A. Gonzales
Explanation:
Revolutionary Texans had only formally announced their independence from Mexico 11 days earlier. On March 6, 1836, the separatists chose Sam Houston to be the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army. Houston immediately departed for Gonzales, Texas, where the main force of the revolutionary army was stationed. When he arrived, he found that the Texan army consisted of 374 poorly dressed and ill-equipped men. Most had no guns or military experience, and they had only two days of rations.
President Eisenhower exercised his federal authority in an effort to desegregate schools after the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling. This famous Supreme Court case stated that the idea of "separate but equal" is inherently unequal. Despite the ruling, several different southern states refused to follow the new ruling. This included the state of Arkansas.
The governor of Arkansas used the Arkansas National Guard to stop nine black students from attending Central High School after the Brown vs. Board ruling. Eisenhower than used his presidential authority to send in the 101st Airborne Division of the US military to ensure that these nine students were able to attend Central High School.

They demanded a type of increased wage, or allowance of food/ration, and eventually gained some ground, which led a sort of Yeoman class, (emerging lower class) in England, and the bourgeoisie, for example, in France.</span>
Answer: Spain.
Explanation:
The Spanish Civil War was described as "dress rehearsal", because the bombing of Spanish cities by Nationalist rebels with the support of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, allowed them to test new weapons later used in World War II, like the He-111 and Do-17 bombers.
Particularly, gruesome was the bombing of Guernica, later depicted in Pablo Picasso´s painting because it was a military air force attack over civilians, which is considered as a war crime.
