The Populist Party wanted to push several issues at the time in the 1890s in the United States.
1. Free Silver--one of their biggest platforms was to change the currency to free silver to make it more affordable for the average person to use, instead of having money backed up by the gold standard.
2. Eight hour workday--They wanted to have workers and laborers be given an eight hour workday to give workers better working conditions than what they currently faced.
3. Income tax--They wanted to have a federal income tax (which later becomes the 16th Amendment) to have different taxes for people based on their income, or how much money they would make. So essentially, a very wealthy person would have higher taxes than a poor person.
4. Regulation of the railroad--They wanted the government to regulate the railroad instead of the big businesses regulating the railroad and coming up with the prices. The farmers especially felt as though it was not fair to allow the business owners to set the prices.
The Populist Party was essentially called the People's Party because they wanted to better represent and recognize the common people in government.
The Spanish Civil War started in July 1936 with the military coup leaded by General Franco, which started a rebellion against the democratically elected Republican goverment. Since the establishment of a Republic and the abolition of the monarchy in 1931, mostly left-wing parties and progressisf leaders had won the elections.
The most conservative sectors of the army followed the fascist general Franco who, during the war, received the support of Hitler and Mussolini, specially, of their aviation military units. The democratic European states refused to help the Spanish Republic and only the URSS contributed by sending some armament.
The war ended in 1939 with the victory of the fascists and the establishment of a military dictatorship that would last until the death of Franco, the dictator, in 1975.
If you meant Denton Cooley, he was the first person to implant an artificial heart in 1969.
What about the objects found in no man’s land?
Not that well. The British attempt to curb westward expansion was a failure - Americans kept on trying to expand and the British were getting tired of paying for defense costs.
