Greece


Greece geography is a lot of islands surrounding a main land with a rocky coast, The Gods of Greece are very Famous like Zeus or Poseidon but they were more like political figures, they instead worshipped the local gods like the animal spirits or their ancestors, Greece it’s self is a combination of separate governments, It was first a trading civilization, the first 2 civilizations was The Mycenaean’s and the Minoan’s. The Mycenaeans and the Minoans were complete opposites, the Myceaeans were warlike people, while the Minoans were peaceful agricultural people.
Later the Mycenaeans were deafeated by the other Greek tribes at Troy, after the defeat a tribe called the Dorians took over the land of the Mycenaeans, Which started the Dark Ages of Greece, The Dorians were very un-cultural, so not much is known about them.
At about 800BC the High Greek Culture arose and ended the Dark Ages, The Greeks started trading and colonizing.
Afterwards the Greek was attacked by the Persians, so they joined together and after several decades or so years, they defeated the Persians.
As Greece grew there was many rivalries, but the biggest rivalries were the Spartans and the Athenians about who is the best, The Spartans were war ready men which traineed night and day, And the Athenians the cultural people of rome, soon they started a war called the Peloponesian-War, The victor of the Peloponesian War was Sparta, and as such the culture of Greece plummeted.
After the Peloponesian war Alexander the Great rose in power of the military of Greece and started making an empire with Greeks army naming 30 cities after himself, unfortunately Alexander died at the young age of 30, and he did’nt have a plan for a successor so his generals had to keep it a float but failed many years later, and split up.
Later on Greece got took over by the Romans, but the Romans decided to keep the culture but under strict rules.
