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
Sparta had allies with more land area compared to Athens. Notably, the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta, included large territories such as Corinth and Megara. In contrast, Athens primarily relied on its Delian League allies, who had smaller land areas but contributed naval strength. Overall, Sparta's alliances encompassed larger regions, giving them a strategic advantage in land-based military campaigns.
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 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.
