Detailed explanation-1: -Starting in 358 BC, Philip II of Macedonia took on nearby city-states to expand his own territory. He ultimately unified Greece. When Philip was killed, his son, Alexander the Great, took power and then built Greece into an empire. Alexander conquered first Asia Minor and then Egypt and the eastern Mediterranean.
Detailed explanation-2: -The formation of the Delian League, or Athenian League, in 478 B.C. united several Greek city-states in a military alliance under Athens, ostensibly to guard against revenge attacks from the Persian Empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Peloponnesian War was a war fought in ancient Greece between Athens and Sparta-the two most powerful city-states in ancient Greece at the time (431 to 405 B.C.E.). This war shifted power from Athens to Sparta, making Sparta the most powerful city-state in the region.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ancient Greek city-states were in a constant rivalry for land, resources and power which meant that warfare became an ever-present aspect of life. Athens and Sparta were famous rivals throughout the Classical period but other cities like Corinth and Thebes were just as active on the battlefield.
