Following WW2, Germany was dissolved into two halves: East and West Germany, the Eastern portion was held by the USSR (Russia), while the Western portion was controlled by France, the US, and the UK. This began the Cold War, where nuclear and political tension took place between the opposing sides. While its Western counterpart was Capitalist and Democratic, East Germany was Communist. Hope this helps!
The Battle of Thermopylae is probably one of the most famous battles during the Greco-Persian Wars.
Although the Greeks lost, they had guarded the Thermopylae Gorge for three days, albeit numerically overpowered.
Explanation:
- The battle took place on August 10, 480 BC, and it was a clash between the Persian army under the command of Xerxes I and an alliance of Greek policies led by the Spartan king Leonidas.
- About seven thousand Greeks under Leonidas command blocked the narrow Thermopylae gorge in central Greece, which was the only route the Persian army could make.
- According to ancient sources, the Xerxes army numbered several million soldiers, but according to modern calculations, there were between one hundred and three hundred thousand.
- The battle itself lasted three days, and a full two, much smaller Greek troops repelled the Persian attacks.
- On the third day, a Greek betrayed his compatriots and gave the Persians the location of a mountain road, and surrounded a part of the Persian army with the Greeks.
- Aware of the ambush, Leonidas disbanded most of the army and with 300 Spartans, 400 Tebans and 700 Thespians left to fight until the end. No one survived.

Answer: Answer and explanation #1
President Harry Truman talks about "two ways of life" in a speech to Congress in 1947.
When Truman talks about two ways of life he calls them one "free" and other "totalitarian". By this time the term totalitarianism had already become famous to classify extremely authoritarian regimes like the nazi and soviet regimes.
Thus the president can only be referring to the opposition between capitalist and communist economic systems represented by the US and Soviet Union.
To answer if you agree with President Truman's argument you should ask yourself a few questions: was the US back then a regime that really followed the will of the majority? how was the US back then? how was the USSR? how did political persecution work there? was it really impossible to both systems to exist in the world? In short, you must check Truman's arguments to see if you agree or disagree with them.
Answer and explanation #2
Most historians agree that this speech was a declaration of the Cold War. It was given when the US saw that the USSR could amplify its influence on Western Europe and Africa: Truman spoke to Congress to get approval to financially aid Turkey and Greece regimes against leftist groups supported by the USSR.
So we see in this speech the entire framing of the Cold War: a war that was not fought directly but rather by securing influence zones. This speech was the beginning of the Truman Doctrine: it started the Containment Policy which compromised to stop the spreading of communism to other areas of the world other than the USSR.
What Truman started in this speech was the modus operandi of the Cold War until its end in the late 20th century.
