My essay topic will be about the trojan war, one of the most influential wars in the world.  The first paragraph would be an introduction to Greece and how they fought wars in that time period. My second paragraph would be on who fought in this specific war and why they began to fight. The next paragraph would cover the war it and who won and the tactics used by either sides.
