Today in class we really started the introduction into the next chapter. we talked about how the greeks kept advancing even after their war with sparta. The Macedonians seem like pretty cool guys, adapting other cultures and stuff. We also started talkin about the great Alexander the Great. its kind of awesome that he was became such a great leader at such a young age and about home much he expanded. its such a shame he died so early.

Today in class we had to take our chapter 4 test. I found it quite easy. After the test we were to read LO-1 of the next chapter and then write about it in our blogs - so here i go.
The Hellenistic era was when the Greeks were in control of much of the Mediterranean and southwestern Asia. The term Hellenistic comes from a Greek word meaning "to behave like a Greek". Its the way Alexander ruled by allowing the cultures to mix under greek rule. The period of greek history between the death of the Macedonian king and the rule of Alexander the Great (a Macedonian).
The Peloponnese war was the climax battle between Sparta and Athens. Athens was taxing other city-states even after the persian war and that ticked people off. Those people told sparta to take Athens out and so they did. Athens was already in a naval war with Corinth, a Spartan ally and also Athens was kind of unlucky. In 430 B.C. a plague struck Athens killing thousands, including Pericles. even though they recovered, the leadership was terrible. In 413 B.C. Athens lost 2/3 of its fleet against Syracuse. With the help of persia, another ally, sparta built up a naval fleet to take out athen's now small fleet. They crushed them in 405 B.C. and athens was starved into surrender.
