[ Hashirama is happy to be here. He is in the one place he had always wanted to be, and not up a stage preaching politics and scamming the masses like his forefathers had done. He was a teacher, which was a much nobler profession than politics. ]

[Sasuke stares at the board, a little bored.]

Theres a lot of conflict in history.[He points out, and hopes that they will be focussing on something interesting. Like the subtle conflict of Roman politics. Or an ancient war between Greece and Persia.

Samurai could be fun too. Sasuke sort of likes history, so he hopes the teacher is good. :>]

YOU DID NOT SEE THAT HTML FAIL :V

Indeed there has been. Conflict, uprising, and consequently, revolution is what has brought us where we are today.

[ He walks up to the board and writes, next to the word CONFLICT, the following phrase: "Vive la revolution" ]

Sounds familiar? [ He smiles, sitting on the edge of the desk in front of Sasuke. ] It's all over t'shirts and posters today. But when was the phrase first coined..?

I SAW NOTHING GOOD SIR <3

French revolution. It was part of the catch-cry of the mobs which tore down the feudal system. [He quirks a brow, threads his fingers together, and awaits another question.]

[smirks in superiority--Sasuke has to answer easy questions--HAH!]

[sparklypony911]

[Sasuke glares. Yes, it was an easy question but he's totally gonna kick your arse if it ever comes to ancient civillizations. Just you wait.]

[cagedbydestiny]

[Don't be so sure, Sassy. Ancient Civilizations are Neji's forte. He'll kick your sweet, sweet kiester.]

[sparklypony911]

[You sure you just want to kick it, Neji? ;) Because Sasuke doesn't take kindly to violence.

...Also he rocks at AncientHistory. A plusplusplus is what he's gonna get.]

[ And somewhere in the middle of the lesson Mr. Hshirama moves on in the lesson to: ]

And now, let us move away from conflict and societies that adopted communism as a means of bringing things under control to some of the famous democratic societies like ancient Greece.

Alright, class, tell me something about.... [ Scribbles in big letters above the word CONFLICT ] The Peloponnesian War~

Ooooooh yeah.

[sparklypony911]

[YESYESYES; time for Sasuke to kick Neji's butt at history.]

A large figure was Pericles, the ruler of Athens at the time. He was the one who proposed the aliiance between Athens and the smaller islands which surrounded it - initially as a defence against the Persians. But the Athenian's started to heavily tax their 'allies' [Yeah, he just used his fingers to make quotation marks.] to create more warships, to build walls, and enhance their navy. Sparta was the only city-state that was large enough to challenge them, and there was tension between them. The Pelopensian War was really caused by Athens rapid expansion, and Sparta's fear of it.

[cagedbydestiny]

...Oh come on, this is child's play! Give me something challenging!

[firewood_senju]

[ Arms crossed in front of his chest, Hashirama can't help but chuckling lightly at these two. ]

Alright then... [ SEE HASHIRAMA'S NEXT POST FOR THE NEW ACTIVITY~ ]

[firewood_senju]

Exactly! And then-- [ Walks up quickly to the board and smudges out a few letters and adds new ones to make it look like "Viva la Revolucion" ] This. Cuba. Ernesto 'Che' Guevara. [ Points to a flag on the opposite end of the class with Che's face on it :| ]

What were the events leading up to the Cuban Revolution, and what was the outcome? What kind of society do you think Che Guevara had for his people? :)
