Well, Hello there! How's it going guys? I might have missed the last post, but I plan to make it up by creating a fun interesting post today! Hope y'all are doing well and let's dive right into this.
Chapter 3 State and Empire 9/25/17
It's roughly 500 B.C.E and 500 C.E, the second wave of civilizations started to take place in the Mediterranean world. Many civilization did not interfere with another during this time but many were not so lucky. The Persian and Greek empires were located next to each other, therefore sharing many altercations due to territory rights.
The Persian empire was one the largest empire ever know to man. Just to put into perspective, Has anyone ever watched the movie 300? If so, do you remember the Persian army that battled the 300 spartans. The Persian army was flipping huge! Anyways the Persian empire had a strong belief in kingship. Monarchs were very well respected by their people and were properly view as highest authority.
On the other hand, the Greek empire was a little different. Greece focused on the idea of political systems. Like the Persians, Greeks descended from Into-Europeans people who created their legacy of the first civilizations.
To fully grasp the difference between Persians and Greek civilizations was the idea of a political system. The idea of citizenship became know in Greek civilizations. Compared to Persian's following under the order of a monarch, things were very much different for Greeks. If you actually analyze and break down what this means, then this is truly extraordinary. This was a sign of civilizations creating governments. Maybe government is not the right word, but the idea of "citizenship was taking form. I'm not saying many people had right back then, but it was a start of sorting great!
