The Spanish-American War, on the other hand came many decades after the Mexican-American War.

Good Moring Mrs Davies and class, Celebrating our national day on the date of British settlement in 1788 has never been a date that brings all Australians together, no matter how many flags we wave or happy barbecues we may enjoy.

Poverty will never truly be eliminated.…
