Question:
Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas for the Kingdom of Castile and Leon in 1492. By 1580 this had unified with neighbouring kingdoms to form one Spanish kingdom. Private adventurers thereafter entered into contracts with the Spanish Crown to conquer the newly discovered lands in return for tax revenues and the power to rule. In the first decades after the discovery, the Spanish colonised the Caribbean and established a centre of operations on the island of Cuba. They heard rumours of the rich empire of the Aztecs on the mainland to the west and, in 1519, Hernan Cortes set sail with eleven ships to explore the Mexican coast. By August 1521 the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan had fallen to the Spanish. Within three years of the fall of Tenochtitlan the Spanish had conquered a large part of Mexico, extending as far south as the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The newly conquered territory became New Spain, headed by a viceroy who answered to the Spanish Crown via the Council of the Indies. Cortes despatched Pedro de Alvarado with an army to conquer the Mesoamerican kingdoms of the Guatemalan Sierra Madre and neighbouring Pacific plain; the military phase of the establishment of the Spanish colony of Guatemala lasted from 1524 to 1541. The Captaincy General of Guatemala had its capital at Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala and covered a wide territory that also included the Mexican state of Chiapas as well as El Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica. The Spanish imposed colonial rule over Yucatan between 1527 and 1546, and over Verapaz from the 16th to the 17th centuries, leaving the area between- essentially Peten and much of Belize- independent long after surrounding peoples had been subjugated.

How many years did the Spanish impose colonial rule over Yucatan?

Answer:
19

Question:
Instead of the Tony Romo vs Tom Brady match-up, Brandon Weeden started due to Romo's broken collarbone he suffered in Week 2. After the first three possessions of the game ended in punts, Amendola set the Patriots up with good field position with a 25-yard punt return to the Cowboys 45. After a 14-yard screen pass to Lewis to the 31, a 7-yard sack by Greg Hardy pushed the Patriots back to the 38, and they ultimately settled for a 49-yard field goal by Gostkowski. The Cowboys replied, driving to the Patriots 33 and Dan Bailey tied the game with a 51-yard field goal. Midway through the second quarter, the Patriots raced 55 yards in just over two minutes, scoring the first touchdown of the game on a 1-yard touchdown run by Brady, taking a 10-3 lead. The next three possessions of the game ended in punts, but with 0:53 seconds left in the half, the Patriots reached the Cowboys 39, and Gostkowski made the longest field-goal of his career, a 57-yarder, upping the lead to 13-3 at halftime. Brady was sacked five times in the first half. The Patriots increased their lead, stringing together a 9 play, 80-yard drive, scoring on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Lewis, increasing the lead to 20-3. The Cowboys countered, marching 75-yards in 15 plays to the Patriots 7, and trimmed the deficit to 20-6 on a 23-yard field goal. The Patriots struck again on their next drive, driving 80 yards in just 5 plays, scoring on a 59-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Edelman, widening the lead to 27-6. On the Cowboys next drive, after a 6-yard gain by Jason Witten to the Cowboys 43, he was stripped by Collins with Jonathan Freeny returning it to the Patriots 36. The Patriots turned the ball over on downs when Blount was tackled for no gain on 4th-and-1. The Cowboys drove to the Patriots 46 and Ryan intercepted Weeden at the Patriots 22, returning it 25 yards to the Patriots 47. The Patriots reached the Cowboys 16 and Gostkowski increased the lead to 30-6 on a 34-yard field goal. The Cowboys drove all the way to the Patriots 6, but turned the ball over on downs again. Once again Garoppolo took two knees and the game was over.

How many yards was Bailey's longest field goal?

Answer:
51

Question:
The governor's campaign continued into May, when a second round of reinforcements arrived. The rebellion was extended to the Oecussi enclave, but without any coordination with the rebellion elsewhere. During the second phase of his offensive, da Camara divided his reinforced army into four columns. His own column set out from Maubisse and comprised twenty Europeans, two hundred Africans and five hundred moradores. Including the arraias of allied chieftains, it contained over 4,000 troops. It also had a modern Krupp 75 mm field gun. The second column, comprising an Indian company with a Nordenfelt mitrailleuse and several hundred moradores, marched from Soibada; the third, with two Europeans, seventy Africans and two hundred moradores armed with another Nordenfelt, from Suru; and the fourth, a flying column with one hundred moradores, from the Dutch border. By the time of the final assault, da Camara's force, the largest foreign army ever assembled at the time in Timor, contained 8,000 irregulars, 647second-line troops, 500 first-line troops and 34 officers. Something of the weakness of the native opposition can be gleaned from the record of what weaponry the Portuguese captured: 36 rifles and 590 flintlocks with a few cartridges, plus 495 swords. In general, the native Timorese possessed more spears than guns and were usually short of powder. They avoided close combat, where they were the discrepancy in guns was acutely felt, in favour of hit-and-run guerrilla tactics.

How many more second-line troops than first-line troops did da Camara's force have?

Answer:
147
