Analysis of the Battle of Leuctra

The battle of Leuctra was one of the most influential and important battles in the history of ancient Greece that took place in the summer of 371 BC. This battle not only influenced Greece for many years, it also influenced the history of Eastern Europe in the 4th century B.C. Prior to Leuctra, the city of Sparta was the most dominant and powerful force in the Peloponnese and other parts of Greece. But because of the conflict, the flow of history will change forever. Failure in Sparta's Leuctra's battle ended its power in Greece as military, political and social rule was forever broken due to failure and never recovered in the rest of its history It was.

In order to understand how the Kingdom of Macedonia dominated the Greek world, we must first see the Leuctra fight between Sparta and Thebe in 371 BC. As I read in the last chapter, Sparta broke Athens in 404 BC and finished the Peloponnesos war. Despite the victory of Sparta, this war has also weakened it. Although Thebes was on the side of Sparta during the Peloponnesos war, it became strong after the conflict. Sparta and Thebes fought in the territory near Thebes. The battle took place in Boeotia near the city Leuctra in July 371 BC.

The power of Athens was destroyed, but it continued to play an active role in Greek politics as a result of the Corinthian War. The latter Sparta was devastated by Thebes in the battle of Lycra in 371 B.C., but decades later, the competition ended when Philippe II of Macedonia conquered all Greece except Ataru and Sparta between Athens and Sparta.

Looking at the battle of Leuctra and learning Theban tactics is a young man named Philip from Macedonia. Philip was a hostage of Thebe because the thebes dominated Macedonia at this point. Phillip returned to Macedonia in 365 BC. Six years later, 359 BC Philip became king of Macedonia. As a king, Philippe utilized diplomacy and war to expand the territory of Macedonia. Philip married the families of the surrounding kingdoms and occupied gold mines that provide wealth to Macedonia. Philip is praised for making a long pie used in Phalanx of Macedonia
