(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.
