History

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.

Neko [114]

Answer:

If the demand is very high

AND

supply matches the demand OR the supply doesn't match the demand, the higher demand leads to a higher equilibrium price.

Explanation.

It depends on the law of supply and demand. If the supply matches the demand OR the supply doesn't match the demand, the higher demand leads to a higher equilibrium price. But when the demand is less but supply is excess, the prices drop.

Why was West Germany accepted into NATO in 1955?
Alexus [3.1K]
The entrance of West Germany into NATO was the final step in integrating that nation into the defense system of Western Europe. It was also the final nail in the coffin as far as any possibility of a reunited Germany in the near future. For the next 35 years, East and West Germany came to symbolize the animosities of the Cold War. In 1990, Germany was finally reunified; the new German state remained a member of NATO.
