Milton Hershey: More Than Chocolate

'We've done more than our share to see you right, but you're a Hershey, a true son of a dreamer,' Milton's Uncle Abraham said. 'You'll never stick with anything long enough to make it work for you.' Milton gulped. He'd already suspected that his relatives had given up on him succeeding as a candy maker, but the words still stung. When Milton Hershey's famous Hershey Bars debuted in 1905, few people knew of the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice preceding the triumph. Debt, lack of support, and fatigue had been constant companions for the famous chocolatier and philanthropist -- a man with a fourth-grade education. Despite comparisons to his wandering father, Milton never gave up. Learning from his mistakes, he spent a lifetime creating sweet things to eat -- first caramel, then chocolate. As his company soared, Milton used his wealth to care for others, founding a town for Hershey workers, a school for children in need, and a foundation dedicated to education, culture, and health care.

She also wishes the boy next door, Joey, would talk to her again like he used to. Soon the girls' lives become inextricably linked.

[Spanish] - Primera Guerra Mundial

La Primera Guerra Mundial, también llamada la Gran Guerra, fue un conflicto militar de carácter mundial, aunque centrado en Europa, que empezó el 28 de julio de 1914 y finalizó el 11 de noviembre de 1918, cuando Alemania aceptó las condiciones del armisticio. Recibió el calificativo de «mundial» porque se vieron involucradas todas las grandes potencias industriales y militares de la época, divididas en dos alianzas.20 Por un lado, la Triple Alianza formada por las Potencias Centrales: el Imperio alemán y Austria-Hungría. Italia, que había sido miembro de la Triple Alianza junto a Alemania y Austria-Hungría, no se unió a las Potencias Centrales, pues Austria, en contra de los términos pactados, fue la nación agresora que desencadenó el conflicto. Por otro lado se encontraba la Triple Entente, formada por el Reino Unido, Francia y el Imperio ruso. Ambas alianzas sufrieron cambios y fueron varias las naciones que acabarían ingresando en las filas de uno u otro bando según avanzaba la guerra: Italia, el Imperio del Japón y Estados Unidos se unieron a la Triple Entente, mientras el Imperio otomano y el Reino de Bulgaria se unieron a las Potencias Centrales. Más de 70 millones de militares, de los cuales 60 millones eran europeos, se movilizaron y combatieron en la entonces guerra más grande de la historia.

Sherman Makes Georgia Howl: The Atlanta Campaign and Sherman’s March to the Sea

Both Grant and Sherman shared the same theory of war: anything that might help the enemy's war effort should be considered a military target. After the Atlanta campaign, Grant explained to Sherman that the Confederates must be “demoralized and left without hope,” and he instructed Sherman, “Take all provisions, forage and stock wanted for the use of your command. Such as cannot be consumed, destroy. Leave the valley so barren that crows flying over it...will have to carry their provender with them.” This strategy sought the total economic collapse of the South, as well as completely disabling the South’s capability of fielding armies. In addition to the wholesale plundering of Southern resources, including taking them from civilians, the Union reversed its policy of swapping prisoners, realizing it had a far bigger reserve of manpower than the South. The Atlanta Campaign was a perfect example of this, as both sides lost about the same number of casualties. By September 1864, however, Sherman still had about 80,000 men, while Hood’s army was reduced to about 30,000. Following the design of Grant's innovative and successful Vicksburg Campaign, Sherman's armies eliminated their need for traditional supply lines by living off the land. Ultimately, Sherman’s armies cut a path of abject destruction 60 miles wide and 300 hundred miles long from Atlanta to Savannah, which some likened to a Biblical blight. And as Sherman had intended, he did indeed made Georgia “howl.” Due in large part to the March to the Sea, Sherman remains controversial across much of the United States today. The South considered him akin to a terrorist and adamantly insisted that he was violating the norms of warfare by targeting civilians. In many ways, Sherman is still the scourge of the South nearly 160 years after he vowed to make Georgia howl.
