Then in 1982 there was a new president that was elected because of a military coup and his name was General Effrain Rios Montt. He was fully against the government system they currently had and he had annulled the 1965 constitution, dissolved the congress and had banned all political parties. This turned the government system in Guatemala to be fully under the control of the army. He also would later that year form local civilian defense groups to work alongside the military in search of the guerilla fighters. They had recovered most of the territory that the guerilla fighters had gained and gave no place for guerilla fighters to feel safe. This was a very brutal time during this war because of the army taking back the guerilla fighters territory and the many civilians they had killed who were living in the camps with the guerilla fighters (Miller,

Leon Czolgosz decided to take his hatred for politics and love for anarchy into his own hands and shot President William McKinley two times at close range, killing him a week later. America changed in that very instant; the country went from being optimistic of the new 20th century to reliving the horror and pain of the dreadful 19th all because of one man’s radical actions. Leon Czolgosz was a regular middle class worker, and he, like many others, was angered by the widening

There is not a great deal of context that is crucial to understanding the essential themes of the Meno, largely because the dialogue sits nearly at the beginning of western philosophy. Socrates and Plato are working not so much in the context of previous philosophies as in the context of the lack of them. Further, this is very probably one of Plato's earliest surviving dialogues, set in about 402 BCE (by extension, we might presume that it represents Socrates at a relatively early stage in his own thought). Nonetheless, in order to understand the aims and achievements of the dialogue, it helps to keep in mind some details about this lack of previous philosophies.
