Downfall of the City-States

             .
             .
             Downfall of the city-states.
             There were several factors that contributed to the ability of the various Greek city-states to.
             fend off repeated attempts by several Persian rulers to conquer the Greek world, one being their.
             ability to come together and and fight as one people in times of war with the Persian Empire. .
             Normally, the city-states such as Athens and Sparta would fight each other but in this case found it.
             wise to put aside their political differences and unite to fight a common enemy. I think that being .
             on their own territory and knowing local geography and conditions also gave the Greeks an.
             enormous advantage over the Persians. Military victories against the Persian armies during battles.
             such as Marathon, Salamis and Plataea helped the city-states maintain their freedom. The.
             beginnings of democratic principles in government also helped make it possible for the city-states.
             to survive.
             I believe that the Persians overextended their reach into the Greek lands and the problems .
             that the Persian ruler faced at home also contributed to their inability to conquer the Greeks.
             The part that Athens played in the victories over Persia helped it become the leader of the.
             Greek world and soon ushered in a period known as the Golden Age of Greece. Athens would.
             soon became an imperial power and her policies towards other city-states would incite war.
             between her and Sparta. In the ensuing period of warfare Sparta, with financial help provided by .
             Persia defeated Athens and captured the city. This did not end the warfare, other city-states.
             became involved and soon began a period of intermittent warfare between the Greeks which .
             eventually brought about their downfall.
