Macedonia (jan 1, 650 BC – sep 13, 2023)
Description:
In ancient Greece, Sparta stood as a distinctive and formidable city-state during the 5th century BC. Known for its militaristic society, Sparta prioritized military training from early childhood, producing some of the most disciplined and skilled warriors in the Greek world. The Spartan government, characterized by a dual kingship and a council of elders, aimed to maintain strict control over its citizens. Despite its military prowess, Sparta was often seen as an isolationist state, prioritizing self-preservation over expansion. It played a crucial role in the Peloponnesian War against Athens, which ultimately weakened both city-states and paved the way for external conquest by Philip II of Macedon and his son, Alexander the Great
