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by
armed minorities or by outside pressures," which generalized his hopes
for Greece and Turkey into a doctrine applicable throughout the world.
the Soviet Union was clearly at the heart of Truman's thoughts, but it
was never directly mentioned in his speech. as Edler states, Truman was
attempting to solve Eastern Europe's instability while making sure the
spread of communism would not affect nations like Greece and Turkey. </span>

Answer:
GUTIÉRREZ DE LARA, JOSÉ BERNARDO MAXIMILIANO (1774–1841).José Bernardo Maximiliano Gutiérrez de Lara, Mexican revolutionary and diplomat, son of Santiago Gutiérrez de Lara and Maria Uribe, was born at Revilla (present Guerrero), Tamaulipas, Mexico, on August 20, 1774. He married his cousin María Josefa Uribe and became a merchant, blacksmith, and property owner at Revilla. During the Mexican War of Independence, led by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Gutiérrez and his brother were successful in fomenting revolution in Nuevo Santander, and Gutiérrez was sent by Hidalgo to recruit along the Rio Grande. After the Casas Revolt, Gutiérrez was commissioned by the rebels to solicit aid in the United States. He left Saltillo for the United States on March 17, 1811, going by way of Revilla to collect supplies. After the capture of Hidalgo, he resolved to continue his mission and in August 1811 went to Natchitoches, Louisiana. In October he left for Washington, D.C., with letters of introduction from John Sibley and arrived on December 11, 1811. He was received by Secretary of State James Monroe, who listened to the plans for establishment of a republican government in Texas and use of Texas as a base for effecting the liberation of Mexico. During his stay in Washington the Mexican leader met the ministers of Britain, Denmark, and Russia, and visited the representative from revolutionary Venezuela. Also in Washington, Gutiérrez met José Álvarez de Toledo, and with Álvarez in Philadelphia in January 1812 made plans for the liberation of Texas and Mexico. Back in Louisiana in March 1812, Gutiérrez was introduced to William Shaler, special agent from the United States, who helped Gutiérrez to return to Texas. In April 1812 the two men were in Natchitoches, where the Gutiérrez-Magee expedition assembled and set out for Texas.
