Sparta would basically kill or threaten the people originally living in the place that they wanted
I think they conquered neighboring land. Hope that helps :)
Athens. Sparta was famous for its land army.
Geographically, Sparta was the largest city-state, and all that land meant that many soldiers were needed to guard against pirates.

A navy is not on land, so neither had the best navy.
Athens, Sparta was a war infested land. Bred only with the pure Sparta blood.
Sparta
around 725 bc Sparta conquered and took over the land of neighboring messenia.
They worked the land, and rendered half their produce to Sparta, which allowed the Spartans to concentrate on supervising them, defend the territory, and take part in their own society.
They were very good at land warfare and discipline.
Sparta had a rugged, mountainous terrain with the Taygetos Mountains in the south. The Eurotas River ran through the valley where Sparta was located. The region also had fertile plains ideal for agriculture.
Sparta was more isolated than Athens was. Sparta was located on a plain between the mountains and the sea in the part of Greece, which is the Peloponnesus (look it up). Spartans were usually suspicious of outsiders and their ideas. Geography had affected development in Sparta by making Spartans grow what they needed or would often take what they needed from their neighbors. Spartans valued strength and simplicity while Athens had boasted about their art and culture.
