Today in class we finished the last slides of the powerpoint and reviewed everything we've done over the past few days. The last notes we took today were the following:
Persian Wars
- Persian Empire was massive compared to Greece, which was tiny
Greek Army:
- Iron Weapons
- Hoplites who have trained since they were young
- Spears, swords, and shields
- Fought in Phalanx formation
- Homefield Advantage
- Very motivated to protect democracy
Persian Army:
- First archers
- Cavalry (Soldiers on horseback)
- Lightly armed infantry
- Huge numbers
- Long way from home
- Professional Army (Hired mercenaries)
The Greeks won!!
After we finished taking notes, we went back to the beginning of the powerpoint and reviewed the information that will be on our test on Monday, 3/25/19
