WHY GEOMETRY AND HISTORY RELATE

GREECE

• IN THE NEXT SLIDES I WILL SHOW YOU THE SIMILARITIES IN GEOMETRY AND HISTORY.
• I THINK THAT GEOMETRY AND HISTORY SHOULD NOT BE SEPARATE CLASSES, AND BE ONE SUBJECT.
• I AM GOING TO USE GREECE AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW ITS GEOMETRY AFFECTED ITS HISTORY.

DAILY LIFE

• The Sea provided a source of food for everyone.
• People could fish, and when they caught fish, they could sell, eat, and even trade it.
• This affected history, because without this Sea, many people would not have a main source of food.
• Also, if people didn't get enough food, then the population of Greece would greatly decrease.
• The bays helped develop harbors for ships, which effected history because they used ships for war and trade.

DAILY LIFE

• The mountains prevented large-scale farming
• If the mountains were not there, Greece could have had more crops and more experience in farming.
• Also the mountains helped develop the city-states by separating them.

WAR

• Because Greece was surrounded by sea, some cities had a navy. (Athens)
• Certain cities were extremely good with boats, and used that skill when they were at war.
• Other cities like Sparta, were inland, and had a strong army.

WAR

• The mountains surrounding Greece acted as a barrier.
• This also held archers to protect their city.
• Actual campaigning was normally carried out between March and October.
• War was carried out at that time because of how dangerousness climbing the mountains would have been.

TRADE

• A lot of trading went on at Greece.
• The Greeks exported pottery, jewelry, olive oil, and wine.
• They imported grain, papyrus, timber, ivory and certain metals.

TRADE

• The Greeks traded through bodies of water.
• The main bodies of water that the traded from, were the Mediterranean and the Black Seas.
• The main people Greece traded with were the Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Persians.

WHY BOTH SHOULD BE TAUGHT TOGETHER

• Since I learned about the geography and Greece, I better understood why these events took place.
• For example, I knew that there was not a lot of farming in Greece, but I didn't know why.
• From learning the geography of Greece and knowing that it was very mountainous, I fully understood on why little farming happened.
