How was the mercenary profession created?
The history of mercenaries is a long and varied one, with the first professional soldiers appearing in Ancient Greece. These men-for-hire were known as hoplites, and their primary purpose was to fight in wars that their city-state could not afford to pay for. Over time, the role of the mercenary has changed and expanded, with mercenaries now being used for everything from security work to relief efforts.
While the exact origins of mercenaries are unknown, they are thought to have first appeared in Ancient Greece. The hoplites were the first professional soldiers, and they were hired by city-states that could not afford to pay for their own military. These men were highly trained and well equipped, and they proved to be invaluable in times of war.
Throughout history, mercenaries have played a vital role in conflicts all over the world.
