Have you ever wondered where the flamethrower came from? The flamethrower in World War One was mainly used and invented by the Germans. The inventor was a German engineer named Richard Fielder In 1901. It was used to burn down their enemies, including the French and the British, and their buildings. The flamethrower wasn’t the most effective weapon in World War One, but still it was a first in World War One.

José Martí 1853-1895
José Martí was born January 28, 1853 in Havana, Cuba. His parents were Marriano Marti Nvarro and Leonor Perez Cabrera. His mother was a teacher who allowed José to go to high school. He was the oldest brother of seven sisters.
José’s professions were poetry and writing articles for a newspaper in Cuba. He was banned to Spain because of writing about freeing Cuba from Spain in his articles at age 16. He earned a master’s degree and a law degree in his studies in Spain.
Later in his life he was a politician in Cuba and his saying was “Cuba Libre” (Free Cuba). As a politician in Cuba, he was trying to free Cuba from Spain. He died in war, May 19, 1985, at age 42 in Dos Rios. Seven years later Cuba finally got their independence from Spain with the help of the U.S.

Dear Spain,
We have intercepted the De Lome letter. How could you say those things about our president? He is not a weak politician and Americans are not jingoes. McKinley is a great man and a great politician. I feel it is you, the Spanish, that are the jingoes for killing those Cubans. We are a democracy, we do not war. We are peaceful Americans and do not want to fight the Spanish. If this continues there will be war, and we will crush your army.
Sincerely,
Quin
