I'll assume you mean Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address.

From that address, here are some examples of organizing ideas in groups of three:

The main example is the overall 3-part outline of ideas in the speech.

  • Idea 1 (paragraph 1):  This nation was based on the idea that all men are created equal.
  • Idea 2 (paragraph 2):  The Civil War was putting to the test whether or not a nation based on liberty and equality could endure.  Dedicating the Gettysburg National Cemetery at the site is a fitting as testimony to the importance of such a nation.
  • Idea 3 (paragraph 3):  We now must dedicate ourselves to continuing the fight for the nation, so "that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Another example of three-part statement of an idea comes in the third and final paragraph of the speech.  Lincoln said, "In a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract."  Notice how Lincoln uses three phrases to emphasize the idea that any words spoken were not the true honor of this place, but the valor of the men who gave their lives there that had already hallowed the ground at Gettysburg.

Which of these is the major cause for the fall of the Persian Empire?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

conquest of Persia by Alexander of Macedon

Explanation:

The Persian Empire, which is now centered in the modern day Iran is the name given to dynasties founded by Cyrus the Great by the year 550B.C. It was known to be one of the biggest empire in history and it spanned different centuries, covering different areas from the Balkan Pennisula to the Indus Valley in West India.

Xerxes I in 480 BC led the invasion of Greece, an attempt that failed and that led to the decline of the Persian Empire. They had limited funds to protect their lands and they taxed their subjects heavily. Alexander the Great of Macedon in 330 B.C invaded the area with his army and the empire finally fell.
