  • Mummy Darling,You recent precious letter of 5.7.42(1 of how series) has arrived this evening - even more infinitely precious than you can imagine. Look at the date and you will see why. Yes - once of we are doing our pre-ordained job - and though it is early to voice too many opportunistic hopes I think we are getting along pretty well. It is always wonderful hearing from you, but at times like this when one is of necessity living under rather a strain, your letters are a great comfort and inspiration. It seems to bring home the fact that we aren't dumped out here in a rather un-attractive desert and told to get on with the fighting, but that we are preventing the further spoilations of our own homes. I hate to think of you worrying about me, really it is not necessary - you probably imagine all sorts of things happening that exist more in the minds of verbose war correspondents than in actual fact. We know by now that physically we can stand anything, and mental endurance being purely an individual spiritual affair. I think I can safely say that I am not in any way worried. I feel very safe and sure and certain, and the end should come in this way, I think its for preferable like this because I do (furiously) believe in the things (are worth) fighting. This is only saying that I have ( )said before, but it is to ( ) now on this third anniversary of our entry into the war as it was on that bright autumn Sunday morning when we first heard the news. Despite what has been happening these last few days have been very happy ones for me as once again Fred and I are temporarily together and once more the mob has been confounded by our own private humour and seemingly vile accusations and public washing of dirty clothing in the best back alley style. Tonight we discovered a bottle of beer - surely the last and consumed it ... .. .

  • In Cuba, Cortes married a woman named Catalina Xuarez, although not by free will. Cortes was imprisoned twice, and escaped twice, only to give in at the end by marrying Catalina. He did this not because he wanted to, but because he had in fact promised to marry her and he wanted to live a peaceful life (Gomara, 1964). After this, he made ready to journey to Mexico.
  • After Cortes had conquered Mexico he returned to Spain expecting to be given the governorship of Mexico, something he fought in vain for for his entire life. He became poor and fell under numerous lawsuits which drained his accounts even more. He made a trip back to Mexico and led a few failed expeditions to the North and South before returning to Spain once more, still asking for the governorship. He remarried a woman named Juana de Zuniga after the death of Catalina. Cortes tried for a time to live a quiet life without much adventure but found it impossible and soon he was planning another trip to Mexico. Unfortunately, Cortes fell ill and died on December 2, 1547 at the age of sixty three in Seville, Spain (Gomara, 1964). He left behind a son from Juana de Zuniga named Martin, who inherited his estate. He had three daughters from her as well, named Maria, Catalina, and Juana.He also had another son from his translator in Mexico, Marina, whom he also named Martin. There was also another son from a Spanish woman named Luis Cortes and finally three daughters from three different Indian women. He founded the Hospital of Jesus in Mexico as well as a school and a nunnery

      world war 2 was brutal
  • The instability created in Europe by the First World War (1914-18) set the stage for another international conflict–World War II–which broke out two decades later and would prove even more devastating. Rising to power in an economically and politically unstable Germany, Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist (Nazi Party) rearmed the nation and signed strategic treaties with Italy and Japan to further his ambitions of world domination. Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939 drove Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany, and World War II had begun. Over the next six years, the conflict would take more lives and destroy more land and property around the globe than any previous war. Among the estimated 45-60 million people killed were 6 million Jews murdered in Nazi concentration camps as part of Hitler's diabolical "Final Solution," now known as the Holocaust.
