Answer 2

I like what xian had to say with his wikipedia cut and paste. It is pretty good. Reading Herodotus you get a much better picture. The movie has its faults but the story is accurate to the historical findings.

Leonidus' soldiers were sire soldiers and did all have male heirs already. They were not necessarily the suicide squad that history paints them to be though. They were, according to Herodotus' writings, Leonidus' most trusted soldiers and his personal guard. Because of the Greek holidays that occurred at the time of the Persian Advance, the divided Greek city states felt it was more important to party and celebrate the holidays than confront the threat of the Persians. It was thought, afterall, that the Persian army will still be there and the armies of Greece will prevail no matter where they meet them. Leonidus and his 300 Spartan guard left to confront the Persians in Thermopolye (one of the most famous battles of ancient greek history). Leonidus did meet some other Greek armies upon his arrival and lay in wait for the approaching Persian Army. His 300 Soldiers with their support forces and the Spartan Navy (which was no where near as powerful as the Athenian Navy!) succeeded in holding off what is historically known as one of the largest armies in ancient history for a week by using the pass and by using some terrorist style hit and run tactics. Ultimately, the Persians were shown a pass that allowed them to get around the Spartans and thereby surround them. Xerxes, the persian King, asked if they would surrender and join him. Leonidus would never have done that as he was a Spartan to the end. So, Xerxes, after having watched his Elite guards routed by these 300 Soldiers, ordered his archers to end this stand off. Herodotus' writings from those who were there (probably Persians or those who ran away) state that the arrows of the Persian army blacked out the sun.
It is an amazing story and an amazing movie if you like history.

so yes..with the right conditions and true tactics, 300 million can defeat 2billion. But where on earth will you find armies that big? I sure hope you are not referring to the United States against the Muslim world.........That notion is ridiculous because like most American's dont' necessarily agree with the government policy, most Muslims do not hold the views of the muslim extremist.

It's possible. 300 Spartans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For the 1962 film about the Battle of Thermopylae, see The 300 Spartans.
The 300 Spartans were a band of Spartan Warriors handpicked by Leonidas, King of Sparta, during the invasion of Xerxes during the Greco-Persian Wars. The 300 fought their last battle at Thermopylae. The 300 were a "sire only" unit, meaning that each soldier had already sired a son. A "sire only" unit in Sparta meant a suicide unit, as each soldier was expected to die in his mission. The 300 Spartans' mission was to slow down the Persian invasion.

According to the History written by Herodotus, Leonidas was motivated by a prophecy, given by the Oracle of Delphi, that for Sparta to survive the Persian invasion, one of her two kings must die in battle. Whether or not this is true, Leonidas had solid tactical reasons for undertaking the mission.

The combined Greek forces had been attempting to block the Persians' land advance at the narrow Pass of Thermopylae, at the same time as a naval engagement at Artemisium took on the Persian fleet. Unfortunately, Ephialtes, from Malis, revealed the existence of the Anopaean path to the Persians, who under Hydarnes were able to get around the pass and the Greek forces. The 1,000 Phocian soldiers who had been stationed there to protect the Greek rear fled.

After a council of war, Leonidas ordered the Greek allies to retreat, with the exception of 700 Thespians, 400 Thebans, and his own force of 300 Spartans. These forces engaged the Persians. The Thebans surrendered before the final assault by the Persians, while the Thespians and Spartans were completely annihilated.

This left all of central Greece undefended. The next line of land defense was at the Isthmus of Corinth.
