I am studying for my midterm in my western civilization class. In order to study, im essentially taking the test by writing out who, what, when, where,how and why the term is importent to history in a short paragraph like the test. If you could please look over what I have written and see if there is anything i have missed, just keep into account that i have 20 of these that i have to study for the test. Thank you.
Hoplite Phalanx:
The hoplite phalanx was a battlefield tactic of the Archaic Greeks, used over much of the first millenea BCE. It was a tightly ordered unit of heavily armed, pike bearing men. It was created due to closer unit formation and the spreadin concept of the family farm. Because of the family farm more men were able to afford the armour so critical to the hoplite phalanx. The hoplite phalanx reigned supreme until its defeat in the 2nd century BCE by the Romans.
