Athens was the birthplace of democracy.
Yes, ancient Athens was actually the birthplace of democracy.
It was Athens, in ancient Greece. Democracy was limited to citizens (excluding women and slaves) and not everyone who lived there had the right to vote. Nevertheless, Athens practiced the first form of democracy anywhere.
The home of the famous philosopher, Socrates, and also the birthplace of democracy was ancient Athens. Located in the southeastern portion of mainland Greece in the eastern portion of the Mediterranean Basin, Athens enjoyed a Golden (or, Classical) period in which both Socrates and democracy were born. On both counts, civilization has been profoundly influenced -- and is likely to continue to be influenced.
Why is Athens considered the birthplace of modern democracy
Western civilization, you 'napper!

Athens was the birthplace of democracy. When Philip the 2nd conquered Greece, Athens was still making its own laws but was supervised. Eventually their democracy was ended and never really began again.
