B. Democracy is a major contribution of ancient Athens to Western civilization. The ancient Greeks were well known for being a democratic nation, which has traveled all the way to modern times.

I discovered that a key moment in Roman history was a very little-discussed raid by pirates on the Port of Rome at Ostia.
Rome was at that point the dominant world superpower, and there was no state in the world that would ever have dared to attack Rome. But the Romans were attacked by a group of stateless desperados who set fire to the Port. The flames may well have been visible in Rome itself. And this sent a shockwave through Rome, because if pirates could strike that close to the imperial capital, nowhere was safe.
And in this panicky atmosphere - an atmosphere of panic, I might say, which was deliberately whipped up by ambitious politicians - the Roman people took a series of fatal steps, surrendering some of their liberties and some of their control over their government. And in doing so, they sewed the seeds of the destruction of their own democracy.
And the more I looked at that event, the more it seemed familiar to me and the parallel with 9/11 - and in particular the response to it.
the British seemed unbeatable. During the previous 100 years, the British had enjoyed triumph after triumph over nations as powerful as France and Spain. At first glance, the odds were clearly against the Americans. A closer look provides insight into how the underdogs emerged victorious.
Britain's military was the best in the world. Their soldiers were well equipped, well disciplined, well paid, and well fed. The British navy dominated the seas. Funds were much more easily raised by the Empire than by the Continental Congress
The small town of Guthrie hosts the Oklahoma celebration every year because it celebrates the birth of this town. On Aprill 22nd, 1889, Unassigned Lands in central Oklahoma were made available for non-Indians settlement and within a few hours thousands of founding citizens established Guthrie. A year later, the city was considered the capital of the Oklahoma territory and the people of Guthrie decided to commemorate such accomplishment annually.
