Also known as the "Father of History". While many men are credited with "shaping" the story, one can be said to have "created" it. Herodotus developed the means by which we in the Western world can know and evaluate history and its most important moments. Born in Halicarnassus, Asia Minor, he played an important role in the revolution against tyrant Lydames. He later moved to Athens, where he began to systematically write down the history of his own time - particularly the wars between Greece and Persia - and the facts that preceded it. Although previous events had already been recorded, Herodotus is considered the "Father of History" because he was the first man to attempt an orderly and objective study of the interrelationships between historical events. Herodotus traveled to Egypt and traveled the Mediterranean, studying the cultures of these regions and recording the facts as faithfully as possible for the time. In theorizing about history, he applied the traditional Greek idea of moderation, or middle ground, that equilibrium is desirable, and excess and imbalance are the recipe for disaster. Because of this theory, the arrogant Xerxes I was inevitably doomed to defeat.
Napoleon Bonaparte was the french leader, who possessed the the territory of louisiana, and agreed to sell it to the united states in 1803.

- The Ming Empire that ruled between the "fourteenth and the seventeenth century" had come to power after defeating the Huns in the north.
- The reason that the Mings succeeded in keeping their empire away from the hands of their enemies was that they took great measures to protect the frontiers of their empire.
- One such measure was of using a tremendous amount of building material to build the "northern part" of the "Great Wall of China" to be able to defend the Mongols on the other side.
The two main cultures that influenced the renaissance were Ancient Greek and Ancient Rome.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Christianity was emerged from the Ancient Rome culture so the scholars and philosophers who believed in Ancient roman culture were aware of the Greek culture as well.
The cultures followed the intellectual path and hence declined in middle ages. The renaissance is considered to begin from the Christianity teachings and the questions raised for the philosophers and scholars so it connects back to the Rome and Greek culture.
