"1. On September 11, 2001 terrorist attacked the World Trade Center in New York City. After the crash George Bush made a speech where he compared the war to a crusade. It was a bad idea to compare the war to the crusade, because the crusade was fighting for god to win the land they believed he was buried in, and in the war they are destroying many places and killed many people to find one man for revenge. In the original crusades the Roman Catholics and the Muslims are fighting for the land they believe god was buried in. "

fall of ancient rome
Fall of ancient Rome
"Ancient Rome had several problems contributing to its eventual downfall. The U.S also shares many of these same problems today." [Mr. Gleason] For example ancient Rome had many nomadic attacks. Like the U.S had attacks from terrorists. Also Rome hired the Mercenaries and people to fight only for money. Also the U.S also uses the Mercenaries to fight there wars. They only fought for them for money not loyalty. Rome’s value of money goes down. Which also happens in the U.S, when they need to make more money they just print more dollar bills, and the value for dollar bills go down.

How did Hellenistic culture start?
By: Carolyn Hernandez and Badr Alafif
Hellenistic Culture is a combination of cultures conquered by Phillip II and his son Alexander the Great. Phillip II conquered Greece; in his daughters wedding he was stabbed by his guard. Leaving his son Alexander the great to continue where he left off. He conquered Egypt so he can feed his people. The wheat growing from the Mediterranean contained much food. He later conquered India, and all Persian culture. He used special weapons to get through the castles. Each of his city-states had a small army. They fought and brought Egypt, Greece and Persia and created a Hellenistic culture.

Geography IN ancient Greece
Geography in ancient Greece by Badr Alafif
Ancient Greece’s geography included Mountains which separated Greece into separated city states. Greece is surrounded by the ocean. They used the Aegean Sea, the Ionian Sea, and the Black Sea for transportation. Sea travel and Trade was important for Greeks because they didn’t have enough Natural Barriers. Greece has mountains which covered 3/4th of Greece. Most of their land was stony. They had to devide ancient Greece into separate city states because the sea and the mountains made it impossible for 1 king to control.
