The Battle of Thermopylae  is probably one of the most famous battles during the Greco-Persian Wars.

Although the Greeks lost, they had guarded the Thermopylae Gorge for three days, albeit numerically overpowered.

Explanation:

  • The battle took place on August 10, 480 BC, and it was a clash between the Persian army under the command of Xerxes I and an alliance of Greek policies led by the Spartan king Leonidas.
  • About seven thousand Greeks under Leonidas command blocked the narrow Thermopylae gorge in central Greece, which was the only route the Persian army could make.
  • According to ancient sources, the Xerxes army numbered several million soldiers, but according to modern calculations, there were between one hundred and three hundred thousand.
  • The battle itself lasted three days, and a full two, much smaller Greek troops repelled the Persian attacks.
  • On the third day, a Greek betrayed his compatriots and gave the Persians the location of a mountain road, and surrounded a part of the Persian army with the Greeks.
  • Aware of the ambush, Leonidas disbanded most of the army and with 300 Spartans, 400 Tebans and 700 Thespians left to fight until the end. No one survived.

In what ways are the land of Australia and New Zealand alike, and in what ways are they different ?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

They are alike due to the historic isolation of the both of them(New Zealand and Australia) from the rest of the world which resulted in animals and organisms that are not found anywhere else to develop in these two countries. They have flora and fauna found distinctly in both regions.

They are different in that Australia is full of red dirt due to its relatively dry climate and New Zealand is full of greenery because it’s a very wet country.Australia comprises of a large mainland and the island of Tasmania to the south while New Zealand consists of two main islands separated from Australia's southeastern region by the Tasman Sea.

dlinn [17]

Gandhi took the religious principle of ahimsa which means doing no harm, common to Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism and turned it into a non-violent tool for mass action. He used it to fight not only colonial rule but social evils such as racial discrimination and untouchability as well.
