        Delian League
        
        The Delian league strengthened the power of Athens, many city-states fear Athens because of its power and prestige, which caused the relationship between Athens and other city-states to change from an alliance into conqueror and conquered, leading Athens to rule other city-states and join other city-states into the Athenian Empire.
        
        This will later result in a civil war known as the Peloponnesian war, as Athens broke the rules of the league and which made the other city-state that is also very powerful, Sparta very angry.
        
        After the Persian wars, the Greeks found that they can work together, so they decided to form a league to help each other. Athens made the league and it’s known as the Delian league since they store all the money together on an island called Delos.

        Twelve Tables
        
        The Twelve Tables solved this problem from some level, the Twelve Tables were passed by the Patricians around 450 BC, and they established fundamental rights and duties for Roman citizens. It is the first legal code of the Roman Republic it is also a sign that the Roman Republic comes.
        
        This is the start of the Roman Republic, during the Republic period, Romans continued to conquer and expand their territory, while Rome it self becomes more and more powerful.
        
        Patricians are wealthy landowners, which mostly got government positions, Plebeians are normal citizen which got no government positions but are allowed to vote. After Rome conquer more and more territory, more "trophies" start to appear, such as slaves, the wealthy people (Patricians) can afford slaves, but the Plebeians can not, slaves can grow more crops, which cause the Plebeians to lose their competitive advantage, this made the relationship between the two social class tenser.

        Peloponnesian war
        
        The war also is connected to how Philip II conquered Greece, a main reason that he can do that is that this war weakened the entire whole of Greece, from both military and wealth, which later causes Philip II to conquer Greece that easily.
        
        Both sides used robust strategies to put the other to devastation, burning out a tremendous amount of supply for war. Additionally, a plague in Athens as an incident with the Peloponnesian War, made the Athenians feel worse. And during the Plague, their leader Pericles died as well.
        
        Athens wanted the money which all Greeks stored together on the island called Delos, which can make Athens even stronger and become the most powerful city-state in Greece, even if it can make the other city-state frustrated, Athenians still bring the money back to Athens.

        Philip II conquer Greece
        
        Philip's conquers greatly influenced his son, Alexander, enabling him to continue his dream of conquering the world and establishing an empire.
        
        After conquering the land around Macedonia, Philip conquered Greece. He got a well-trained army, he also figured out a tactic of combining cavalry and infantry, and he also liked to use catapults, and rams to smash and damage through gates. In addition, the greeks had not yet recovered from the Peloponnesian war, as a result, Philip completed his conquest of Greece at 338BC
        
        Philip II was kept as a hostage at Thebes, one of the Greek city-state when he was young, this caused him to have a lot of observation of military tactics, which gave him knowledge for him to become a military genius when he was 23, he became the king of the country called Macedonia, he wanted to build an empire including the Greeks and even farther east.
