He persians landed in the plains near athens. as their army greatly outnumbered that of the greeks, the greeks hoped to find aid

from nearby sparta. a long-distance runner named pheidippides was sent from athens to sparta to request help, but the spartans were not able to send more soldiers at the time. regardless, the greeks were still able to win the battle. centuries later, legend developed that a runner had been sent from the battle to athens after the greek victory. after reaching athens, the runner proclaimed, "we are victorious!" and then fell to the ground and died. this legendary story is the inspiration for the modern long-distance runs that are performed today.

Answer: C. Battle of Marathon

Explanation:

The Battle of Marathon was fought in 490BC between Athens and Persia in what became known as the first invasion of the Greek mainland by the Persians and was led by Darius The Great.

Before the battle, the Athenians sent a message to request help from Sparta but the Spartans declined involvement due to their observance of a religious festival.

Regardless, Athens and her Allies inflicted a crushing defeat on the Persians that kept them out of Greece for over a decade before Xerxes the Great invaded their shores once more.

This therefore must be the battle that the text speaks of.

<em>Which of the main reasons for secession was most important in Texas decision to secede?</em>

  • <em>One reason that was most important in Texas to secede in 1861, was that the election of Abraham Lincoln, who was a Republican, was going to affect the business of slavery. Slavery is the most important reason of all. Slavery was crucial to the Texan economy; slaves constituted an important part of the population after the annexation of Texas in 1845. In addition, Texans in favor of secession, influenced groups through party ties. People who did not work with slavery, favored the secession because of their ties to the Democratic party.     </em>

How does Chester A. Arthur's decisions influence us today?
enot [183]

Historians view the Chester Arthur presidency as an important surprise, one that no one would have expected. Put simply, he performed well in office, defying his state-based reputation as a slick machine politician. Despite his poor health, he attempted to govern competently, and he succeeded to a degree that was never acknowledged by his fellow politicians, the press, or the great mass of Americans.

Although Arthur preferred efficient partisan government service to one selected by competitive examinations, he nevertheless showed tremendous flexibility and a willingness to embrace reform. By struggling with the tariff issue (especially being willing to question the protectionist doctrines of the Republican Party) and supporting the modernization of the American Navy, Arthur stands as an important transitional figure in the reunification of the nation after the bitter turmoil of the Civil War and Reconstruction. No party hack, Arthur demonstrated how the office of President could bring out the very best in its occupants.

n200080 [17]
What you basically need to know is that the contras were right-wing and that they opposed the left-wing government.

The left-wing governments were generally not seen as desired during the cold war because they could strengthen the communists, which were competing with the US.

So the US hoped that the contras would weaken or even replace the left-wing government.
