Athens

Athens was on the coast, so was open to surprise seaborne attack. Sparta was inland and could have warning of and prepare for a land attack.

However there were other factors:

Athens was walled, could therefore be defended by a small force, and being connected by walls to its seaport, could import food when under siege. It could also send out an expedition by sea to attack it's attacker's home city while that city's army was besieging Athens..

Sparta was unwalled and had to be defended by land battle in the open, so it depended on the army being home and strong enough to see off an attacker. Sparta also had a large serf population nearby and was vulnerable to an uprising.

Instead of having slaves as a supplementary work force, they would have had to stop exporting their surplus populations to found new cities overseas, and retain them as labours at home. This would have exacerbated social tensions and revolts by the underclass, instead of the relatively seamless adoption of democracy which absorbed many of the class problems.

Ancient Σπάρτα (Sparta), modern Σπάρτη (Sparti)

Which control are you asking about.

It was called the Golden Age because the people of Athens enjoyed peace and good government and became very rich (on other cities' gold) and powerful. For more information, see the page link, further down this page, under Sources and Related Links.

Atlantis is a legendary island first mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias." According to Plato, Atlantis was a powerful and advanced civilization that eventually fell out of favor with the gods and sank into the ocean. The story is often considered a myth or allegory rather than a historical account, and its origins have inspired various theories and interpretations over the centuries.

Most men were sent to war whether they liked it or not. They served in the armed forces at sea, on land or in the air. Those who didn't go were wanted to do the jobs the soldiers did before they left.

Women did most of the work after the men left. They were encuraged to join the workforce as substitutes. In addition, women took more care of children and helped whenever, whoever and however they could.

Hopes this helps!

He was extremely proud of Athens. As a matter of fact, this pride would lead him to declare the fatal Pelopennisian War, which would end in Athens' defeat.

for 32 years :)

Its fleet was destroyed, the city besieged, and starved into submission.

Athens began minting its own coinage.

Peisistratus was a prominent ancient Greek statesman and tyrant of Athens who ruled in the 6th century BCE. He is best known for consolidating power and implementing various reforms that benefitted the economy and the arts, including the promotion of festivals and the construction of public works. His rule is often characterized by both authoritarian control and a degree of social and economic progress. Peisistratus laid the groundwork for the eventual rise of democracy in Athens.

A and C, You had to be male and descended from a citizen.

Does this answer your question???

No other city has contributed more to the civilization of mankind than Athens. It is the place where Socrates was born, Plato, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and many others. It is the place that humanism and democracy were born. The intellectual light that Athens created will always be alive.

YES

sadly xerxes the first

It was the other way around. Athens adopted a radical democratic system, and this was a contributing cause of it getting involved in the Peloponnesian War and losing it.

After losing the war and its empire, the citizens took less interest in democracy and reverted to less democratic forms of government.

Both were Greek city-states which led different alliances of city-states in Greece. At times when their interests were similar they werallis.When diferent they were adversaries - the story of the Greek world.
