Explanation: HIV/AIDS has shaken the already weak economic and social infrastructures of many developing countries. While the majority of infections occur in young adults, children have been affected in numerous ways. Almost three million children younger than 15 years of age are estimated to be HIV-positive, with the vast majority of infections occurring in developing nations (1). As home to 10% of the world’s population but 70% of HIV infections, Sub-Saharan Africa carries the largest disease burden (2). Thirteen million children younger than 15 years of age have lost one or both parents to AIDS, with the number expected to rise to 25 million by 2010 (1). In several African countries, 15% of children are expected to be orphaned by the end of this decade (1).

The invasion was a direct, if delayed, response to the defeat of the first Persian invasion of Greece (492–490 BC) at the Battle of Marathon, which ended Darius I's attempts to subjugate Greece. After Darius's death, his son Xerxes spent several years planning for the second invasion, mustering an enormous army and navy. The Athenians and Spartans led the Greek resistance. About a tenth of the Greek city-states joined the 'Allied' effort; most remained neutral or submitted to Xerxes.
