How did having a polis in Greece shape the history of Greece?
About 300 years after the Mycenaean civilization crumbled, the Greeks started to join together in small groups for protection and stability. Over time, these groups set up independent city-states. The Greek word for a city-state is polis. The creation of city-states marks the beginning of what is known as Greece's classical age. A classical age is one that is marked by great achievements. - Ryan Higgins (323) 327-6164
When was ancient Greece founded and by who?
Ancient Greece wasn't "founded", it just kind of happened and no particular person sat down and wrote up the "Constitution of Ancient Greece." Rather, it was a collection of independent city-states founded at various times by different people or groups of people, who certainly would not have regarded themselves as "ancient" anything, but rather as the very cutting edge and pinnacle of culture (and in some ways they were right to do so).
How was it possible that different parts of Greece had different forms of government?
The idea of a unified Greece under one government is a modern construction. Ancient Greece was a region, not one country. The various cities, such as Athens, Thebes, Sparta, Corinth, Megara, Delphi, Pylos, etc. each ruled themselves independently of one another, leading each to be called a city-state, since the city and the surrounding countryside were independent of other states. Since the city-states were all independent, they each had their own form of government.
How did Dorian invasion help spread Greek culture?
It populated the Peloponnese, then over-populated it, and so the Dorian city-states sent out colonies around the Mediterranean littoral.
What were two cultural contributions of Paleolithic era?
In the paleolithic era, early homo sapiens sapiens lived in groups and were hunter gatherers, often nomadic, and both genders had an equal importance.
