Question: Camp Merritt was named after a Brevet Major General who was the first American Military Governor of which country?
Context: Camp Merritt, California was a U.S. military camp for American troops destined for the Philippines during the Spanish–American War.  Formerly a racetrack, the camp, named for General Wesley Merritt commanding officer of the Philippine expeditionary forces and the Eighth Corps at the time, was located between Point Lobos Avenue (Geary) and Fulton Street between First (Arguello) and Sixth in San Francisco, California. The Camp Merritt Memorial Monument is dedicated to the soldiers who passed through Camp Merritt, New Jersey on their way to fight in Europe in World War I, especially the 578 people – 15 officers, 558 enlisted men, four nurses and one civilian – who died at the camp due to the worldwide influenza epidemic of 1918, whose names are inscribed at the base of the monument.  The memorial is located at the center of the traffic circle on the borders of Cresskill and Dumont in Bergen County, New Jersey at the intersection of Madison Avenue and Knickerbocker Road (CR 505).  Camp Merritt was a major embarkation camp which processed more than a million soldiers, and the monument marks its center.  Bergen County purchased the property for the site of the monument in 1919. John Cleveland Robinson (April 10, 1817 – February 18, 1897) had a long and distinguished career in the United States Army, fighting in numerous wars and culminating his career as a Union Army brigadier general of volunteers and brevet major general of volunteers in the American Civil War.  In 1866, President Andrew Johnson nominated and the U.S. Senate confirmed Robinson's appointment to the brevet grade of major general in the regular army.  He was a recipient of the Medal of Honor for valor in action in 1864 near Spotsylvania Courthouse, Virginia, where he lost a leg.  When he retired from the U.S. Army on May 6, 1869, he was placed on the retired list as a full rank major general, USA.  After his army service, he was Lieutenant Governor of New York from 1873 to 1874 and served two terms as the president of the Grand Army of the Republic. Camp Merritt was a United States army camp established in December, 1891 at the Northern Cheyenne Agency.  It was named for Brevet Major General Wesley Merritt, and abandoned in 1899. Zhu Jin (朱瑾) (867-918) was a warlord late in the Chinese dynasty Tang Dynasty who would later be a major general of the Wu (also known as Hongnong) state during the subsequent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.  In the late Tang years, Zhu Jin, as the military governor ("Jiedushi") of Taining Circuit (泰寧, headquartered in modern Jining, Shandong) would form a power bloc with his cousin Zhu Xuan the military governor of Tianping Circuit (天平, headquartered in modern Tai'an, Shandong), but they were both eventually defeated by Zhu Quanzhong the military governor of Xuanwu Circuit (宣武, headquartered in modern Kaifeng, Henan).  Zhu Xuan was killed, and Zhu Jin fled to the domain of Yang Xingmi the military governor of Huainan Circuit (淮南, headquartered in modern Yangzhou, Jiangsu); he would thereafter serve under Yang and Yang's successors, whose domain formed the Wu state eventually.  In 918, angry at the arrogance of the Wu junior regent Xu Zhixun (the son of the regent Xu Wen), he assassinated Xu Zhixun, but Xu Wen's troops attacked him; he committed suicide when he saw that there was no escape. The Fort Walla Walla–Fort Colville Military Road was built in June 1859 to connect the Walla Walla area with its fairly easy access to the Columbia River to the mountainous area of the Huckleberry and Selkirk Mountains of current Northeast Washington and the Inland Northwest.  Brigadier General William S. Harney, commander of the Department of Oregon, opened up the district north of the Snake River to settlers in 1858 and ordered Brevet Major Pinkney Lugenbeel, 9th Infantry Regiment (United States) to establish a U.S. Army post to restrain the Indians lately hostile to the U.S. Army's Northwest Division and to protect miners who flooded into the area after first reports of gold in the area appeared in Western Washington newspapers in July 1855.  It was common practice to use existing Indian trails to develop military roads, and only make necessary improvements for the movement of artillery or supply trains.  Brevet Major Lugenbeel followed the long established Indian trail, then Hudson Bay Company brigade trail from the U.S. Fort Walla Walla area to Hudson Bay Company Fort Colvile, but had to leave the trail at current Orin-Rice Road, two miles south of Colville, where the southernmost land claims of the Hudson Bay Company fort began.  Washington Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens and the U.S. Army were ordered by the United States Department of State to honor land ownership claims by the Hudson Bay Company.  Lugenbeel's command arrived from Fort Walla Walla on June 20, 1859; Pinkney Lugenbeel was later credited with improving and building up the Military Road. Adrian Rowe Root (May 6, 1832 – June 4, 1899) was an American commission merchant, warehouse executive, newspaper editor and military officer in the Union Army during the American Civil War.  He served as colonel of the 94th New York Volunteer Infantry and commanded a brigade at the Battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, a parole camp at Annapolis, Maryland, in 1864–1865 and a brigade from May 13, 1865, to June 23, 1865.  He was appointed brevet brigadier general of volunteers at the end of the war and was confirmed brevet major general of volunteers on March 12, 1866. Wesley Merritt (June 10, 1836—December 3, 1910) served in the cavalry of the United States Army during the American Civil War, American Indian Wars, Spanish–American War, and the Philippine–American War.  He was the first American Military Governor of the Philippines. Brigadier General and Brevet Major General Henry Goddard Thomas (April 5, 1837 – January 23, 1897) was a Union general in the American Civil War.  A native of Portland, Maine, Thomas graduated from Amherst College in 1858 and was admitted to the bar shortly thereafter.  He enlisted as a private in the 5th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment.  Promoted to captain in June 1861, Thomas was present at the First Battle of Bull Run and the Peninsula Campaign among other battles.  In February 1863, Thomas was appointed colonel of the 2nd United States Colored Infantry.  In December 1863, Thomas was appointed colonel of the 19th United States Colored Infantry.  On November 30, 1864, President Abraham Lincoln appointed Thomas a brigadier general of volunteers to rank from his appointment date.  The President nominated Thomas for the appointment on December 12, 1864 and the U.S. Senate confirmed the promotion on February 23, 1865.  Thomas was mustered out of the volunteers on January 15, 1866.  On March 29, 1867, President Andrew Johnson nominated Thomas for appointment to the grade of brevet major general of volunteers for his service during the war, to rank from March 13, 1865, and the U.S. Senate confirmed the award on April 5, 1867.  Henry Goddard Thomas died in January 23, 1897 in Oklahoma City Indian Territory (Oklahoma) and is interred at Evergreen Cemetery in Portland, Maine. Camp Merritt was a military base in Cresskill, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, that was activated for use in World War I.  It had a capacity for 38,000 transient troops and was one of three camps directly under the control of the New York Port of Embarkation.  From this camp troops marched to board ferryboats at Old Closter Dock, Alpine Landing that took them to the piers at Hoboken, New Jersey to board troop transports for Europe.  Approximately four million troops were sent to the Western Front during World War I, about one million of them passed through Camp Merritt.  Camp Merritt was decommissioned in 1919.
