Extractions: General Requirement in World History and Diplomatic History Arthur Waldron Topic: This course is about the application of thought, as opposed to brute force, to the waging of war. This process we call "strategy"-"what military commanders do"from the Greek word for "general." It has no prerequisites and presumes no knowledge, and looks at the subject across cultures and time, through readings from the great strategists, Eastern and Western, and careful analysis of some important wars, both ancient and modern. History 159, its companion course, with which there is no overlap or duplication, looks at war as well, but from the standpoint of technological and social issues. Meetings: We will normally meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays for lecture, 10301200. Requirements: In-class mid-term; eight page typed paper on assigned material; take-home final examination. Course Personnel: I have regular office hours, Thursdays 1400-1600 (please sign up). I also encourage use of email: awaldron2@aol.com

Extractions: Thucydides is one of the great historians of antiquity. He offers a first hand account of the terrible Peloponnesian war that plagued Greece for over thirty-years. Not only does he discuss the war between Athens and Sparta, but also he gives a very informative description of Greek life and history leading up to the war. Thucydides discusses the early war with the Persians and the subsequent power-vacuum left in Greece following the conclusion of the conflict. He discusses the merits of both the Athenian League and their Spartan counter parts, thus remaining objective even though having served as an Athenian general. His knowledge of battles is profound, but more interesting is his discussion on the politics of Greece at the time.

Thucydides' History Of The Peloponnesian War Essay
TOPIC Thucydides' history of the peloponnesian war. 1. What causedthe war? 2. Was the war inevitable? Could it have been stopped?
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/1777/papers/gthuycd.html

Extractions: Original Publication date: January 28, 1998. Hello there friends, here a short think piece, I, JONATHAN wrote on Thucydides and the Peloponesian War. It was for GFIR 2, 2nd semester, 1st year, at UVA. The war was caused by the premonition implanted in the minds of the Athenians that to allow any country to go free is a sign of their weakness. In Pericles' speech he stresses the fact that by giving in to the demands of any other country, Athens will make itself open to being "confronted with some greater demand, since they will think that you only gave way on this point through fear." Pericles further troubles the situation by agitating Athenian public opinion by delivering a nationalistic interpretation of the war. The Spartan king, although more cautious, delivers the same type of oration to arouse the sentiments of his people. Thucydides alludes that: "What made war inevitable was the growth of Athenian power and the fear which this caused in Sparta." However, this is not a predetermined incident. War was initiated because both sides wanted to go to war. If Sparta would have concentrated only on its provincial national interests, Athenian growth would have had no effect on its whatsoever. Sparta had maintained an adequate defense of its homeland and only had to worry about Athens taking over small colonies. Furthermore, if Athens had maintained a more open line of communication between their two countries they would not have misinterpreted each other's actions.

Extractions: Pronunciation Key Peloponnesian War B.C. , decisive struggle in ancient Greece between Athens and Sparta. It ruined Athens. The rivalry between Athens' maritime domain and Sparta's land empire was of long standing. Athens under Pericles (from 445 B.C. ) had become a bastion of Greek democracy, with a foreign policy of regularly intervening to help local democrats. The Spartans, however, favored oligarchies like their own. Cleon The Spartan leader Brasidas now brilliantly surprised Athens with a campaign in NE Greece, taking (424) Athenian cities, including Olynthus and Amphipolis. Fighting went on over these even after an armistice (423) and ended in a decisive Spartan victory at Amphipolis, in which Brasidas and Cleon were both killed (422). The new Athenian leader, Nicias , arranged a peace (421), but his rival Alcibiades persuaded the Athenians to invade powerful Syracuse. In the greatest expeditionary force a Greek city had ever assembled, Alcibiades and Nicias both had (415) commands, but before the attack on Syracuse had begun, Alcibiades was recalled to Athens to face a charge of sacrilege. He fled to Sparta; at his advice the Spartans set up a permanent base at Decelea in Attica and sent a military expert, Gylippus, to Syracuse. The incompetent Nicias lost his chance to surprise Syracuse, and after two years his force was wiped out (413).

http://www.publicbookshelf.com/public_html/Outline_of_Great_Books_Volume_I/thucy

Extractions: IN the second year of the war, Athens suffered from a fearful visitation of the plague, which, however, made no way in the Peloponnese. It broke out also among the reinforcements dispatched to Potidaea; and it required all the skill of Pericles to reconcile the Athenians to the continuation of the war, after seeing their territories over-run for the second time for six weeks. By dint of dwelling on the supreme importance of their decisive command of the sea, and on the vast financial resources which secured their staying power, he maintained his ascendancy until his death in the following year, though he had to submit to a fine. In the summer of the third year, the Lace-daemonians called on the Plataeans to desert the Athenian alliance. On their refusal, Plataea was besieged by the allied forces of the Peloponnesians. With splendid resolution, the Plataeans defeated the attempt of the allies to force an entry till they were able to complete and withdraw behind a second and more easily tenable line of defence, when the Peloponnesians settled down to a regular investment. The same year was marked by the brilliant operations of the Athenian admiral Phormio near Naupactus. On the other hand, a Peloponnesian squadron threatened the Piraeus, caused some temporary panic and awakened the Athenians to the necessity of maintaining a look-out, but otherwise effected little. The year is further noted for the invasion of Macedonia by the Thracian or Scythian king Sitalces, who was, however, induced to retire.

Extractions: HISTORY OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR Thucydides The Fifth Book 431 BC Chapter XVII: Sixteenth Year of the War - Melian Conference - Fate of Melos Athenians. Since the negotiations are not to go on before the people, in order that we may not be able to speak straight on without interruption, and deceive the ears of the multitude by seductive arguments which would pass without refutation (for we know that this is the meaning of our being brought before the few), what if you who sit there were to pursue a method more cautious still? Make no set speech yourselves, but take us up at whatever you do not like, and settle that before going any farther. And first tell us if this proposition of ours suits you. The Melian commissioners answered: Melians. To the fairness of quietly instructing each other as you propose there is nothing to object; but your military preparations are too far advanced to agree with what you say, as we see you are come to be judges in your own cause, and that all we can reasonably expect from this negotiation is war, if we prove to have right on our side and refuse to submit, and in the contrary case, slavery. Athenians. If you have met to reason about presentiments of the future, or for anything else than to consult for the safety of your state upon the facts that you see before you, we will give over; otherwise we will go on.
