Athens was located in Western Europe, specifically it is one of the cities of Greece. It was the first birth of democracy and was also the seat of education, including philosophy, artists and many scientists appeared in Athens. In this city there were many governments, but none of them did not satisfy what the Athenian people wanted, except one king named Pericles. He was the first leader to propose democracy and make Athens glorious in several ways, including the army, economy and other things. The important thing we learned about Athenian history is their surprising change in Western Europe. This means that they were super smart in architecture, artists and so many scientists appeared. When we see their architecture, they built something amazing and unique, even nowadays when people built houses they used Athens design, some of them are White House. Also we use democracy, when we go back to Athenian history, they started the first direct democracy, but the difference between current democracy and Athenian democracy is modernization. Since all countries in the world used representative democracy (a type of democracy where people choose a representative to do things as they do), we called it modern democracy, but on the other hand the Athenians used direct democracy (a type of democracy in which people vote or discuss directly). so, our base or starter was Athens. The Athenians seemed precious and precious. This means they had their own government and military system. For example, in the text we read "The Greeks of Ionia, dissatisfied with Persian rule and eager for independence, rebelled in 499 BC when faced with a...... middle of paper...they had the right to believe that they were exceptional. The Athenians left so many legacies for the new generation or for today. For example, from their democracy and architecture. This means that we used democracy, but the basis of democracy was Athens called direct democracy, that is, people voted or did something directly, but when we see the current moment we used representative democracy, that is, people choose their own representative to do what they want so we learned that democracy is the mirror of Athens. The second is their architect (Parthenon), their building is sophisticated and even for the moment they can't understand how they built it Most of the buildings in the USA they copied its design, for example the White House. This shows that their contribution is many things for the new generation..
