Population growth was the most significant development of the Classical Period. True or False?
Population growth was the most significant development of the classical period. From the years 1000 BCE to 1 CE the population of the world jumped from 120 million people to 250 million. What caused this surge? farming, people realized that they could grow crops near them rather then having to go many miles to collect the grain. then people discovered iron, it could be formed into weapons. then they made it into plows and attached a horse of ox a plow could do twice the work of humans.these thing led to the development of bigger citys such as rome and alexandria on the medditeranian and changan in china. having bigger citys like rome (pop. 1 mil) led to collective learning, such as arts and philosophy.

Very good entry. I liked how you used dates to really detail and draw out your theory.
I liked your entry, though maybe you could have elaborated more on why it is important. But overall, great job.
