Greece

Back in greece one of the greatest paradoxes of history is the hesitant advance of European civilization,the development of the first city states.People say it took place in central European, but actually it took in an island to the south of Aegean Sea.While the glittering mounted warrior,princes of central Europe dissipated their creative energy in warefare.A highly cultured but yet peaceful society, built on trade and an agricultural surplus, emerged on Crete.

The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters.Later on came early farmers and thecivilizations of the Minoan and Mycenaean kings. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Dark Ages. In about 1100 BC, an organization called the "Dorians" invaded from the north and spread down the west coast.After they invaded that space,in the period from 500 through 336 BC,Greece was divided into small city states.Each of the cities consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside.
