Greece

The Western Hemisphere, Europe, the Mediterranean and Black Sea littorals.

The Mountains influenced Greek history, because they seperated Greeks from each other.

The same, they were property, but you couldn't hit or kill a slave without a reason. Doctors didnt treat slaves or if they did treat them, they wouldn't explain the condition to the slave. Slave could be anyone who couldn't pay his financial obligations.

The people of Thebes are known as Thebans.

People in ancient Greece made bread from wheat. They ate fish, beef, goats, and sheep. They also ate olives and olive oil. They drank wine from grapes.

Solon was appointed to counter the friction, and threat of revolution, between upper and lower classes mainly over debt slavery. He solved this problem, but it had little to do with democracy which is the people at large controlling government. That did not happen for another 90 year under the active leadership of Cleisthenes in 507 BCE who brought in an assembly where landowners, big and small, passed legislation.

It was organized into separate city-states

The civilization of ancient Greece developed near the shores of the Aegean Sea. It also developed on islands in the Aegean Sea.

The first recorded civilization in Crete are the Minoans around 2000 B.C.E.. Their alphabet would serve as the basis for Mycenaean Greek language which is the forerunner to all future European language.

The ancient people of Crete were not, in fact, called Cretians, nor do I believe they are referred to as such today. The ancient peoples of Crete were known as the Minoans, after Minos, perhaps the most well-known king of Crete.

Minos is notable for his part in the myth of the Minotaur, or Bull of Minos. According to the legend, as a result of his displeasing the gods (specifically, Poseidon), his wife became enamored with a beautiful white bull, with which she conceived the Minotaur. Not one to be undermined so easily, Minos had a labyrinth built around his wife's half-human progeny, to which he would send 10 Athenian men and women every few years.

Minos could well have been a title, like Caesar beacame, as their are many different Minos mentioned throughout history.

The Ancient Greeks, especially, (at least in my opinion) were incredibly technologically more advanced than people give them credit. Some things that were invented during their time were the gear, screw, rotary mills, screw press, bronze casting techniques, water clock, water organ, torsion catapult and the use of steam to operate some experimental machines and toys, truss roofs, cranes, tumbler locks, spiral staircase, crossbow, wheelbarrow, showers, light house, odometer, chain drive, watermill, air and water pumps, surveying tools, analog computers, automatic doors that ran on steam, fire hose, vending machine that dispensed water for coins, and clock towers to name a few. They also had a weapon called Greek Fire that supposedly burned even under water and could sink ships during a battle. No one really knows what Greek Fire was. There are references to it, but unfortunately, nothing very defining. I know some of these things sound pretty remarkable, and for their time, I think they were.

• Minoan civilization
• Mycenaean civilization

The economy of ancient Greece was heavily depended on the important of goods. The need for imports was especially high because Greece's soil itself is relatively poor for growing anything viable. The few products they could grow themselves include olive trees and grapevines.

They ate bread, cheese, olives, fish, figs, grapes, porridge, dates and they drank wine.

The Greek archipelago.

In ancient times, the blending of the Greek and Eastern cultures that was powerfully effected by Alexander the Great's conquests has come to be known as the Hellenistic Age. This blending dominated the Mediterranean Basin for several hundred years until Rome's conquests ushered in a new cultural age.

They used wood for the walls, flooring and for the door. sand was also importantthey would use it for the bottom level for their houses. They would also use stone for their sidewalks.

No, Greece was an Allied power in World War 2. Greece was attacked by Italy & Germany. Occupied by Germany, then liberated when Germany was defeated.

Ancient Aegae (Modern Vergina) was the first capital of Macedonia. It was subsequently moved to Pella. Under Roman occupation, the capital was moved to Thessaloniki. When Macedonia was liberated in 1912 from the Ottoman occupation Thessaloniki was retained as the capital.

Ancient Greece comprised over 2,000 independent city-states. Each had their own form of government which varied over time. The common denominator was that they were often at war with each other and had to include all levels of men in their armed forces in order to survive. Their governance varied over time from monarchy to oligarchy, tyranny and democracy. Within these there were the rulers, the ruled, the wealthy, the subsistence farmers, fishermen, artisans, traders. Those with few or no rights were the poor, foreigners, women and slaves.

Greece and Turkey have been at war for a long, long time. Even when they are not fighting, they are certainly not friends. Greece was part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire until the 19th Century, and a bad feeling remains. During the Korean War, Greek troops and Turkish troops were assigned to different sectors to keep them from fighting each other instead of the enemy.

While there were nearly two thousand Greek states and several Greek colonies through out the ancient world, there was a list of major Greek city-states which included; Athens, Argos, Chalcis, Corinth, Eritrea, Epirus, Macedonia, Massalia, Sparta, Syracuse, and Thebes.

Early on, they had started out as a monarchy. That quickly dissolved as oligarchy (two or more rulers) became popular in Greece. But some city-states became overrun with tyranny and were ruled by false leaders who claimed to help the needy, and usually rose to power by illegal means. Finally, as Greece progressed, tyranny was overthrown, and democracy became the new form of government, as it still is today. People ruled and made decisions. There was a meeting held in Athens, which every adult male, rich or poor, could attend. Although thousands could attend, most wouldn't show up, leaving politics to the professionals. Ones who did voted on who became the new statesman, or senator. They passed laws that the public could agree or disagree on.
