I found this on this site hope it helps

When Napoleon needed money, he sold Jefferson the Louisiana Purchase, which he had acquired when he conquered Spain. To find out what he'd just purchased, Jefferson sent Merriweather Lewis and William Clark to explore it. It covered an area from Louisiana northward to Missouri and across the biggest part of the Great Plains and Northwest. The team which went with them included such diverse people as Sacajawea, a Shoshone Indian and her baby Lewis's slave, French trappers, woodsmen, and other interpreters. Lewis concentrated on cataloging what they found, such as the various Native American tribes, animals, and plants, and mapping the region, while Clark was the woodsman who led the expedition. They went through many hardships, though miraculously only one member of the expedition died over the several years they were gone. At one point they were starving in the Rocky Mountains--there was not enough fat on the deer they shot to keep them alive. They found an Indian tribe to barter with, but the chief refused to deal with them until Sacajawea walked in--she was his sister, who had been kidnapped from the tribe at the age of 5! Needless to say, they got their food. They made it to the Pacific Ocean, where they then split into two groups, one of which took a more southerly route back.

How did Europeans contribute to Greece's struggle for independence from the Ottoman Empire?
Advocard [28]

<span>The European countries like Great Britain, France and Russia helped Greece gain its independence from the Ottoman Empire. These countries formed an alliance in response to the Greeks’ appeal for mediation and had sent fleets and army troops to fight off attacks from Turks allies. Great Britain had cut off Turks provisions in certain areas. These powerful countries had concluded the protocols on February 3, 1830 and created an independent Greek state under their protection. </span>

Spartan soldiers helped save retreating members of the Greek army at the Battle of Marathon. at the Battle of Thermopylae. again
bixtya [17]
I'm somewhat confused at this question, but will give my best to answer it. 

Spartan soldiers helped save retreating members of the Greek army:

against a force of three hundred Persian troops - this surely is false, as there never was a three hundred strong Persian force.

against the strength of the Athenian navy - this doesn't make much sense either, as the Athenian navy was Greek, so there's no reason for Spartan soldiers to defend greeks against the Athenian navy.

at the Battle of Marathon - the Spartans were not involved in this battle as they were celebrating a religious festival at the time.

The most likely answer is therefore at the Battle of Thermopylae, where a small Spartan contingent of soldiers stayed to defend the frontiers of their borders in order to enable the rest of the army that was with them at the time, to retreat.
