* Trojan War
Took place in many other places rather than Troy
The goal was to shorten the supplies that were getting to Troy so that they would have to surrender.
It was waged against the city of Trot, by the Achaeans.
The was was also one of the greatest events in Greek mythology.
The date of the Trojan War was from 1194 - 1184 B.C.
In the mythological version of the Trojan War the warriors are able to sneak inside the walls of Troy with a giant horse build out of wood that they hid inside of.
Some people ever speculate that the Trojan horse existed.
* Peloponnesian War
431-404 BC
The cause of the War was that Sparta was getting nervous about the growing power of Athens, so they went to war.
The main thing that made them nervous was the power that the Athenian navy was the thing that really made the Spartans nervous.
The Spartans had a very good strategy throughout the war by attacking not just
* Weapons
Shield
Spear
Ballista
Dagger/Sword
Catapult
