Ancient Greece

Go to school you illiterate spack.

Athens was a city-state. Therefore Athens was both a state and a city and thus the capital. The broader province of Athens (i.e. the rural areas) was and still is Attica.

An equivalent example was the city-state of Corinth or Sparta/Lakonia (both today exist with same borders and names as prefectures of Greece).

Superior naval and land strategies and tactics.

Operating on interior lines - that is, being close to their source of supply of men, food and materiel, unlike the Persians whose support came from Asia Minor in an age of poor transport.

A major Greek strategy was the elimination of the persian fleet, which

- could no longer protect supply ships - after losing naval superiority at Salamis, half the Persian army went home as it could not be supplied.

- posed an amphibious threat to the Greek cities which kept their armies at home protecting them - after Salamis the Greek armies were able to concentrate at Plataia to defeat the reduced Persian army.

The Greek word for sun is helios.

Yes, at times they did. The value of the money was in the metal of the coin. If the drachma had the same amount of metal as the Roman coin, it was used. There are even records of the Roman army being paid in drachmas rather than denarii.

Ancient Greece was not a country. The Greek world was comprised of a couple of thousand independent city-states of various sizes, with a similar cultural heritage, spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

Each city-state was separated by large mountain ranges, so it was pretty hard to unite the whole country.

While Muhammad was alive, the first capital of the Islamic Nation was declared in Medina, Saudi Arabia in 622 C.E. with the Constitution of Medina. Once Muhammad conquered Mecca, Saudi Arabia in 630 C.E., the capital was transferred to Mecca.

Originally it offered protection against Persia, provided the cities paid up their annual tax to pay for the upkeep of the Athenian fleet which protected them. However when peace was made with Persia, Athens still collected the money, by force if necessary, which it spent on itself. When Athens got into a war withe the Peloponnesian League, it dragged the cities into it.

Not too many advantages there.

He left no viable heir, and his generals grabbed parts of the empire and fought over these spoils. The residue was the Hellenistic Kingdoms ruled by dynasties descended from the most successful surviving generals.

It involved the Greek world from Sicily to Asia Minor, whith great destruction and loss of life. It cost Athens its empire after it lost.

For the nearly 200 city-states exposed to Persian domination, protection (at a price). This benefit ceased when the Persians agreed to a peace which kept them out of the area, but Athens continued to levy the price and spend the money on a fleet not against the Persians but to continue collecting the money, by force if necessary, and spent it on its own city beautification and public service.

There were several - the most notable were Salamis (in the Saronic Gulf between the island of Salamis and Athens in 480; Mykale in Asia Minor 479 BCE and Eurymedon in Asia Minor 466 BCE.

Athens led a league of 180 Greek city-states after the Persian invasion had been driven back to preserve the independence of those cities which had been under Persian rule. After the Persian Empire gave up trying to impose peace on these Greek cities, Athens kept control of them, turned them into an empire of its own. It lived high on the proceeds and kept a large fleet which forcibly collected the annual funds levied for defence against Persia, but now used by Athens for its own benefit.

in Sparta the boys had two leave their familys at age 7. but in Sparta they only had to fight at times of war.

The answer they are looking for is democracy.

After the reforms of Solon, all male landowners of property gained the vote, and any such man could be elected into office, women, slaves, and xenoi (resident foreigners, Greeks, but not Athenians) could not vote. Practically everything was decided by some form of election, and it has been estimated that every male landowner in Athens will have served in the administration at some point in his life.

Antipater ruled the Macedonia and the rest of Greece after Alexander the Great died.
