Greece

King Philip II but he didn't want to "conquer" Greece, in the sense that this question implies. Philip II united the Greek city-states under his hegemony so that he could lead a campaign to conquer Persia. Whenever a Greek state became supreme, that supremacy entailed the depression of some states and the dependency or subjection of others. As the eminent historian, J.B. Bury writes, "Athens was reduced to a secondary place by Macedon, and Thebes fared still worse; As the hegemony or first place among Greek states had passed successively from Athens to Sparta, and to Thebes, so now it passed to Macedon". After Philip II's assassination, his famous son Alexander the Great would go on to conquer the Persian empire all the way to India.

I assume your talking about the musical "Grease" with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John, right? It's made up of 50's/60's music, lots of dancing, and anything you could think of when a musical comes to mind

Greece is a republic, they deposed their king. He's still alive though, along with his queen. They're King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie, and they live in London.

Ancient Greek people would eat foods such as bread, olives, berries, fruit and for festivals various kinds of meat (chicken, lamb, mutton etc.).

The US invited Turkey and Greece to join Nato alliance, where they remain to this day.

Yes, Greece is an original member of the United Nations and was admitted on October 25, 1945

No, there is no evidence that Joseph, the father of Jesus, had any relation to Greek religion. By all historical accounts, Joseph was a Jew, as was Mary, the mother of Jesus. (And even if you believe, as Christians do, that Joseph was more like a stepfather, since the actual father of Jesus was God Himself, there is still no evidence that the God of the Jews was also involved with Greek mythology.) That said, yes, there are stories in Greek mythology about miracle births, gods who have a son, dying and rising gods, etc. However, Jesus is not part of ancient Greek religious beliefs.

Because the Nile River gave them a water source. Also the desert provided protection because their enemies couldn't survive the journey through the desert without water and the Nile was the only water source by Egypt.


Hope this was helpful! I had to use this for a homework assignment.

Sukhbaataryn Batbold is the Prime Minister. The president is Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj.

The official religion of Greece is The Church of Greece which is the same as Greek Orthodox. Other religions are present, but they are small in comparison.

________________________________________________________________

Greek Orthodoxy is the state religion. There are other churches, even synagogues, but over 90% of Greek citizens identify with the Greek Orthodox faith (even though only a small minority actually attend church services).

Depends.

The first option is naturalization if the non-EU national has no EU ancestry/descent/origin.

- Have a clean criminal record

- Be over 18 years of age

- Be married a minimum of 3 years

- Speak Greek fluently

- Live in Greece for 3-7 years

It takes years for these applications to be examined and processed. You can read all about it here, in which the process is detailed from beginning to end: "Greek citizenship by naturalization"

The second option is to claim citizenship through an ancestor born in an EU country, if applicable.

- Often no language requirement

- Often no fee

- Often no residency requirements, in fact one can apply outside the country at a consulate or embassy

- Doesn't matter who you are married to

The greatest part of ancient Greece consisted of wild mountains and dense forests, with little space for agriculture. Overseas colonies offered for many Greeks much better living and farming conditions.

Greece joined the European Union (EU) in 1981.

The largest island in Greece is Crete.

Yes. Greece has signed an extradition treaty with US. The treaty was signed on November 1, 1932 at Washington. Treaty and exchange of notes were signed at Athens on May 6, 1931. Senate advice and consent to ratification was done on February 19, 1932. It was ratified by the President of the United States on March 10, 1932. It was ratified by Greece on October 13, 1932. Ratifications were exchanged at Washington on November 1, 1932. The treaty was entered into force on November 1, 1932. Hope this helps.

Yes, Greece is a part of the Schengen Area but if you intend to travel through Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey or other Balkan countries (as opposed to a flight or ferry from Italy or other Schengen countries) then you may need a visa for those countries. A Schengen Visa is a visa which allows the holder to visit any country which is part of the Schengen Agreement. Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland are the present Schengen countries (as of May 2009). Liechtenstein is expected to fully sign-up later this year. Also there are no border controls between San Marino, Vatican City and Italy or between Monaco and France. Separate visas are still needed for visits to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus and other European countries. Schengen countries are those where border controls have been abolished so there are no longer any passport checks on borders and it's often difficult to know if you've actually crossed a border. Note that there are still customs checks between Schengen countries where one is an EU member (for example, Sweden) and the other is not part of the EU (for example, Norway). All Schengen countries require people to carry some form of ID with them (whether they are a visitor or a national or resident of that country). To apply for a Schengen visa you should apply to the embassy of the first country you intend to visit. If you plan to visit Italy, France and Spain (in that order) then you only need to apply to the Italian embassy and your visa is good for France and Spain too. European Union and EEA citizens don't need any visas to travel within the EU or Schengen countries. Croatians don't need any kind of visa for travel in Italy, Slovenia or Hungary but do need a visa if they intend to go elsewhere in the EU. Americans and Canadians may need a visa for some EU countries.

My Yia Yia is Greek and we usually have lamb, baklava, mousaka, (not "Moose Ca-ca")

and all of that other delicious Greek food...:)

Greece is mostly in Europe; though some of its islands are geographically in Asia.

The four types of Greek government are:

Monarchy

A monarchy means in Greek, "ruled by one". In a monarchy the city-state was ruled by one ruler or king. The family of the king or ruler also got power.

Oligarchy

An oligarchy in Greek means "ruled by few". In an oligarchy a small group of the richest and most powerful citizens controlled decision making.

Democracy

A democracy is what we have today. It means in Greek "rule by the people". Citizens got to vote on decisions.

Tyranny

A tyranny is sort of like a monarchy. The city-state is ruled by one king. Though, that king makes harsh decisions and had all power. They take over things by force.

The Greeks adapted the Phoenician alphabet for their own communications.
