History

As the Persians sought to destroy Athens and was planning to land their ships at marathon and march to Athens. Getting word of the oncoming fleet, the Athenians called upon <span>Phidippides to run the 140 miles to Sparta to ask for aid. 
Sparta refused to fight as they religiously couldn't when the moon was full. Although they did later come to protect Athens.
</span><span>Phidippides then had to run all the way back (36 hours, mind you, to deliver the news) 
</span><span>
Even without the Spartans, Athens won the battle despite being outnumbered 1:4

the surviving Persians set sail for Athens and by the time that the tired Athenian soldiers arrived back home. The Spartans had come to their aid and defended the city.
</span>
It was basically the first instance of cooperation in the face of a military conquest against another city-state - in this case, where Athens received aid.

My favourite videos explaining this. (although history channel does tend to exaggerate, it's 1 to 4 in a ratio of Athenians to Persians)

During the past 1000 years there were at least ____ glacial periods.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Explanation:

《●●●●●■■■■■♤♤♤◇◇The Last Glacial Period (LGP) occurred from the end of the Eemian to the end of the Younger Dryas, encompassing the period c. 115,000 – c. 11,700 years ago. This most recent glacial period is part of a larger pattern of glacial and interglacial periods known as the Quaternary glaciation extending from c. 2,588,000 years ago to present.[1] The definition of the Quaternary as beginning 2.58 Ma is based on the formation of the Arctic ice cap. The Antarctic ice sheet began to form earlier, at about 34 Ma, in the mid-Cenozoic (Eocene–Oligocene extinction event). The term Late Cenozoic Ice Age is used to include this early phase.[2]●●●●●■■■■■♤♤♤♤♤◇◇◇》

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. Match the leaders to their goals at the Paris Peace Conference. President Woo
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The different leaders at the Paris Peace Conference after the first World War each had different goals based on how their countries fared in the war and their ideas for the future.

President Woodrow Wilson of the United States ⇒  lasting peace and justice

President Wilson wanted lasting peace and justice after the war which led him to propose his famous ''14 points''.

Prime Minister Orlando of Italy ⇒  territories promised earlier to his country.

Italy had already been on the side of Germany and Austria-Hungary but were tempted to the allied side by promises of land and so the Prime minister wanted that land.

Prime Minister David Lloyd George of Britain ⇒ punishment for Germany

The British did not suffer much territorial devastation during the war but did lose a lot of men. Prime minister George therefore wanted Germany punished for this.

Prime Minister Clemenceau of France ⇒ money to rebuild his country

Prime minister Clemenceau wanted to punish Germany as well but his immediate concern was to source money to rebuild France which had been devastated the most in the war as the entirety of it in the west had been fought on French soil.
