Ancient Greece and the Spartan War

During the Peloponnese War, Sparta could rule Athens and win the war. At the end of the war, Athens became confused and Sparta weakened. Athens is politically, economically and militarily influenced, but Sparta is only slightly politically and militarily affected. However, because Sparta does not know foreigners, the outcome of the war will be worse than the war itself. In 431 BC, the Peloponnesos war began a tragic war. War broke out between Greece, Sparta and Athens.

For 27 years, the Peloponnesos war between Athens and Sparta of ancient Greece changed forever the landscape of the ancient world. Thought to be one of the first major wars in the world, the Athenians and the Spartans carried out a bloody and terrible war for freedom. After the first series of battles, in the midst of sadness and loss, the Athenian leader Pellicle confronted his compatriots and took his famous funeral speech to commemorate the immortality of Athens' life loss Announced. Among his fallen fellows, the great pellicle said: "Because the heroes use the whole earth as their tombs, and on the land far from themselves, the pillars with the inscription declare it Each breast has it, a tablet record.Please protect it except the heart.They are your role model, judge that happiness is the result of freedom, courage and freedom, and We will never reduce the danger of war. "

Traditionally, ancient Greece was a gathering of urban states full of fierce independence. After the Peloponnesus War (431 - 404 BC), Greece was under the hegemony of Sparta, Sparta was outstanding among this hegemony, but he was not full power. After the battle of Leuctra (371 BC), the hegemony of Sparta was handed over to Theban, but after the battle of Mantiana (362 BC) all regions of Greece weakened and every country is dominant I could not claim to be. . In relation to this, the superiority of Macedonia began under the rule of Philip II. Macedonia is in the suburbs of the Greek world and claims that its royal family is Greek, but the Macedonians themselves are considered semi-savages by other Greeks. However, in Macedonia there is a relatively powerful and centralized government that directly controls wide areas compared to most Greek countries.
