1.The persian empire was lOcated frOm Mediterranean Sea to the Indus River in Pakistan.

2.The persians attacked ancient greece because they thought that since greek was so tiny they wOuld be outnumberd but they were wrong.haha

3.tO prOtect them selves after the third Persian war by burninq wOOd and throwinq it Onto the persians ships.this caused the men to abandon ship but not many survived even the ones that did met a terrible fate.They met the SPARTANS!!!

4.I think mOney created prOblems between ancient greeks because since the athenians were guardinq the money,they cOuld have used it onthemselves,which eventually they did. they wOuldnt have wanted to share like they were supposed to.tO me it seemd like athenians were very greedy and they thought everyone shOuld be like them.

5. I think the fightinq between Sparta ans Athens
influenced all greeks in a way that they realized just hOw stronq of a civilization they really were.

P.S: yesterdays h.w is on lOOseleaf.

1)The persian empire was one of the largest and most powerfulempire.It was located from the Mediterrenean sea to the indus river in Pakastain.

2)The Persian empire turned there attention on greece because they wanted to conquer them.They wanted to attack greece because they thought they would be an easy target.They thought that greece would be an easy target because they were a small island and outnumbered.

3)After the third time the persians came to greece to conquer them they were ready to fight.The greek navys were able to toss burning wood across the ocean onto the persian ships to sink them.The reamaning survivors who made it on shore were killed by the spartans.The plan to destroy sparta was over.

4)I think that money created problems because since people didnt have that much money to survive they would fight over it.Also because the greeks needed money to trade with others.

5)Fighting made the greeks realize that since they were so powerful it would be better if they worked as a team.To conquer other lands.

1)The Persian Empire is located in present day Iran.
2)The Persaians attacked Greece because they saw them as weak and out numbered.They saw Greece as a very easy nation to conquer.Unfortunatly they underestamated they Greeks and lost to Athens Navy and to Spartas land soldiers.
3)The Greeks created the Deliah League.This League was a shared tresury to have money to quickly prepare for a war instantly.
4)Because the Greeks never got along and one day someone most likely said the Athens would use this money to attack Spata.Tensions rose high,someone went to Athens started problems and the war begon.
5)Eventually Sparta took controll of Athens and turned Athens into a copy of itself.So wars raged in Greece,something that someday could make Greece a stronger nation or destroy Greece.

1.The Persian Empire was located all the way from the Medditerranean Sea all the way to the Indus River Valley in Pakistan.
2. They attcked ancient Greece for two reasons. One reason is that they wanted more land and Greece was so small so they thought they would be easy to conquer. Another reason is because many Greeks were moving along the Mediterranean Sea and were setting up new city-states, the Persians were trying to tax the city-state so war broke out over this.
3. They would make the Delian League.
4. It created problems because if one city-state was getting rich then other city-states would get jealous and would start distrusting them.
5. The way it influenced greeks is that it ended democracy. It wasn't a good thing. Everyone would fight the Spartans but the Spartans would win. The Spartans would mostly change everything.

1. The Persian Empire was expanded from the Mediterranean Sea all the way to the Indus River in Pakistan.

2. The Persians attacked ancient Greece because the Persian Empire was huge and the Greek Empire was small. Without a doubt the Persians thought that Greece would be easily conquered. The Persians attacked the Greeks 3 times but failed. Unfortunately for the Persians the Greeks had extremely good warriors.

3. During the Third battle the Greek navy was able to toss burning wood over to the Persian ships. The Persians had to abandon the ship and those who made it to shore were greeted by the Spartan Army.

4. Money created problems between the ancient Greeks because of different options. The Spartans thought that Athens was getting rich of the treasury they kept. Spartans believed that Athens concentrated on silly things such as poetry and art instead of preparing for war. Now, Athens thought the Spartans were fierce people who only cared about drilling for wars instead of enjoying life. Money wasn’t really the cause for the fighting between Athens and Spartans but different point of views.

5. Fighting among the Greeks influenced their lifestyle whether a Spartan which was a war life or Athens who were strongly influence by poetry and art. The fighting also influenced the type of government they had like Athens was a democratic government but were never the same after Spartans gained victory over them.

The Spartans found them dishonest and they didn't trust the Athens. They thought that they should be preparing for war instead.

5. Fighting amongst themselves influenced the Greeks because all the battles fought were like practice. If another country attacked them then they would know exactly what to do. They were always prepared and strong.

M. Chemas said:

1- The Persian Empire was everything from Egypt to the Indus river.
2- This was because when the Persians took over Miletus. The ruler didn't like that. So he went to the Spartans for help. They refused, so they went for help from Athens. They promised them 20 ships. The rebellion failed but Persia was still mad at Athens for helping in the rebellion. So then Persia decided to get them back.
3- The third time it was the Athenians who were primarily involved because it was a naval attack. So when the Persian ships got too close they lit them on fire. The ones who swam to shore had the Spartans waiting for them.
4-Money could be a problem because since Greek city-states traded a lot there could have been an issue with finding equal values of currency with other countries. (Dollar/Peso but with Greek/Other.)
5-When the Greeks fought with each other it wasn't like practice, it was for real. So this prepared the city-states by knowing about war tactics that can be used and how to counter them.

Very Good!
