Detailed explanation-1: -The Greeks began founding colonies as far back as 900 to 700 B.C.E. These colonies were founded to provide a release for Greek overpopulation, land hunger, and political unrest. Iron tools and new farming techniques allowed the Greeks to farm larger pieces of land.
Detailed explanation-2: -Greece is actually a series of islands or archipelagos and peninsulas. These islands and peninsulas were covered with high mountains, making travel by land very difficult. As a result, the ancient Greek people mostly traveled by water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greece’s steep mountains and surrounding seas forced Greeks to settle in isolated communities. Travel by land was hard, and sea voyages were hazardous. Most ancient Greeks farmed, but good land and water were scarce. They grew grapes and olives, and raised sheep, goats, pigs, and chickens.
Detailed explanation-4: -Here are some of the primary causes: Greece was divided into city-states. Constant warring between the city states weakened Greece and made it difficult to unite against a common enemy like Rome. The poorer classes in Greece began to rebel against the aristocracy and the wealthy.
