The riddle
I commanded those Russian armies who would have knocked out Habsburg empire out of war and would have ended the great war earlier than real life if Germans had not came ahead to save them.

My turn. An easy one for Americans, a hard one or anyone else...
I used to practice law before I became an American Politician. I am a Quaker who was raised in Yorba Linda, California. I got a tuition scholarship to Harvard and Yale but couldn't go because of lodging and food fees. Lastly, I got in trouble for receiving a dog from supporters as it was called bribery from a slush fund.
