Hellenistic refers to the international period of
Greek history, when much of the Mediterranean and southwestern Asia was under
Greek rule. Influenced by they the people they ruled.
East of Italy!
Athens lost the Peloponnesian War because Athens thought Sparta was going to attack them but they weren't going to. Athens was just very impatient. Pericles provoked and convinced Athens on starting this war that in the end made Athens lose 1/3 of their population and brought the plague to Greece. Athens started out by losing 2/3 of their naval ships against one of Sparta's allies. This didn't have to happen but Athens was too scared. Because Athens lost this war, they had to give up all their outlying possessions, pulled down their defensive walls, and became forces allies of Sparta. Lost there ships. Sparta lost things to! In 359 B.C king Phillip II wanted to gain power of all the city states but failed. He wanted to lead Greeks and the Macedonians over the Persian Empire. King Phillip II of Macedonia comes to power; moves to control Greece.
