Answer Key

#	Answer
1	Athens and Sparta. Athens was known for democracy and trade, while Sparta was known for its military society and strict discipline.
2	Ancient Greece’s mountainous terrain and many islands made travel and communication difficult. As a result, communities developed separately into independent city-states rather than becoming one unified state.
3	Athenian democracy was direct, meaning citizens voted on laws themselves rather than electing representatives. Also, citizenship was limited to adult male citizens, excluding women, enslaved people, and foreigners.
4	The Persian Wars encouraged a stronger sense of Greek identity because many city-states united against a common enemy. Athens gained increased power and influence after the wars, especially through leadership in the Delian League, which later contributed to tensions with Sparta and other city-states.
5	Ancient Greece left a lasting legacy through ideas such as democracy, civic participation, philosophy, theater, history, and architecture. Greek political thought influenced modern democratic governments, while Greek literature, art, and philosophy continue to shape education, public life, and cultural expression today.
