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.

KonstantinChe [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

The “Black Codes” of the early English colonies was formed to prevent English colonists from abusing their slaves.

Option: (A)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • These codes effectively established the idea of white supremacy into the law.

Union vs Confederacy
disa [49]

Answer:

Read the below

Explanation:

The union was industrial as they had tons of factories producing war supplies and the Confedracy was Agricultural since they used slaves to do all the work and the Union had the largest cities as they owned New York city, Philiedlphia etc, the Union had the larger army as they had the larger population, the Union had the larger Navy as they were the ones to use Iron Clads to blockade the South, they both were Americans and wanted the better for America ( as they see it ) They both wanted to isolate themselves from the rest of the world, and they both wanted to restore the Union under there control. The southern states depended on the slaves and weren't just gonna let them go just cause the unions says so, and the Union wants to preserve the union and make it slave free. Union values democracy and freedom for all, as the South values White supremacy, the purpose of the war was really to see if slavery exists in the United states of america or not.
