Mesopotamia is called the cradle of civilization because it was the first region to have civilization. Greece is called the cradle of democracy because it was one of the first places to have voting and other qualities of democracies.

Did the Greeks invent democracy?

What contributions did the Greeks leave behind for modern society?

The most important legacy Greece ever gave us was probably democracy. However, Greece should not get that much credit because at the time democracy was formed, Greece was made up of independent city-states. The city-state (Athens today is a regular city) of Athens should get the credit of creating democracy.

Is modern Greece smaller than ancient Greece?

First of all, modern Greece is a unified country under a single government. Ancient Greece ranged from democracies (Athens, Thebes) to oligarchies (Sparta) and monarchies (Thessaly, Epirus, Macedonia). Furthermore, ancient Greeks colonized lands that are now outside of Greek borders, such as southern Italy, France, Turkey, Cyprus and some parts of the Russian shores. The Greek language has also evolved, and people now speak Modern Greek. Spelling has remained the same as it was in ancient Greek, but pronounciation has changed.


Why did the ancient Greece become a seafaring people?

The geography of Greece caused the Greeks to be sea traders in many ways. For a few ways I think u should read my report. In one one case Greece is surrounded by water on three sides. That means Greece is a pininsula. Another way is that if they needed resources they could easily just go up 2 Shqiperia. But if they needed things they didnt have any other choice but 2 go and look towards the sea. And on the c they could also fish so if I was in Greece I would look towards the c.
