<span>At night the fair was lit by electricity. Who would light the fair would soon light the World. Edison and Westinghouse both put in bids to light the fair. General Electric Company (Edison’s and Morgan’s company) first bid to light the fair for $1.8 million. That bid did not go over well. The two did a second bid worth $554,000. Unbeknownst to General Electric, George Westinghouse, armed with Tesla’s new induction motor, proposed to light the fair for $399,000. Westinghouse won the contract. The effect of winning the bid would change history. Tesla's AC polyphase system would be on display for not only the US to see but the whole world. Originally, Tesla planned on using GE bulbs but Edison, still miffed, would not sell to Tesla and Westinghouse. Instead, Westinghouse came up with a more efficient double-stopper light bulb.</span>

They were ruled by an elite group whose authority was indisputable.

  1. citizens: divided between the rich and the poor
  2. metecos: foreing people who where not consider citizens, but they could pay taxes and be part of the army.
  3. slaves: men and women submitted to a master.

Athenian politics evolved to democracy

  • Sparta: it was the rival city of Athenas. It was always ready to go to war. The military education started since childhood. They were forced to take a military politic in the face of constant need to dominate peoples submitted  as a result of its territorial expansion.

The obsession with militarization was such, that newborn babies were checked to fulfill with  physical patterns of a warrior, if they were not, they were slaughtered.

It was a government by the nobles.
