Students will be able to explain how the Greeks develop their citizenship and democratic ideas.

Explanation: Review each term in the textbook (pages 131 to 137) and define each term of the social learning note.

The Persians are a group of nomads warriors. They were once ruled by other people until Cyrus the Great united them into a powerful empire.

The Greeks continued to establish colonies throughout the region. They often conflict with the Persians. The Persians occupied Greek territories of Asia Minor. The Athenian army helped the Greeks resist the Persians. King Persian king Darius saw the Greeks from the mainland (the largest island in Greece) posing a threat to his empire. Darius decided to stop the interference by the Greeks

The Persians were tired of waiting for the Athenians to attack and decided to run around Athens.

Darius's son Zelks vowed to retaliate against Athens' marathon participation. He began a new invasion to Greece with 180,000 soldiers, thousands of warship ships and supply vessels. The Greeks decided to join forces to fight the Persian threat. Sparta sent King King Leonidas to lead the most soldiers. Athens offers the navy. General Athens' Themistocles proposed a plan to attack the Persian ships and reduce large-scale military supplies

When a traitor showed the way to the Greek forces, King Leonidas drove away most of the troops and kept the Persians closed with hundreds of Spartans.

The Battle of Platja in 479 BC unified the Greek forces and ended the Greek invasion of Persia. The reunification of the city state of Greece did not last long.

What do you think the Persian War will have on the relationship with Sparta, Athens and other urban states?

It includes many different city states; two of the city states are Sparta and Athens. The values ​​of Sparta and Athene range from politics to society. Sparta is focusing on military, discipline and a strong country. Athens is peaceful democracy and women are open to culture and democracy. How is the state of these two cities different? Sparta and Athens are formed in two different ways. Sparta was originally the four small villages of South Peloponnese.

Sparta - One of the other big enemies of Athens is the city state of Sparta. Sparta is located on the Peloponnese of the lower peninsula of Greece and governs the politics and culture of the Peloponnese, because Athens ruled the Attic. However, there are many similarities here. Most of the history of Sparta is wrapped in legends. However, when Dorian, which circumvented Athens, invaded from the north, we knew that they hit the Peloponnesos peninsula in large quantities. Dorians mix with Spartans rather than wiping them

This is a collision between Sparta and Athens. These conflicts continued from 431 BC until 404 BC. This is a war about how to deal with allies between Athens and Sparta. According to Baan (123), the Peloponnese war was between rival Athens and Sparta. This is a war caused by a few internal conflicts, spurred by the interests of third-party cities. When Sparta gave Athens the last pass, there was a fierce controversy between them.

What happened between Athens and Sparta was the great Peloponnese War (432 - 404 BC). In the regime of Greece, I feel that Athens and Sparta are threatening each other and rely on clearly defined alliances to ensure safety. Corcyra, a friend of Athens, has argued with Spartan's ally Corinth. It is very important for Athens 'military defense to keep the Collin Navy out of Collins' hands. Because Collins' wealth is applicable to every war in Sparta. Athens can not tolerate Corcyrean's failure and Sparta can not tolerate Collins' failure. Sparta and Athenian politicians tried to arbitrate the controversy, but Athens was forced to defend Corsira and Collins was able to convince Sparta and his allies to fight Athens (Kagan 1969). Polarity of power is characteristic of this era

Bipolarity and war: Capacity concentration among the great powers and role of alliance mode, 1816-1965
