How did the Greek respond to the threat from Persia during the Persian war?
The city-states of southern and central mainland Greece held a conference and resolved to oppose th Persian demands for submission. They also sent envoys to the western Greek cities in Sicily and the islands soliciting support. They elected Sparta to command on land and sea, and patched over standing disputes between the cities, at least for the time being. The Spartans and Athenians sent a force of 100 ships and 10,000 warriors to the pass at Delphi to try to head off a Persian advance, but finding that thee pass could be easily outflanked by an inland route, soon abandoned it. It was obvious that the key factor was the dominant Persian fleet, which could threaten all of the southern city-states one by one, which as a consequence kept their armies at home defending their cities, and these cities could be defeated one by one. So in order to be able to concentrate their land forces against the Persian army they had to get rid of the threat of the Persian fleet. They resolved to block the Persian army at the pass of Thermopylai and so force the Persians into a sea battle to turn the position, and the sea battle would be in a narrow passage at Artemesion wher the larger and more numerous Persian ships could be matched. The sea battle faied and the blocking force was withdrawn from the pass, so they made a second attempt in the similarly narrow waters at Salamis, which suceeded. The depleted Persian fleet was withdrawn to Asia and half the Persian army was sent home as there was not enough food in Greece to support it during the winter now that the Persian fleet could no lomger protect the resupply ships from Asia. This evened things up. With the threat to their cities gone, the Greek cities sent their armies to join up in the spring and defeat the remaining Persian force and its Greek allies at Plataia. Of course, after they had defeated the Persians who went home, the cities went back to fighting each other.
How was the Republican political themes in the 1920s a success?
'theme's' is an interesting concept during the 1920s both the democrats and the republicans tried to repesent themselves as pro-business, the belief of rugged individualism and lassiez faire, both had conservative and liberial wings and both were generally opposed to granting black civil rights. The democrats were on the whole more likely to support tarrifs but the main difference was in foreign policy and prohibition. In the 1920 election, Warren Harding represented a change away from the largely unsuccesful reforms of Roosevalt and Wilson's foreign policies. Many argue that the 1920 presidential election was the end of the progressive era. Wilson had been pushing for entry to the league of nations, something that seemed to conflict with middle America patriotism. The United States had fought a war of independence against Britain, a war against slavery in the south and imperailism in world war one. The United States did not want to be subject to a foregin power(s) again. Harding's 'return to normalcy' struck a bell into the hearts of ordinary American's who saw Harding as representing small town America(the majority of the population still lived in rural areas and small towns in the 1920s). Scandal soon broke out in late 1921 over the corruption of the Harding adminstration and to spite economic recovery the Republicans suffered a large defeat loosing much of their majority. To spite Harding's popularity his death in 1923 allowed Republicans to blame the scandal on him and lead to his Vice president, Calvin Coolige to victory. The 1924 election is an interesting one because of the conflict in the democratic party. The party was in a real sense a coalition of two party's first a regional southern party and second a big city pro-immigrant liberal party. The party's sharp division can be seen in the fact that it took over 103 ballots before a candiate could be nominated and the faied denoncement of the KKK. The democrats had another problem, senator Robert M. LaFollette had split from the republicans and forming a new progressive party. The new party meant many liberal democrats ended up supporting LaFollette especially after the conservative, John W Davis received nomination. Coolidge won by a landslide victory with 382 of the electoral vote. will add more soon
