Description: "Battle of Salamis-480 BC: At Salamis Bay, the Golden Age began when the Greeks expel the Persians, sinking 200 Persian ships while losing only 40 of their own. Themistocles not only was not rewarded for his victory, but was removed as Athen's leader for being too arrogant."--Container.

"The Great Wall of China-221 BC: To seal off his empire from marauders, Chin commanded the building of the Great Wall. Three hundred thousand were employed, and thousands, especially the scholars, died and were buried within the wall. Called 'the world's longest graveyard, ' it was his greatest accomplishment and his greatest tragedy."--Container.
