Western Civilization Blog 2

  Today in Western Civilization we did things about Ancient Greece. First we read he book for about 20mins and took notes while we were doing the. From the book I learned that Classical Greece is from 2000B.C.- 300B.C.. The root of Greek culture are based on interaction of Mycenaean, Minoan, and Dorian cultures.Greece was not a united country at first. By 3000B.C.,the Minoahs who lived there created a civilization there which had great power in Mediterranean world.
  And from the Power Point, I learned that Greece is located on bodies water. The key rivers of the world are Mesopotamia/Tigris and Euphrates Rivers  Egypt/ Nile River  India/Indus River China/ Huang He River. Greece is in the middle of the seas so it's easy to trade. Mediterranean Sea=" Middle- Land Sea". Topography: mountains, rocky, hard for transportation.And we need to be able to identify Agean Sea, Ionian Sea, Adriatic Sea, Peloponnesus, Athens, Spara, Crete, Asia Minor, Macedonia.

Note on Alexander the Great

Today in class we took note on four pages from the book abo ut  Alexander the great and what he did for the Macedonian empire.  His dad Phillip the second was the previous king of Macedonia. But he was killed at his sister's wedding. Then Alexander became the king. He was young but experienced and strict. He continued his dad's dream of taking over Persia.He took over Persia and many other city-states around it. But then Alexander then disappeared and no one knew where he was then the city caught on fire and the fire is still unknown today.  (My house was out of power yesterday due to the strong wind so I wasn't able to send it yesterday. Can you please don't take points off?)
