The Trojan War Relation To Turkey..............WHAT!

Turkey is a beautiful place to visit, and very interesting as well. Long ago they`re was a war named the Trojan War! This war was a very unique war I might say. According to Greek sources, the Trojan War has its roots in the marriage between Peleus and Thetis, a sea-goddess. The first nine years of the war consisted of both war in Troy and war against the neighboring regions, such as Turkey! The Greeks realized that Troy was being supplied by its neighboring kingdoms, so Greeks were sent to defeat these areas. One of the main areas was in Turkey! The problem was that they couldn't get into to Turkey. So they built a wooden horse. When they finally got in, with the horse and won the war, they celebrated. In fact you can go to Çanakkale in Turkey and see the replica of the horse. Now do you see why the Trojan War was related to Turkey?

    I never knew that the Trojan Horses that they talked about looked like that, I always thought that it was a war with horses that makes more sense. I also had no idea that Turkey was supplying the Greeks so it was smart of the Greeks to try to attack Turkey. That also turned in to a bad plan because they lost. I have a few questions and the first one is about how many people would one Trojan Horse fit. The second is why did they spend time making them all like a horse instead of just making like a boat or structure. Finally do you know how long it took for them to make a Trojan Horse because to me it seems like it would take a while.
