While the Phoenicians did not create the basis for Western democracy, they significantly contributed to the cultural and commercial foundations that influenced later democratic societies. Their development of the alphabet facilitated communication and trade, which helped spread ideas, including concepts of governance. Additionally, their city-states had aspects of self-governance that may have inspired subsequent civilizations, particularly the Greeks, who are often credited with the development of democracy.
