From 700 BCE (Before Common Era) to 300 BCE, hitting its zenith in the 5th Century BCE, birthed democracy as we have come to know it. This span of 400 years witnessed the ingenuity and persistence of some of ancient history's bravest people, which in turn influenced the natural scientists and philosophers of the generations that followed them. Out of over 100 city-states of that time, the conflicts between two of them - Athens and Sparta - sparked the idea of democracy through the backdrop of the wars and plagues surrounding them. If the circumstances of this time had been altered even slightly, then the outcome would have been very different, and the idea of democracy would not have survived at this time. Find out how just one city-state out of over 100 rose up and fought for the very system that is held up as the ideal system of government throughout time until today. I always teach the class, even if there is only one learner enrolled, so please do not worry about the cancellation of my classes if you should receive an automated email from Outschool stating that the class might be canceled if enrolment is too low.
Metas de aprendizaje
Learners will study ancient history through the context of modern democracy, and they will understand how fragile the circumstances surrounding its conception really were.
