Greece doesn't have any colonies in Africa. They never did. The closest thing to Greece having colonies in Africa was when the Macedonian Empire controlled parts of modern-day Egypt around 300 BC.
The rugged mountains and limited arable land in Greece motivated people to establish colonies in search of new resources and arable land for agriculture. The indented coastline of Greece provided natural harbors and encouraged maritime trade, making colonization and communication between colonies easier.
The benefits for Greece and its colonies included economic growth, cultural exchange, and military support. Greece gained access to resources and trade routes, enhancing its economy, while the colonies benefited from Greek protection and the spread of Greek culture, including language, art, and philosophy. This symbiotic relationship fostered a sense of unity and shared identity among the Greek city-states and their colonies, strengthening their collective influence in the Mediterranean. Additionally, the colonies served as outlets for Greek population pressures and opportunities for expansion.
