What was the result of the phalanx attack followed by cavalry charge at Gaugamela?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The end of the Peloponnesian War did not bring the promised “…beginning of freedom for all of Greece.”[1] Instead, Sparta provoked a series of wars which rearranged the system of alliances which had helped them win the long war against Athens. A peace conference between Sparta and Thebes in 371 ended badly and the Spartans promptly marched upon Thebes with an army of nine thousand hoplites and one thousand cavalry. Opposing them were six thousand Theban and allied hoplites and one thousand cavalry.[2]

Over generations, the Thebans had been increasing the depth of their phalanx, generally given pride of place on the right wing of coalition armies, from the traditional eight men, to sixteen, then twenty-five and even thirty-five ranks. As the Spartan and Theban armies maneuvered toward the plain of Leuctra, the brilliant Theban general Epaminondas devised a new tactic which would use the deep phalanx to destroy the myth of Spartan superiority.

Over the generations, the citizens of Thebes had developed a reputation as tough, unyielding fighters. Epaminondas had witnessed the power of the deep Theban phalanx at previous battles, and increased the depth of the phalanx to fifty ranks, but only eighty files wide. But Epaminondas’ true innovation was to position the deep Theban column not on the right, where it would have clashed with the Spartan’s weaker allies, but on the left, where it would attack the main phalanx of the Spartan “Peers” led by King Cleombrotus, arranged only twelve ranks deep. In other words, Epaminondas was concentrating his fighting power at the critical point in the evenly-spaced, less concentrated Spartan phalanx. Finally, he arranged the Theban’s allies on his right would advance “in echelon”, each poleis’ phalanx staying slightly to the rear of that to its left, so that the allied right would protect the Theban’s flank, but not initially engage with the enemy (see Leuctra map – ‘Initial Situation’). When asked why he positioned the Theban phalanx opposite the Spartan king, Epaminondas stated he would “crush…the head of the serpent”.[3]

PLS HELP PLEASEEEEEE How and why was the concept of private property developed?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Private property refers to a kind of system that allocates particular objects like pieces of land to particular individuals to use and manage as they please, to the exclusion of others and to the exclusion of any detailed control by society. In legal terms it's usually a designation for the ownership of property by non-governmental legal entities. Private property is distinguishable from public property, which is owned by a state entity; and from collective (or cooperative) property, which is owned by a group of non-governmental entities Certain political philosophies like socialism and anarchism make a clear distinction between private and personal property while others blend the two together. Private property is a legal concept defined and enforced by a country's political system

Have a discussion with someone who remembers the "Cold War" (grandparent, parent, teacher, friend, coworker, etc) and briefly wr
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The term "cold war", which was applied to the conflict that arose between the then two super powers: the United States and the USSR, may have some times been a little misgiving. When talking to people who were at a reasonable age to understand what was going on at the time, like a grandparent, usually they will let you know that those times felt anything but cold.

The Cold War, we must remember, was the period that stood between the end of the Second World War, 1945, and the 1980´s, until the very fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the USSR. In those many years, says my grandfather, the conflict did not feel "cold"; if anything, it felt hotter than hot and the world at large held its breath for the initation of the first war of the nuclear age.

Aside from that, witnesses from those times say that the atmosphere of suspicion, of persecution, of injustice towards people who thought away from the mainstream, was terrible, and there was a lot of fear for being identified as communist, because anyone thought differently.

Probably one of the most terrible situations during this Cold War for people of that time, was the confrontation that almost took place between the U.S and the USSR with the missile crisis. And that´s without mentioning the fact of Vietnam, which became a total disaster for the U.S.

This is in general what people who experienced the Cold War say to those who ask.
