I’m going going, back back, to Greece Greece Sources of the Democratic Traditions 10th Grade World History Mr.Munoz The Rise of the Greek City State Greece’s geography played a large role in its development – Why? A city state is a political unit made up of a city and the surrounding islands. In the 700s B.C. lack of fertile land encouraged the Greeks to expand, and by doing so spread their ideas. – Which were? The Rise of the Greek City-States As the Greek world expanded they evolved a unique version of the city-state which they called “polis”. The polis went through many types of government between 750 and 500 B.C – First was a monarchy The King was supported by the aristocracy (what is this?) The Rise of the Greek City State 650 B.C. Brings in iron weapons and a shift in power changes. – Why? How? Changes in Warfare Iron allows the general public to gain access to high tech weaponry New style of fighting emerges – phalanx – Demonstration This leads to two city-states developing in a different way. – What are the names of the two city-states? This is Sparta!: A Nation of Soldiers Sparta – Located on Peloponnesus in Southern Greece – 600 B.C transformed into a military state – Boys at the age of 7 began training for a life in the military – Girls too were expected to produce healthy sons for the army so they were required to work out their bodies. This is Sparta!: A Nation of Soldiers Government Included: – Two Kings – Council of Elders who advised the monarchs – An Assembly of all citizens approved major decisions. Citizens were male, native-born Spartans over the age of 30 The Assembly elected five ephors who held the real power. Athens: A Limited Democracy Located in the region of Attica First place Democracy was practiced – Democracy: government by the people Prior to Democracy, there was a Monarchy and Aristocracy The common people resented the nobles in power and under Solon democracy began to spread Athens: A Limited Democracy Solon’s Reforms allowed more people to be citizens, but there was still widespread unrest. This lead to Tyrants – What is a tyrant? The assembly of 500 Athens was created – Later this assembly was turned into an actual legislature Athens: A Limited Democracy By modern Standards, Athenian democracy was very limited. – Only male citizens could vote – Few people qualified for citizenship – Women had no share in public life – Citizens were able to debate these issues because slaves did all of the manual labor. The Persian Wars 500 B.C – Athens is the wealthiest Greek City State – How? Why? Persia invaded and All of Greece had to unite to fight them off. – Battle of Thermopylae Map of Greece Athens in the Age of Pericles 460-429 B.C Pericles leads Athens as the dominant city-state Political Life – Direct democracy was instated What is this? Do we (USA) have this? – 6,000 members had to be present to vote – Pericles allowed all male citizens to partake in government (members of the assembly received a salary) Athens in the Age of Pericles Athenians also created Juries – People served to be a juror for a year. – Number of jurors could total into the thousands Famous quote from Pericles – “We differ from other states, in regarding the man who holds aloof from public life not as ‘quiet’ but as useless. Economic and Cultural Life Athens prospered during the age of Pericles. – Increased jobs through building projects What does this remind you of in our country? – Created more temples to honor the Gods Pericles and a few other Greek thinkers came to believe that the universe was regulated by natural laws, and not the will of the gods The Peloponnesian War 431 B.C. - Battle between Sparta and Athens – Engulfed all of Greece – Lasted 27 years – Land versus Sea battles Spartans capture Athens in 404 B.C and end Athenian domination Summarize
