World History
Achilles V Hercules
Mount Olympus is the tallest mountain in Greece and one of the tallest in Europe. According to Greek Mythology, it is believed to be the home of the Gods. A paradise where the Gods gather to enjoy Ambrosia and Nectar while having perfect weather, which is said to be all the time. A kingdom above the clouds where no humans can enter or even reach. While in today’s world, Mount Olympus is a place where you can see all of Greece as the view. The top is reachable but not without a challenging climb since it is one thousand feet above sea level. It has a very vast diversity and plenty of wild animals and has been declared the first national park in Greece since 1938.

Achilles V Hercules
For many, history lessons have been avoided because they found it boring and not fun. Sometimes, that is not the case. Especially when it comes to heroes. Who doesn’t like heroes? They are the good guys who do all of these good things including beating evil to a pulp. When that happens, it’s always a good day for everybody. Heroes are one of the reasons why history is actually a fun topic. And somehow people know and remember the names of the heroes easier than the names of other characters in history. I bet a lot more people are familiar with the name Achilles or Hercules than Agamemnon or Menelaus. It’s because they are heroes that their names are known more. Or maybe even the names of the villains or the monsters. Hades, Hydra, Medussa, and so on.

Italian Military: WWII
Italy's entry into World War II began with the invasion of Greece on October 28, 1940, known as the Greco-Italian War. Mussolini sought to expand Italy's influence in the Mediterranean and establish dominance in the Balkans. It was the first military campaign of Italy in World War II, but it did not have a favorable outcome for the new members of the Axis Powers. Moreover, it overextended Italy's military power and left their territories in Africa(Libya) extremely vulnerable, "The Italo-Greek conflict was of particular importance because it diverted Italian land, air, and sea forces at a time when they were desperately needed in North Africa to parry a British attack there." (Sadkovich Pg. 440) The invasion of Greece was a boom or bust type of offensive aimed at kickstarting Mussolini's conquest in World War II. Mussolini sought to expand Italy's influence in the Mediterranean and establish dominance in the Balkans. However, the campaign quickly turned into a quagmire for Italian forces. Italian troops suffered significant setbacks, facing unexpected heavy Greek resistance, leading to a stalemate by November 1940. Mussolini's ambitions suffered a blow as Greek forces pushed back Italian invaders in the mountains of Epirus and Albania. On November 14, 1940, Greek forces launched a counter-offensive, pushing the Italians deep into Albanian territory.
