Dan:if the 300 spartans and the allies had fell after the first day,as Serse thought,probably his Army wouldn't have to stop and spend the winter in tessaglia after the destruction ao Athen.The persians had a lot of casualities,but i agree with u tha Salamin and Platea were,strategically more important.Only one thing robably the greeks wouldn't have fought so hard the next year if they didn't get the heroism Leonidas and the others offered.The whole greece was impressed by that way of acting!! Lepanto was a very important naval battle fought. in sept.1571 between the venecians and the turks.200 ships of Venice,Austria,Geneva and Rome,leaded by Jan d'Austria.They destroyed the turk fleet,but the next year the Turk won another battle(don't remember the name!!) and force the Venecians to firm a Tratee.I don't think that battle was so important:Venice had already lost his dominium in East-mediterrenean. The William's reforms were not all made by him,but in 150 years his successors made many grat things to change the burocracy,justice and generally the pubblic organization of britain.Just to neme some of them:itinerant justice,the centralization of the administration of justice in the hands of the royal courts(court of Exchequer,King's bench.....and so on).the writ sistem,the creation of the dual-system common law-equity........ So William made all these thing and many others possible with his conquest.(i'm sorry for my bad english,probably i did not well explicate the point......)
