War
Today in western civilization we talked mostly about way between the Persians and the Greeks.
The first thing that we learned about was the meaning of the words infantry and a phalanx. Infantry are the soldiers that fought on land. The phalanx was a close-rank, dense grouping of warriors armed with long spears and interlocking shields. They were also soldiers that would slowly advance toward the enemy until they broke through their ranks. The Persians against the Greeks had many perspectives before they fought. Greece, in size comparison, appears to be little and insignificant in size. The Persians had a huge army whom had an unlimited supply of resources. The Greeks had iron weapons, hoplites, and had the home field advantage. The Persians on the other hand had first archers, calvary, huge numbers, lightly armored infantry, and a professional army.
