Hello! I am creating this blog for one reason and one reason only, to teach you about the Battle of Thermopylae. You may be asking the following question: Why do you want to teach us about this? Well, this is a social studies project and because the topic of Sparta is really cool. Just to give you a summary of the Battle of Thermopylae, the Battle of Thermopylae was in 480 B.C.E. and was fought between 180,000 Persian Soldiers and 300 Spartans. The Battle of Thermopylae took place in Thermopylae which is a narrow coastal passage in Greece. Ok, enough spoilers.
