The correct answer is D, as the Athenians defeated the Persians and halted an invasion by King Darius I.

The battle of Marathon was an armed confrontation that defined the outcome of the First Medical War. It happened in the year 490 a. C. and took place in the fields and the beach of the city of Marathon, located a few kilometers from Athens, on the east coast of Attica. It faced on the one hand the Persian king Darius I, who wanted to invade and conquer Athens for his participation in the Ionian revolt, and, on the other hand, the Athenians and their allies (Platea, among others). A feat recalled in this battle by Heródoto was the one of Filípides, that crossed the way of Athens to Sparta to request aid to the Spartan army. Sparta refused to help the Athenians, claiming to be on dates of religious celebrations.

After the revolt of Ionia, Darius decided to punish the Greek city that had lent aid to his rebellious subjects. After taking Naxos and Eretria, the Persian expedition, with the advice of Hippias, who hoped to regain power in Athens, disembarked on the beach of Marathon. After five days face to face, the Athenian and Platan phalanges crushed the Persian infantrymen who fled and embarked again with heavy casualties. The Greek army quickly withdrew to Athens to prevent the landing of the other part of the Persian expeditionary corps in Falero, one of the city's ports.

This victory put an end to the First Medical War. Ten years later, a new attack took place on the orders of Xerxes I. The battle of Marathon played an important political role by affirming the Athenian democratic model and the beginning of great military careers for Athenian generals like Miltiades or Aristides the Just.

What beliefs do you think may have motivated Las Casas to take the stand that he does?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

He was relevant in defending indigenous peoples in Latin America.

The defense assumes that they are free and in their freedom enjoy the natural right.

Explanation:

    In the middle of the year 1502-1510 - Friar Bartolomeu de Las Casas leaves for America where he lands with twelve other friars. In this period, Spain is at the beginning of an empire of magnificence, as discussed above, the Arabs are being expelled by the Catholic kings.

    Arriving in the land of the natives, the friar Las Casas is enchanted by the kind reception of the Indigenous, but little by little, Bartolomeu realizes the dark side of the Spaniards subsidized only by the greed of gold and silver or other means that could generate precious goods. In the midst of the shadows of greed, however, is a young man full of vitality and with a right intention to evangelize the natives.

     The defense assumes that they are free and in their freedom enjoy natural law.

    From his point of view, Las Casas would see exceptional indigenous docility as a way of showing human possibilities and qualities, moving from the wild to the civilized way, so evangelizing in the eyes of the religious would not be a process of domination but rather a means of domination. for liberation. In other words, the interplay between two cultures or between two peoples would bring the sum of vast and ennobling experiences to both sides. Therefore, the exchange of experiences would only be possible if there was a mutual adherence of respect, dialogue and otherness that would converge on justice.
