(October 2013) Mesoamerican chronology divides the history of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica into several periods: the Paleo-Indian (first human habitationâ3500 BCE), the Archaic (3500â2000), the Preclassic or Formative (2000 BCEâ200 CE), the Classic (200 CEâ1000CE), and the Postclassic (1000 CEâ1697 CE).
John Hay called the Spanish-American War a splendid little war  because it was short but substantial. It lasted a little over three  months and resulted in the total defeat â¦ and collapse of the Spanish  Empire at the hands of the Americans.
What was World War 1 called before World War 2? [closed] In France they called it The Great War (La Grande Guerre), pacifist veterans called it La der' des der' (The Last of the Last (Wars)). In England it was called the World War, or the Great War. I think the German diplomats were the first to call it a World War (Weltkrieg), before it even began. I don't know of any other names for it in German.
