(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.
The Winter War (Finnish: talvisota, Swedish: vinterkriget, Russian: Ð·Ð¸ÌÐ¼Ð½ÑÑ Ð²Ð¾Ð¹Ð½Ð°Ì, tr. Zimnyaya voyna) was a military conflict between the Soviet Union and Finland in 1939â1940. It began with the Soviet invasion of Finland on 30 November 1939 (three months after the outbreak of World War II), and ended with the Moscow Peace Treaty on 13 March 1940.
