The Greco-Persian wars were series of battles that lasted for around 50 years in the 5th century BC.
The Persians made multiple attempts of gaining the territory of the Greek city-states, with varying effect and outcomes.

In this wars, it is actually the Macedon Kingdom and Thrace (which had nothing to do with the Greek city-states or the Greek people, and were not Greek at all), that were the ones occupied the most by the Persians, not so much the Greek city-states, so the name of the wars can be somewhat misleading, especially because Macedon and Thrace were not willing to fight the Persians at the time, so just let them pas through.

The global warming speech you will find below discusses a topic close to the hearts of many of us. It's a topic that is likely to remain current until measures designed to protect the environment are seen to be having a positive impact. Global warming is the gradual increase of the temperature of the earth's atmosphere and oceans.
Over the past century, the average temperatures have gone up by just over one degree. This may not seem like much, but many scientists agree that the earth's temperatures are starting to increase at a faster rate.
"That so many of us are here today is a recognition that the threat from climate change is serious, it is urgent, and it is growing. Our generation's response to this challenge will be judged by history, for if we fail to meet it - boldly, swiftly, and together - we risk consigning future generations to an irreversible catastrophe."
These are the words President Obama used to begin his global warming speech before the United Nations Summit in 2009.
