History - June 2007

I mean we saw Normandy landings in "Saving Private Ryan", Battle of Gettysburg in "Gettysburg", Battle of Thermopylae in "300", Issus in "Alexander", Iwo Jima, etc. Am just interested in battle tactics... does anybody here knows some movies of famous battles?

In your humble opinions, who are the greatest, most controversial, and/or influential movers and shakers in the history of New York City? I'd love to see all of you submit at least ten suggestions (I hate top ten lists, ha!). Feel free to offer any names from any realm: sports, politics, humanities, finance, entertainment, et al, but try to make it a mixed bag. I don't want to see a list of your top ten Yankees. And please try to think historically. I seriously doubt there are any truly landmark individuals from the last 25 years, excluding Rudy Giuliani, Al Sharpton, Joe Torre and Bernie Goetz. Thanks, and send in those submissions!

Germany and Berlin was divided into 4 parts. Why was Japan and Tokyo not divided into 2 parts, Since it was the russians and Americans who fought in the pacific? And instead Russia and America fought over Korea.

I've heard him giving words of encouragement to the French in their language, but one could learn that without actually understaning it. Could he communicate freely in the language? Any evidence? Thanks.

Please read the following carefully, as it is a multiple-answer question.

Two US presidents had sons who were in Normandy during Operation Overlord.

Please tell me:
1. The name of each president.
2. The name of each of the presidential sons.
3. The rank of each of the presidential sons while they were there in 1944.
4. Finally, which presidential son got there (to Normandy) first.

Thanks!

(BTW, this is not homework. I know the answers. It's just light WWII D-Day trivia.)

President Jefferson and nation were relieved when France resecured Louisiana from Spain in 1800, for Americans would again have shipping rights through New Orleans, a better chance for western expansion, and a friendly neighbor along their western border.
True or False?

I think it's false,coz after the French recontrol of Louisiana from Spain in 1800, American was worried about that France would limited the western trade and be a potentially threat.SO,IT'S NOT "Relieved"

I read somewhere that Jefferson thought Jackson was unfit for the presidency. Is this true? I can't find the quote now.

I just read an article on Wikipedia about how Jackson took his ideas from Jefferson, but that doesn't fit within the context of my memory for Jefferson's view

Thanks for your help!
