The ancient Greeks had a long history of founding colonies. Beginning as early as the ninth century BC.
Yes. Marseilles (Masselia) was a Greek colony, and there were Greek colonies inLibya. Of course, Alexander the great conquered Egypt which made is a Greek colony of sorts.
Ancient Greece itself had no real weakness, since each individual city-states makes up for the weakness of another. For example, Spartan had a horrible political system, with oligarchy, monarchy, and democracy all together, yet Athens' democracy more than makes up for Spartan's political weakness. On the other hand, Spartan military make the whole Greece military seem stronger.
What form of government did the colonists establish in the colonies themselves
erm... Ancient Greek is from Ancient Greece :P
In ancient Greece.
The Greek people led the greek city-states to set up colonies
A place to dispose of their surplus populations.
There were hundreds of Greek colonies that existed in ancient Greece. These included Apoikai, Cyme, and Zankle. Three more colonies were Alalia, Syracuse, and Thera.

They wanted to establish colonies because the pilgrams were being killed by the indies
They entrenched Greek culture and power far beyond the cradle of the Grek peninsula and spread it around the Mediterranean and lack Seas.
The seas surrounding ancient Greece influenced its development because they used the sea to establish colonies and trade with people from other lands.
