In 492&#160;BC, Persian general <a href="/wiki/Mardonius_(general)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mardonius (general)">Mardonius</a> led an army (supported by a fleet) across the <a href="/wiki/Dardanelles" title="Dardanelles">Hellespont</a>, re-subjugating <a href="/wiki/Thrace" title="Thrace">Thrace</a> and adding <a href="/wiki/Macedonia_(ancient_kingdom)" title="Macedonia (ancient kingdom)">Macedonia</a> as a fully-subjugated client kingdom.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> However, before he could reach Greece proper, his fleet was destroyed in a storm near <a href="/wiki/Mount_Athos" title="Mount Athos">Mount Athos</a>.

Initially, each city in the League would contribute ships and soldiers to a common army, but in time Athens allowed (and then compelled) the smaller cities to contribute funds so that it could supply their quota of ships.

After some inconclusive fighting, the two sides signed a peace treaty in 447&#160;BC.

Both historians were also Athenian generals who lived through the war. </p><p>The war began in 431&#160;BC over a dispute between the cities of <a href="/wiki/Corcyra" class="mw-redirect" title="Corcyra">Corcyra</a> and <a href="/wiki/Epidamnus" class="mw-redirect" title="Epidamnus">Epidamnus</a>. <a href="/wiki/Corinth" title="Corinth">Corinth</a>, an ally of <a href="/wiki/Sparta" title="Sparta">Sparta</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Peloponnesian_League" title="Peloponnesian League">Peloponnesian League</a>, intervened on the Epidamnian side. Fearful lest Corinth capture the Corcyran navy (second only to the Athenian in size), Athens intervened. They prevented Corinth from landing on Corcyra at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Sybota" title="Battle of Sybota">Battle of Sybota</a>, laid siege to <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Potidaea" title="Battle of Potidaea">Potidaea</a>, and forbade all commerce with Corinth's closely situated ally, <a href="/wiki/Megara" title="Megara">Megara</a>, with the <a href="/wiki/Megarian_decree" class="mw-redirect" title="Megarian decree">Megarian decree</a>. </p><p>There was disagreement among the Greeks as to which party violated the treaty between the <a href="/wiki/Delian_League" title="Delian League">Delian</a> and Peloponnesian Leagues, as Athens was technically defending a new ally. The Corinthians turned to Sparta for aid. Fearing the growing might of Athens and witnessing Athens' willingness to use it against the Megarians (the embargo would have ruined them), Sparta declared the treaty violated, and the Peloponnesian War began in earnest. </p><p>The first stage of the war (known as the <a href="/wiki/Archidamian_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Archidamian War">Archidamian War</a> for the Spartan king <a href="/wiki/Archidamus_II" title="Archidamus II">Archidamus II</a>) lasted until 421&#160;BC with the signing of the <a href="/wiki/Peace_of_Nicias" title="Peace of Nicias">Peace of Nicias</a>. It began with the Athenian general <a href="/wiki/Pericles" title="Pericles">Pericles</a> recommending that his city fight a defensive war, avoiding battle against the superior land forces led by Sparta, and importing everything needful by maintaining its powerful navy. Athens would simply outlast Sparta, whose citizens feared leave their city for long lest the <a href="/wiki/Helots" title="Helots">helots</a>, a subjugated population of Sparta, revolt. </p><p> This strategy required that Athens endure regular <a href="/wiki/Siege" title="Siege">sieges</a>, and in 430&#160;BC it was visited with an awful <a href="/wiki/Plague_of_Athens" title="Plague of Athens">plague that killed about a quarter of its people</a>, including Pericles. With Pericles gone, less conservative elements gained power in the city and Athens went on the offensive.

Initially, Sparta was reluctant to help Syracuse, but <a href="/wiki/Alcibiades" title="Alcibiades">Alcibiades</a>, the Athenian general who had argued for the Sicilian Expedition, defected to the Spartan cause after being accused of grossly impious acts.

The campaign ended in disaster for the Athenians. </p><p>After the Athenian defeat in Sicily, Athens' <a href="/wiki/Ionia" title="Ionia">Ionian</a> possessions rebelled with the support of Sparta, as advised by Alcibiades. In 411&#160;BC, an <a href="/wiki/Athenian_coup_of_411_BC" title="Athenian coup of 411 BC">oligarchical revolt</a> in Athens held out the chance for peace, but the Athenian navy, which remained committed to the democracy, refused to accept the change and continued fighting in Athens' name. The navy recalled Alcibiades, who had been forced to abandon the Spartan cause after reputedly seducing the wife of <a href="/wiki/Agis_II" title="Agis II">Agis II</a>, a Spartan king, and made him its head. The oligarchy in Athens collapsed and Alcibiades reconquered what had been lost for Athens. </p><p>In 407&#160;BC, Alcibiades was replaced following a minor naval defeat at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Notium" title="Battle of Notium">Battle of Notium</a>. The Spartan general <a href="/wiki/Lysander" title="Lysander">Lysander</a>, having fortified his city's naval power, began winning victory after victory. Athens won the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Arginusae" title="Battle of Arginusae">Battle of Arginusae</a> in 406&#160;BC but was prevented by bad weather from rescuing many of its sailors, leading the city to execute or exile eight of its top naval commanders. Lysander followed with a crushing blow at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Aegospotami" title="Battle of Aegospotami">Battle of Aegospotami</a> in 405&#160;BC which almost destroyed the Athenian fleet. Athens surrendered one year later, ending the Peloponnesian War and beginning a brief of period of <a href="/wiki/Spartan_hegemony" title="Spartan hegemony">Spartan hegemony</a> in Greece. </p><p>The war left devastation in its wake. Discontent with Spartan hegemony from both Athenian and former Spartan allies led to the <a href="/wiki/Corinthian_War" title="Corinthian War">Corinthian War</a> of 395–387&#160;BC. Backed by the <a href="/wiki/Achaemenid_Empire" title="Achaemenid Empire">Achaemenid Persian Empire</a>, Athens, <a href="/wiki/Thebes,_Greece" title="Thebes, Greece">Thebes</a>, Corinth, and <a href="/wiki/Argos,_Peloponnese" title="Argos, Peloponnese">Argos</a> significantly weakened Spartan military power, though unsuccessful in ending Spartan dominance. The war concluded with the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Antalcidas" class="mw-redirect" title="Treaty of Antalcidas">Treaty of Antalcidas</a> in 387&#160;BC, in which Sparta was forced to cede <a href="/wiki/Ionia" title="Ionia">Ionia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cyprus" title="Cyprus">Cyprus</a> to the <a href="/wiki/Persian_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Persian Empire">Persian Empire</a>.

Still, Greek culture flourished during this period—city-states maintained a level of political autonomy, and Roman society adopted many aspects of Greek culture.

The Romans left local administration to the Greeks without making any attempt to abolish traditional political patterns.

The importance of this decree is historical, not political. It set the basis for <a href="/wiki/Cultural_assimilation" title="Cultural assimilation">integration</a>, where the economic and judicial mechanisms of the state could be applied throughout the Mediterranean as was once done from <a href="/wiki/Latium" title="Latium">Latium</a> into all Italy.

modern-day <a href="/wiki/Istanbul" title="Istanbul">Istanbul</a>) became the central city of the empire when <a href="/wiki/Constantine_the_Great" title="Constantine the Great">Constantine the Great</a> declared <a href="/wiki/Byzantium" title="Byzantium">Byzantium</a> the new capital of the Roman Empire, renaming the city in his honor.

Assimilating the Roman tradition, the emperors sought to build the foundation for later developments and formation of the Empire. The early centuries of the Empire were marked by efforts to secure its borders and restore the Roman territories, as well as the formation and establishment of the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox_Church" title="Eastern Orthodox Church">Orthodox Church</a> and several of religious schisms following it. </p><p>In the first period of the middle Byzantine era (610–867), the empire was attacked both by old enemies (<a href="/wiki/Persian_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Persian Empire">Persians</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lombards" title="Lombards">Lombards</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pannonian_Avars" title="Pannonian Avars">Avars</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Slavs" title="Slavs">Slavs</a>) as well as by new ones (<a href="/wiki/Arabs" title="Arabs">Arabs</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bulgars" title="Bulgars">Bulgars</a>). The main characteristic of this period was instability, as enemy attacks tended to extend deep into the Empire's interior, even threatening the capital itself. </p><p>The attacks of the Slavs became less frequent as the <a href="/wiki/Slavic_migrations_to_Southeastern_Europe" class="mw-redirect" title="Slavic migrations to Southeastern Europe">Slavic migrations to Southeastern Europe</a> ended and permanent Slavic settlements and states began to form. Initially hostile to Constantinople until their <a href="/wiki/Christianization_of_the_Slavs" title="Christianization of the Slavs">Christianization</a>, the Byzantines referred to these tribes and states as <i><a href="/wiki/Sclavinia" class="mw-redirect" title="Sclavinia">Sclavinias</a></i>. </p><p>Changes also occurred in the internal structure of the empire, due to both external and internal conditions. The predominance of small free farmers, the expansion of military estates, and the development of the system of <a href="/wiki/Theme_(Byzantine_administrative_unit)" class="mw-redirect" title="Theme (Byzantine administrative unit)">themes</a> brought to completion the developments started by early Byzantine Emperors. Cultural and religious changes occurred as well. Byzantine administration and society became inseparably Greek. Additionally, the restoration of Orthodoxy after the <a href="/wiki/Byzantine_Iconoclasm" title="Byzantine Iconoclasm">iconoclast movements</a> (726–787 and 814–842) allowed the successful resumption of missionary action among neighboring peoples and their placement within the sphere of Byzantine cultural influence. During this period, the Empire was geographically reduced and economically damaged since it lost wealth-producing regions. However, it obtained greater lingual, dogmatic, and cultural homogeneity. </p><p>From the late 8th century, the Empire began to recover from the devastating impact of successive invasions, and the reconquest of the Greek peninsula began.

Many of the most important <a href="/wiki/Byzantine_churches_(buildings)" class="mw-redirect" title="Byzantine churches (buildings)">Byzantine churches</a> in and around Athens, for example, were built around this time. This artistic revival reflects the <a href="/wiki/Urbanization" title="Urbanization">urbanization</a> of Greece during this period. There was also a revival in <a href="/wiki/Mosaic" title="Mosaic">mosaic art</a>, with artists showing great interest in depicting natural landscapes with wild animals and scenes from the hunt. Mosaics became more realistic and vivid, with an increased emphasis on depicting three-dimensional forms. With its love of luxury and passion for color, the art of this age delighted in the production of masterpieces that spread the fame of Byzantium throughout the Christian world. </p><p>Beautiful <a href="/wiki/Byzantine_silk" title="Byzantine silk">silks from the workshops of Constantinople</a> portrayed animals in dazzling color, such as lions, elephants, eagles, and griffins confronting each other, or Emperors gorgeously arrayed on horseback or engaged in the chase. The eyes of many patrons were attracted and the economy of Greece grew. In the provinces, regional schools of architecture began producing many distinctive styles that drew on a range of cultural influences. All this suggests that there was an increased demand for art, with more people having access to the necessary wealth to commission and pay for such work. </p><p>Yet the marvelous expansion of Byzantine art during this period, one of the most remarkable facts in the history of the empire, did not stop there. From the 10th to the 12th century, Byzantium was the main source of artistic inspiration for the West.

Greece played a peripheral role in the <a href="/wiki/Crimean_War" title="Crimean War">Crimean War</a>. When Russia attacked the Ottoman Empire in 1853, Greek leaders saw an opportunity to expand North and South into Ottoman areas that had a Christian majority. However, Greece did not coordinate its plans with Russia, did not declare war, and received no outside military or financial support. The French and British seized its major port and effectively neutralized the Greek army. Greek efforts to cause insurrections failed as they were easily crushed by Ottoman forces. Greece was not invited to the peace conference and made no gains out of the war. The frustrated Greek leadership blamed the King for failing to take advantage of the situation; his popularity plunged and he was later forced to abdicate.

The population grew rapidly, putting heavy pressure on the system of small farms with low productivity. Overall, population density more than doubled from 41 persons per square mile in 1829 to 114 in 1912 (16 to 44 per km<sup>2</sup>). One response was emigration to the United States, with a quarter million people leaving between 1906 and 1914. Entrepreneurs found numerous business opportunities in the retail and restaurant sectors of American cities; some sent money back to their families, others returned with hundreds of dollars, enough to purchase a farm or a small business in the old village. The urban population tripled from 8% in 1853 to 24% in 1907. Athens grew from a village of 6000 people in 1834, when it became the capital, to 63,000 in 1879, 111,000 in 1896, and 167,000 in 1907.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>In Athens and other cities, men arriving from rural areas set up workshops and stores, creating a middle class. They joined with bankers, professional men, university students, and military officers, to demand reform and modernization of the political and economic system. Athens became the center of the merchant marine, which quadrupled from 250,000 tons in 1875 to more than 1,000,000 tons in 1915.

This marked the first Allied victory in the war. </p><p>Primarily to secure his strategic southern flank, German dictator <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</a> reluctantly stepped in and launched the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Greece" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Greece">Battle of Greece</a> in April 1941. Axis units from Germany, Bulgaria, and Italy successfully invaded Greece, through Yugoslavia, forcing out the Greek defenders. The Greek government eventually decided to stop the fighting and thus stopped sending ammunition and supplies to the northern front and the defenders were easily overrun. The Greek government then proceeded, as the Nazi forces came towards the capital of Athens, to leave for Crete and then Cairo, Egypt. </p><p>On 20 May 1941, the Germans attempted to <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Crete" title="Battle of Crete">seize Crete</a> with a large attack by <a href="/wiki/Paratroop" class="mw-redirect" title="Paratroop">paratroopers</a>, with the aim of reducing the threat of a counter-offensive by Allied forces in <a href="/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a>, but faced heavy resistance. The Greek campaign might have delayed German military plans against the Soviet Union, and it is argued that had the German invasion of the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a> started on 20 May 1941 instead of 22 June 1941, the Nazi assault against the Soviet Union might have succeeded. The heavy losses of German paratroopers led the Germans to launch no further large-scale air-invasions. </p><p>During the <a href="/wiki/Axis_occupation_of_Greece" title="Axis occupation of Greece">Axis occupation of Greece</a>, thousands of Greeks died in direct combat, in concentration camps, or of starvation. The occupiers murdered the greater part of the <a href="/wiki/Jews_in_Greece" class="mw-redirect" title="Jews in Greece">Jewish community</a> despite efforts by Christian Greeks to shelter the Jews. The economy was devastated, and the currency suffered one of the worst <a href="/wiki/Hyperinflation" title="Hyperinflation">hyperinflations</a> ever recorded. </p><p>When the Soviet Army began its drive across <a href="/wiki/Romania" title="Romania">Romania</a> in August 1944, the German Army in Greece began withdrawing north and northwestward from Greece into <a href="/wiki/Yugoslavia" title="Yugoslavia">Yugoslavia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Albania" title="Albania">Albania</a> to avoid being cut off in Greece. Hence, the German occupation of Greece ended in October 1944. The Resistance group <a href="/wiki/Greek_People%27s_Liberation_Army" class="mw-redirect" title="Greek People&#39;s Liberation Army">ELAS</a> seized control of Athens on 12 October 1944.

As a result, Greece also entered into an alliance with the United States and joined NATO, while relationships with its communist northern neighbours, both pro-Soviet and neutral, became strained. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Postwar_development_and_integration_in_Western_Bloc_(1949–1967)"><span id="Postwar_development_and_integration_in_Western_Bloc_.281949.E2.80.931967.29"></span>Postwar development and integration in Western Bloc (1949–1967)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=History_of_Greece&amp;action=edit&amp;section=30" title="Edit section: Postwar development and integration in Western Bloc (1949–1967)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the 1950s and 1960s, Greece developed rapidly, initially with the help of the <a href="/wiki/Marshall_Plan" title="Marshall Plan">Marshall Plan</a>'s grants and loans, also to decrease the communist influence.

The general features of the material culture of the Greek Neolithic and the genetic features of the preserved crops and associated weeds of the earliest Greek Neolithic sites point to Near Eastern origins. How these Near Eastern migrants reached Greece is a matter of speculation...Our data support the Anatolian rather than the Levantine route because they consistently show the Aegean islands to be connected to the Near East through Anatolia. Archaeological evidence from Greek and Near Eastern and Anatolian Neolithic sites suggest that multiple waves of Neolithic migrants reached Greece and Southern Europe. Most likely multiple routes were used in these migrations but, as our data show, the maritime route and island hopping was prominent."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-17"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-17">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">A comprehensive overview in J.T.
