Was Francisco Franco apart of World War 1?
Francisco Franco was not a significant figure during World War I, as he was still a relatively unknown military officer at that time. The war took place from 1914 to 1918, and Franco's rise to prominence occurred later, particularly during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). He did serve in the Spanish Army during the war, but Spain remained neutral throughout the conflict, and Franco's involvement was limited to his military career rather than any direct participation in the war itself.

Did George Washington contribute anything before the Revolution?
I believe George Washington was a successful, young officer in the French and Indian War before the Revolution. One history teacher I had described George Washington as 'almost obsessed with duty' in the military and later as president. Other than that, I know he married well to wealthy Martha Washington before the Revolution. Basically, he was a soldier all his life, and then president at the end of his life. Hope this helps. Also, Washington was a military Engineer and Land Surveyor, and surveyed throughout much of the Colonies.
