This is FALSE. Athens did not have enough farmland to grow crops for all of its people.
Theseus found out that his father was the King of Athens so he traveled there in order to meet him.
Sparta was the most powerful Polis in Greece because of the strength of it's land army. Athens' power however was rising quickly as they began to build an empire in the Aegean, with the wealth of this new empire Athens built a wall around their city; ancient Greek armies had few options for attacking walled cities and primarily needed to starve them out. This meant that Athens was now a serious rival to Sparta, the Spartans did not wish to let go of their power so demanded that Athens tear down their wall, they did not so Sparta went to war.
Well it had two mountain chains on both sides like this { } AND THE SPARTA is this thingy which is the star (*) { } so that it why there was alot of land to farm { * }and plant, THEY HAD like alot of room! idk if { }the picture is messed up but oh well u get it :)
because to win Athens over she had provided the first olive tree providing wood, olive oil and food... :)
Yes
since athens had little farm land it relied on trade to meet its needs for food and other resources.
Where at? Farm land? Commercial land? Building plot? So much factors into that...
Farmers needed special plows to farm the land in the Plains of the U.S for a few reasons. One reason was that so much of the land needed to be plowed.
Greece was mountainous so it was difficult to farm though i know they were able to plant grapes. They were able to farm on very little land. If you want a more specific answer you should search it on google, you'll probably find a page about greece there. Hope this helped :)
so the surf can farm on the land and take care of it.
A navy is not on land, so neither had the best navy.
the ancientGreeks ruled over Greece and Bulgaria and turkey.
Sparta beat Athens with the help of the Persians. The Spartans sold land in Asia Minor so that they could build a navy with that navy they crushed Athens' navy and Athens surrendered.
because many farmers sold their land to aristocrats and became tenant farmers.!!!
No, like most Greek city-states, human fecundity and no TV to watch at night led to city-states becoming over-populated, and having to send their surplus populations to other places around the Mediterranean and Black Seas to seize land from the occupants and form new city-states for themselves. This way over 2,000 city-states were established. Athens formed such colonies in Agora, Amphipolis, Pontic Athens, Berge, Cardia, Crenides, Ephesus and Thurii. The other outlet for overpopulation beyond the farming capacity was trade. Athens' land was poor, and could only grow less than half of its needs, and this was not what but the coarser rye and barley, so it also became a trading centre, exporting manufactures and art to finance importation of grain which was the staple diet.
I think that it is because people were poor and some people had so much land then they went into war with someone
