Why was Persia ultimately unsuccessful in conquering Greece?

History
1 answer:
kherson [118]4 years ago
5 0
My own answer is because they just didn't care for the small land of Greece. Greece was poor and small. Invading Greece and maintaining it would probably have cost quite a lot more than what small profit it actually had. I think Xerxes was foolishly trying to set an example of how people who offended his empire would have been treated and failed, obviously. The Persians probably even thought of the Greeks as primitive, although today we know they weren't, for religious and lifestyle points of view (It is probably quite obvious how sacrificing an animal before every single battle and river crossing and marriage and many more sounded hilarious to the Persians as Zarostrian monotheists) and so miscalculated their strength at first and then totally abandoned them by the time Aristides was finished with the Delian league and had took back most of Ionia and Byzantium was returned to the Greeks. 
No Persian ever thought the mistrusting Greeks would ever be united and strong enough of a military unit to be able to pose a threat to their nation. apparently though, according to Diodorus Sicculus, the Persians were interested in the lands of Sicily, because Xerxes had thought it appropriate to send a massive invasion toward the people of Syracuse at the same time that he was campaigning in Greece, the invasion being arranged and managed by the Carthaginians who were by now an ally of the Persian empire.
Note also that after the king's peace was brought about, the Persians never broke their pact, although they interfered greatly in the Peloponessian war and dictated outcomes for specific battles, or supplied Sparta with enough gold so the Spartans could greatly upgrade the size of their fleet and to be able to match or at least contest the strength of the Athenian fleet with the help of their league members.
<span>Conclusively, I suggest the Persians failed to take Greece because they did not wish to conquer it. The land was poor and rough, unsuitable for farming. It was far from the capitals and hard to control, should something happen in Greece it would take at least two to four days for a Chapar to reach the king in Susa or Persepolis. Furthermore, the people of the land were easy to revolt and demanding democracy and this was not to the liking of the monarchic Persian empire, although they allowed the Ionians to have their own popular governments, the Ionians were easier to control than the Hellenes in Greece. Thus the Greeks were best left to themselves.</span>

How was gold first discovered in the transcontinental railroad?
Soloha48 [4]
I think your question means how did the discovery of gold contribute to the creation of the transcontinental railroad.  There had been some movements toward westward settlement in the 1840s, but that trend accelerated dramatically with the discovery of gold in California.  James Marshall's finding of gold at Sutter's Mill in California in 1848 led to a "gold rush" in the decade that followed, with 1849 seeing a huge influx of people to California.  (Thus we refer to the '49ers.)  The swift settlement of California added incentive to build a transcontinental railway.  The Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 established the charter for doing that.  The First Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869.

The platt amendment effectively made cuba into an ______
NARA [144]

Answer:

American Protectorate

Explanation:

Many similitude between a protectorate and living  person in your folks' home. Nation and yourself reside in a reliance to  more dominant element.  The decision country controls the international strategy of the protectorate, while your folks control how late you can remain out on a night. Furthermore, the decision country has  authority over the undertaking of  protectorate, while your folks set Instructions for you.

We can characterize a protectorate as a region or country constrained by another, all the more dominant state. Despite the fact  the protectorate is a dominant element , with almost no influence over its relations with different countries. . Nonetheless, every protectorate is exceptional created by specific  conditions.

The first  protectorate of the United States was Cuba, which construct under our governmental umbrella during the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1898, the U.S. defeated Spain in a conflict called the Spanish-American War. As a result of this victory, the U.S. came to control Spain's former colony, Cuba.

So the platt amendment  made cube into an American Protectorate in 1898.
