Battle of
Corinth making it
part of the

This marks the end of the Greek country and makes way for a new Empire.Alexander
begins his
conquests and
defeats the
Persians.
This allowed the greeks to expand and create a larger country.Alexander the Great
becomes king
when his father,
Philip of Macedon
is assassinated.
A new and younger King
to rule Greece is an important
milestone because this
lets there be a new veiw on how
thing are run.The wars
between
Sparta and Athens begin.
They are called the
Peloponnesian Wars.
The wars lasted
27 years with Sparta
eventually conquered
Athens in
404 BC.
Sparta was known for its strong
army and this only proved that it
was superior to other Greek army's.The Greeks fight
the Persians in the
Greek/Persian Wars.
Two famous battles
are the
Battle of Marathon in
490 BC and the Battle of Salamis
in 480 BC.
The Greeks win
and the Persians
retreated.
This war lasted for 50 years and allowed the
Greeks to have developed better wepons.Democracy is
introduced in Athens by
Cleisthenes.
He establishes a constitution
and is often called the
"Father of Athenian Democracy".
This is one of the
great accomplishments of
Greek culture.
The greeks were the first people to ever
have a democratic system and this
allowed them to be a united country.A lawyer named Draco
introduces strict new laws
in Athens that are punishable
by death.
These are called
Draconian laws.
These laws are the first written laws

a dictator.The First Messenian War
begins.This is a war
between
Sparta and Messenia
that will last
many years.
The conquest of Messenia
meant that
Sparta grew richer and stronger,
and it allowed the Spartan
elite to become a class of
professional warriorsThe first
Olympic Games took place.
The games would
take place every 4
years in
honor of the
Greek god Zeus.
I think this is important because
doing the highly competitive sports
will let them have more hobbies than
fighting.
