Answers
Answer:
hey sis/bro heres ur ans....
Explanation:
The Greeks began founding colonies as far back as 900 to 700 B.C.E. These colonies were founded to provide a release for Greek overpopulation, land hunger, and political unrest. Iron tools and new farming techniques allowed the Greeks to farm larger pieces of land. But as farms got bigger, they got more crowded. Soon there was not enough land for everyone living in Greece. Colonies were a solution to this problem.
Most of the Greek colonies were founded on the shores of the Mediterranean and Black Seas. These colonies were relatively easy to reach for the seafaring Greeks. And since the climate and land was similar to that of Greece, the colonists could lead a life very similar to the one they would have had back home.
hope it helps my bro/sis
Answer:
Greeks created settlements along the Aegean coast of Ionia (or Asia Minor) from the 8th century BCE. Important colonies included Miletos, Ephesos, Smyrna, and Halikarnassos. Athens traditionally claimed to be the first colonizer in the region which was also of great interest to the Lydians and Persians.
