No the Athens and Sparta didnÍt trade. They both had different cultures and governments but both had power over Greece. The Athens had free speaking and democracy and smaller city-states to form a more powerful rule. The Sparta had a strong military and lots of land.
Athens was located in Attica, close to the sea, which enabled it to develop a strong navy and excel in trade. Sparta, on the other hand, was located in the region of Laconia, further inland and surrounded by mountains, which contributed to its focus on land-based military strength and agriculture. Overall, Athens had better access to the sea, while Sparta was more secluded and land-oriented.
The Athens society was far better than that of Sparta since Athens was more intellectual and wanted to learn and develop; they were not just focused on war. Sparta was much more practical and learning how to fight was any Spartan's top priority. Athens developed the democracy as well.
Spartans did not trade with anyone due to the fact that outsiders were not allowed inside their city-states. Also, insiders were not allowed out.
While Athenian economy had depended on trade, Sparta's economy had relied upon farming and on conquering other people.
only the Athens the Spartans had no trade (they were a milatary place)i got this from my text book
Sparta only focused on strength reading writing if this had nothing to due with a good military they wouldn`t be there. Athens though was about the Arts so building writing Darma and such was more there focus
Athens used the power of its empire to intervene in the affairs of the southern Greek cities in the Peloponnesian Peninsula and their colonies. These incursions were principally in Corcyra and Potidaea and finally its trade rival Megara which Athens set out to bankrupt. The Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta, of which Megara was a member, demanded that Athens cease this; Athens refused and war broke out.
Athens had more shipbuilders than Sparta due to its focus on naval power and trade. As a leading maritime city-state, Athens invested heavily in its navy, especially during the Persian Wars, leading to the construction of advanced triremes. In contrast, Sparta prioritized its land-based military and focused on infantry training, resulting in minimal naval development. Thus, Athens was the clear leader in shipbuilding.
Athens was a democratic society known for its focus on arts, education, and intellectual pursuits, while Sparta had a militaristic society with a strong emphasis on physical training and discipline. Athens valued individual freedom and creativity, while Sparta prioritized military prowess and collective welfare. Overall, Athens was more focused on cultural development and trade, while Sparta was centered around military strength and maintaining a disciplined society.
Athens has more geographic advantages than Sparta. Its location near the sea allowed for easy access to trade routes and resources, while its natural defense provided protection against invaders. Sparta, on the other hand, was located inland and surrounded by mountains, making it less advantageous geographically.
