Describe one battle in the Persian War in which the Athenians played a key role

tankabanditka [31]

The Greco-Persian Wars (also often called the Persian Wars) were a series of conflicts between the Achaemenid Empire of Persia and Greek city-states that started in 499 BCi[›] and lasted until 449 BC. The collision between the fractious political world of the Greeks and the enormous empire of the Persians began when Cyrus the Great conquered the Greek-inhabited region of Ionia in 547 BC. Struggling to rule the independent-minded cities of Ionia, the Persians appointed tyrants to rule each of them. This would prove to be the source of much trouble for the Greeks and Persians alike.

In 499 BC, the tyrant of Miletus, Aristagoras, embarked on an expedition to conquer the island of Naxos, with Persian support;[3] however, the expedition was a debacle and, pre-empting his dismissal, Aristagoras incited all of Hellenic Asia Minor into rebellion against the Persians. This was the beginning of the Ionian Revolt, which would last until 493 BC, progressively drawing more regions of Asia Minor into the conflict. Aristagoras secured military support from Athens and Eretria, and in 498 BC these forces helped to capture and burn the Persian regional capital of Sardis. The Persian king Darius the Great vowed to have revenge on Athens and Eretria for this act. The revolt continued, with the two sides effectively stalemated throughout 497–495 BC. In 494 BC, the Persians regrouped, and attacked the epicentre of the revolt in Miletus. At the Battle of Lade, the Ionians suffered a decisive defeat, and the rebellion collapsed, with the final members being stamped out the following year.

Seeking to secure his empire from further revolts and from the interference of the mainland Greeks, Darius embarked on a scheme to conquer Greece and to punish Athens and Eretria for the burning of Sardis. The first Persian invasion of Greece began in 492 BC, with the Persian general Mardonius successfully re-subjugating Thrace and conquering Macedon before several mishaps forced an early end to the rest of the campaign.[4] In 490 BC a second force was sent to Greece, this time across the Aegean Sea, under the command of Datis and Artaphernes. This expedition subjugated the Cyclades, before besieging, capturing and razing Eretria. However, while en route to attack Athens, the Persian force was decisively defeated by the Athenians at the Battle of Marathon, ending Persian efforts for the time being.

Darius then began to plan to completely conquer Greece, but died in 486 BC and responsibility for the conquest passed to his son Xerxes. In 480 BC, Xerxes personally led the second Persian invasion of Greece with one of the largest ancient armies ever assembled. Victory over the allied Greek states at the famous Battle of Thermopylae

Which of the answer choices is not a factor in the trend towards the feminization of agriculture in many parts of sub-saharan af

Alisiya [41]

There are several factors that go against the feminization of agriculture such as:

Gender inequality.
Lack of access to land for women.
Lack of financing.
Time constraints.

<h3>What factors are against the feminization of agriculture?</h3>

Although women in sub-Saharan Africa are increasingly going into agriculture, they still face a lot of challenges. One of them is gender inequality which limits the crops they are allowed to farm.

There is also a lack of access to land as men usually own lands in that part of the world. This contributes to a lack of financing because the women can present no collateral.

Time constraints from women having to take care of domestic duties is another hampering factor.

Does religious persecution still exist? Explain.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

In countries around the world, Christians are facing religious persecution. Millions of Christians are being judged, tortured and even killed for their love of God, making praying, reading the Bible and worshiping with fellow believers difficult to do. Every day proves to be a struggle, and for many people the scriptures are their only source of comfort and strength, making the Bible one of the most sought after resources.

In a country that cannot be named, to protect those who are currently experiencing persecution, over 50,000 people are being tortured in labour camps for their beliefs. Despite suffering both physical and emotional abuse, these believers are holding onto the promises of God and the scriptures. Five years ago, the New Testament was translated for this country, and this year, the Old Testament has been completed. For the first time in 4o years, believers in this country are able to read the entire Bible in their own dialect so that they can learn more about God and find comfort in times of trial.

On November 13th on the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, people from all over the world joined in prayer for those who are experiencing persecution. Religious persecution can take many forms, but it still aims to break beliefs and question God’s authority and existence. The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church is seeking to support believers and their struggles so that they can focus on developing a greater relationship with Christ.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness… Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me…”

It can be difficult to look at persecution as a blessing when it causes people to feel ashamed and lost. We are never alone, however, as God is with us no matter the trials that we face. We are called to be a representative of God and shed His light to the world, so when our light starts to eliminate the darkness, it shows that God’s word and presence are being revealed to others and stirring change. When we show Christ to others, we not only learn more about ourselves but about Him, which is a blessing that can be appreciated and looked forward to.

Religious persecution is affecting Christians all over the world, but with your help and prayers, we can support believers who struggle to worship God and have a greater relationship with Him. Click here to see how you can distribute Bibles to this country , sending hope and strength.

“If one member suffers, we all suffer together; if one member is honoured, all rejoice together.”

What made the Vietnam War so difficult?

attashe74 [19]

Mostly the fact that we weren't equipped to fight against North Vietnam. Their military was very well trained and equipped. If I remember correctly, we actually withdrew from the war because we couldn't fight off the Northern soldiers.

There was one incident when we were going around NV to get to SV with our navy, and NV's navy attacked our ships. I think that probably contributed because we would've had trouble getting our Navy to SV.

But the first statement was the most difficult part, from what my lessons said at least.

What caused the patterns of trade to change?

Murrr4er [49]

To determine the patterns of trade between the two countries, we need to compare their respective opportunity costs of producing the two goods. A country will have a comparative advantage in the production of a good if it has the lower opportunity cost as compared to its trading partner.
