Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural speech is probably his best known speech with the exception of him from Gettysburg. It is not surprising that these are the two speeches that are engraved in marble at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.

Lincoln had used his first inaugural address four years earlier to analyze what the Constitution had to say about the crisis facing our nation at that time. He had tried to persuade the South to voluntarily turn from the path he had taken without compromising the integrity of the Constitution and the system of government. That did not happen, and instead, as Lincoln would now say in his second inaugural speech, "Both parties looked down on the war; but one of them would wage war instead of letting the nation survive; and the other would accept the war instead of letting it perish. And the war came. "

The war had arrived, and finally, four long years later, it seemed to be coming to an end. After so many setbacks and disappointments, the President could now confidently express "great hope for the future". Faced with a radically different situation, Lincoln's speech was also completely different. It was much shorter than the first, and he did not mention the Constitution at all. Interestingly, Lincoln spoke very little about the future, and devoted most of his speech to the past, and in a way that was certainly not expected by the public that day.

the correct answers are the following

a proxy war which functioned as a training field for wwii

republican democratic goverment

national side, leaded by the fascist general franco

the spanish civil war took place between 1936 and 1939 and was fought after a military coup undertaken on the 17th july 1936 by a group of generals that had seceeded from the spanish republican army, under the leadership of general franco, and who aimed to expel the democractically-elected republican goverment from power.

this war became a proxy war in which european powers tested their military equipment. on one side, urss and mexico supported the left-wing republican spanish goverment, while nazi germany and fascist italy supported the national fascist side.

franco managed to win the war in 1939, with the significant contribution of the foreign military support, and became the dictator of spain until his death in 1975.
