H.W. #1

    In the video that I saw it was about The Persian Wars. Greece had a mountainous terrain. This caused the people in Greece to be isolated from each other and form city states. They argued and sometimes fought each other. This put them at a disadvantage. Athens beat Persia in the first war but one of their cities was captured and burned to the ground. The Persians retreated but the Greeks realized that they would return with more soldiers and more power. During this time the Greek city states came together with a army 100,000 strong to defend greece. Athens manufactured the war ships that Greece used. The Greeks won by leading the Persian vessels down a small water path where the large ships had trouble moving around in the water compared to the smaller Greek vessels. So because of this the greek vessels got around easier and used their ram on the front of the ship to sink the Persians ships.
