  20. Outside Influence During this era, the Persians attacked from Central Asia. This attack united Greeks in the short term, but drove a wedge between the city-states of Athens and Sparta in the long term. The defeat of the Persians, such as at Marathon, led to the rise of Athens as a naval power and the trade that came with dominating the Aegean Sea.

  21. Analyze“_______ happened because _________” The buildup of political unity in Greece was a long process. The formation of the polis was because of the population buildup from earlier agricultural developments. City-states formed temporary alliances, for example during the Greco-Persian war, in order to defeat common enemies. The entire region of Greece was forced to take sides in the Peloponnesian War between Athens, as exemplified by the Melians, who were forced to choose. Finally, Philip of Macedon conquered and united Greece under one government, and this led to his son, Alexander, spreading Greek government and culture throughout the Middle East and Central Asia.
