Answer:

The second Persian invasion of Greece (480–479 BC) occurred during the Greco-Persian Wars, as King Xerxes I of Persia sought to conquer all of Greece. The invasion was a direct, if delayed, response to the defeat of the first Persian invasion of Greece (492–490 BC) at the Battle of Marathon, which ended Darius I's attempts to subjugate Greece. After Darius's death, his son Xerxes spent several years planning for the second invasion, mustering an enormous army and navy. The Athenians and Spartans led the Greek resistance. About a tenth of the Greek city-states joined the 'Allied' effort; most remained neutral or submitted to Xerxes.

The invasion began in spring 480 BC, when the Persian army crossed the Hellespont and marched through Thrace and Macedon to Thessaly. The Persian advance was blocked at the pass of Thermopylae by a small Allied force under King Leonidas I of Sparta; simultaneously, the Persian fleet was blocked by an Allied fleet at the straits of Artemisium. At the famous Battle of Thermopylae, the Allied army held back the Persian army for three days, before they were outflanked by a mountain path and the Allied rearguard was trapped and annihilated. The Allied fleet had also withstood two days of Persian attacks at the Battle of Artemisium, but when news reached them of the disaster at Thermopylae, they withdrew to Salamis.

How did martin luther's view of the catholic church change in his lifetime?
Cerrena [4.2K]
Luther was devoted to the Catholic Church during his early years, growing up with a Catholic education.  His feelings of guilt over his own sins drove him to enter a monastery, following a path the church provided for devoting oneself to God.

During his years as a monk, he was trained in theology to become a faculty member at the University of Wittenberg.  The more he studied the Bible itself, the more he saw differences between biblical teaching and the policies and practices of the Catholic Church.  He began to protest against some of what he saw wrong in the church -- not wanting to break away from the church, but to correct problems.

The higher officials of the Roman Catholic Church reacted violently against Luther, excommunicating him and wanting to silence him and even put him to death.  This solidified Luther's conviction that the Catholic Church was wrong, and he became more and more antagonistic against the officialdom of the Roman Church.  He went as far as to declare the office of the pope as the Antichrist.

How did the growth of trade, commerce, and city-states create a boom in art and learning during the Renaissance?
svlad2 [7]
Basically as the banking system was in its nascent stages in Italian cities, such as Florence, there was the rise of a centralized wealthy urban class. Certain families such as the Medici rose to the fore. Their wealth dictated the frescoes and artworks in many parts of the cities in which they resided. They often competed to commission works of artists and underwrite the lives of such folk. 
<span>

As time went by these families grew to control such other worldwide operations as the Church of Rome.</span>
