(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.
It was therefore sometimes referred to as 'the Great War for Civilisation'. Although 'Great War' remained in use after the conflict was over, the moral connotations and implications that it had been 'a war to end all wars' fell away as the prospect grew in the 1930s of a second world war.or more burning historical Q&As on the Tudors, ancient Rome, the First World War and ancient Egypt, click here. 1  Article Type: | Military history | First World War | Feature | Q&A | answer | explains | Great War | questions | why | WWI |.
