Landslide victories do not guarantee that Congress will be of the same party and therefore can prevent continued success by the President. 

These presidents were reelected due to the trust Americans had in them to get the country through a tough time. FDR--Great Depression, LBJ--assassination of JFK, Nixon--Vietnam/activism, and Reagan--recession. However, Congress was not in their favor to continue the policies they had been using in their first terms. On that note, these were all 2nd term (LBJ was technically first election but had served two years already) elections where the president had gained the approval of the people. 
All faced increased adversity as well after the landslide victory. FDR--recession and WWII begins, LBJ--entry into Vietnam, Nixon--Watergate, and Reagan--stock market crash.

What happened during the Spanish-American War and what territories did America take during this war?
ra1l [238]

The Spanish-American War was a conflict between the United States and Spain that ended Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and resulted in U.S. acquisition of territories in the western Pacific and Latin America. The war originated in the Cuban struggle for independence from Spain, which began in February 1895. Spain declared war on the United States on April 24, 1898, followed by a U.S. declaration of war on the 25th, which was made retroactive to April 21. Spain had readied neither its army nor its navy for a distant war with the formidable power of the United States. George Dewey led a U.S. naval squadron into Manila Bay in the Philippines on May 1, 1898, and destroyed the anchored Spanish fleet in a leisurely morning engagement that cost only seven American seamen wounded. Manila itself was occupied by U.S. troops by August. Spain's General Cervera led his squadron out of Santiago on July 3 and tried to escape westward along the coast. In the ensuing battle all of his ships came under heavy fire from U.S. guns and were beached in a burning or sinking condition. Santiago surrendered to Shafter on July 17, thus effectively ending the war. By the Treaty of Paris (signed Dec. 10, 1898), Spain renounced all claim to Cuba, ceded Guam and Puerto Rico to the United States, and transferred sovereignty over the Philippines to the United States for $20,000,000. I hope this helps!

Where is Bruno and his family moving to?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

So it doesn't say what book/ passage you are reading from, and there are SO many Brunos in so many different books. But I'm pretty sure you are talking about The boy in the striped pajamas, and if you are they move to  Poland :)

But if that's not what you are reading I'm 80% sure the answer you're looking for is Auschwitz
