Finally, a topic that I enjoy! :)
Okay, so the Delian League played a MASSIVE role in the creation of the Athenian Empire. When the Delian League was first created its purpose was to unite the various Greek City States such as Athens, and Sparta (The 2 most famous City States) into an Alliance to keep Persia in check and to keep the Greeks safe from another attack. The League was formed on the Island of Delos (Artemis and Apollos Birthplace and hence its name), and that was where the. Treasury and resources where kept until Pericles had it moved FROM Delos TO Athens to "Keep it safe from Persian Attack" This was the start of the Athenian Empire. Athens began using the resources and funds that other City-States provided for the Delian League to support their own defenses and navy instead of those of the other city states. Because of this Athens became an Empire which resulted in some of the other city-states such as Sparta to leave the League and to start a war known as the Peloponnesian War.

How would you characterize Roosevelt’s approach to the Great Depression?

disa [49]

If you mean the president’s characteristics, he was very patient because everyone and everything didn’t change for the better immediately. He was very diligent because he brought several programs like the CCC or the AAA (and many more). He also did fire side chats in order to connect with his people and make them feel better about the situation at hand.

A difference between spanish and french settlers in north america was that

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Spanish settlements in North America had one purpose only: to protect their shipments of gold and silver from competing European powers. The first successful settlement in North America, St. Augustine, Florida was built to protect Spanish fleets from attack by privateers. The statement above that the Spanish had "big cities. large farms" is patently incorrect.

It should be noted that the first successful rebellion in America; Pope's rebellion, also known as the Pueblo revolt, was the result of numerous failed promises on the part of the Spanish. Four hundred Spaniards were killed in the revolt and the Spanish lost control of New Mexico.
