The Hellenistic Period (or Hellenism) was a time in history between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC when the Greeks came under the rule of the Macedonian Empire.

Greek influence was so great that, after the fall of the Empire, Hellenistic culture continued to predominate in all territories previously dominated by them.

Between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, the Hellenistic kingdoms were gradually conquered by the Romans.

The <u>expansionist movement</u> promoted by Alexander was responsible for the spread of Greek culture in the East, founding cities (several times named after Alexandria) that became true centers for the spread of Greek culture in the East.

Greek elements ended up merging with local cultures. This process was called Hellenism and Greek culture mixed with Eastern elements gave rise to Hellenistic Culture, in a reference to the name as the Greeks called themselves - Hellenes.

In the <u>Mathematics</u> of Hellenism, Euclid and Archimedes stood out, who developed Geometry. Euclides used Geometry in his Physics studies. Physics (mechanics) also deserved special attention from Archimedes, making it possible to invent new weapons for attack and defense.

In <u>Astronomy</u>, Aristarchus and Hipparchus stood out in an attempt to measure the diameter of the Earth and the distances from our planet to the Sun and the Moon. Aristarchus launched the heliocentric hypothesis, that is, that the earth and planets revolved around the Sun , which was not accepted at the time.

What did President Roosevelt believe the government’s job was?
Gennadij [26K]

In trying to make sense of FDR's domestic policies, historians and political scientists have referred to a "First New Deal," which lasted from 1933 to 1935, and a "Second New Deal," which stretched from 1935 to 1938. (Some scholars believe that a "Third New Deal" began in 1937 but never took root; the descriptor, likewise, has never gained significant currency.) These terms, it should be remembered, are the creations of scholars trying to impose order and organization on the Roosevelt administration's often chaotic, confusing, and contradictory attempts to combat the depression; Roosevelt himself never used them. The idea of a "first "and "second" New Deal is useful insofar as it reflects important shifts in the Roosevelt administration's approach to the nation's economic and social woes. But the boundaries between the first and second New Deals should be viewed as porous rather than concrete. In other words, significant continuities existed between the first and second New Deals that should not be overlooked.

How do you view this decision's impact on election reform and free speech? Write a paragraph of at least five sentences explaini
Inessa [10]

Answer: or  this question , I believe this decision is a step in the right direction because the First Amendment is a very important part to our Constitution and how our government is shaped. America is built on the idea of a democracy and that the people rule and have more say. The First Amendment plays a huge part in allowing that right to remain with the citizens. It is especially important around elections because during elections the people are choosing who will represent them in government and help influence the other branches to make specific changes. Allowing political expression increases the people’s confidence in the government
