Ancient Greeks established colonies primarily between the 8th and 6th centuries BCE, during a period of population growth and trade expansion. They spread throughout the Mediterranean and the Black Sea regions, founding settlements in areas such as Southern Italy, Sicily, the coast of Asia Minor, and along the shores of the Black Sea. Notable colonies included Massalia (modern-day Marseille), Byzantium (Istanbul), and Syracuse in Sicily. These colonies served as vital trade hubs and facilitated the spread of Greek culture.
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

In ancient Greece.
The Greek people led the greek city-states to set up colonies
Colonies were crucial to ancient Greece as they provided essential resources, agricultural land, and trade opportunities. They allowed city-states to alleviate population pressure, expand their influence, and establish economic networks across the Mediterranean. Additionally, colonies facilitated the spread of Greek culture, language, and political ideas, helping to unify the diverse Greek world. Overall, colonies played a vital role in the growth and prosperity of Greek civilization.
