No - Athens was fighting for its empire. It had formed this empire from its allies for its own benefit. Athens then tried to dominate other Greek cities, which brought it into conflict with the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. The ensuing war had nothing to do with democracy, it was about Athens' desire to rule 180 other cities as an empire - no democracy there.
Washington had Paine's stirring words read to his troops to inspire them to continue the fight for independence. The American soldiers terms fighting were almost up and Washington wanted them to have a reason to stay in the Army. Over all it was to gain the hope of the soldiers, even when Washington didn't have much.
To remind the troops what they're fighting for.
Because Pericles thought Athens was better than all the other city states in Greece. he helped found many school and he even founded his own school.
I think he said this to remind Americans to keep fighting for what is theirs.
He reminds them that the Prince has forbidden street-fighting.
it was important to ancient Greeks because slaves did most of their work -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Sparta, Slaves known as Helots (which accounted for appx. 90% of the population) maintained the state while the Spartans would train for war. Also, the Helots served as a source of fear to motivate the Spartans to train so that the slaves would not rebel. An interesting side note, about once every year, the Spartans would massacre Helots to remind them of their place.
it was very peaceful and no one was fighting that's why there's a VE day to remind us of the celbration of Britian.
