United States electoral map in 1964. The number on the map determines the number of state representatives in the College of Electors

US presidential elections in 1964 - the forty-fifth presidential election in the United States. The president was Lyndon Johnson, and Hubert Humphrey was the vice president.

Election campaign

The legislative offensive of the incumbent president in 1964 has given him popularity. Johnson passed the law on tax cuts, the fight against poverty and, above all, on civic rights (abolishing racial segregation in public places). This was the basis of his policy, later called the "Great Society" program. These actions provided him with the support of the Democratic Party, which at its convention, held on August 24-27, 1964 in Atlantic City, gave him unanimous support in the first vote. Hubert Humphrey became the vice president. In the Republican Party, Barry Goldwater and the liberal Nelson Rockefeller have been nominated for presidential nomination. Strong conservative circles pushed for the candidacy of the former and received a party nomination at the San Francisco Convention. In terms of internal policies, Goldwater attacked the social system and advocated a reduction in the federal government's influence. In the field of foreign policy he professed the principle of total victory over Communism, even suggesting the use of nuclear weapons in the Vietnam War. Johnson promised to continue the New Deal policy, promising a high economic climate and declaring peace and restraint in foreign policy. These promises have made the highest victory in the history of the general election in the United States. Candidates Democratic Party Republican Party Voting results

José René "Pupo" Román Fernández (died 1961) - Dominican general. Curriculum vitae In the Dominican history, when the dictatorial president Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was in power, Roman was his niece's husband and "third person in the state" (Trujillo and SIM Arturo Espaillata). He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

Myrmex Indikos

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler. The fragment of the Megasthenes (IV-III century BC) preserved in fragments can be seen in the underground mines at the foot of the mountains on the easte...

The names of the streets and squares were originally of a topographical nature, that is, they informed about: Researchers propose two names for these toponyms - urban or plateonimy. S.
