Can someone give me a brief summary about thebes and Sparta GREECE?
i can answer correctly only about Sparta. the town is heard for the first time from ancient Achaioi and its king Menelaos and his queen Helen of Troy, which is considered as the reason of the Troyan War. That era ended when Dorians came from the north and the new era starts. It is known as the Sparta of King Leonidas, as a very strict city where the Spartan's proffession is simply war ( ex. wars with the Persians), that era ends when Sparta is occupied by Alexander the great. in between there was the Peloponnesean war between Sparta and Athens and their allies and the defeat of Athens. Practically both of them lost. That is the reason why it was occupied by Alexander the great sice they were coming from a 30-year-old war. Long after Macedonians came the Romans and I think that is very very shortly the history of Sparta. Thebes is a city with common background as Sparti. it is close to Athens and it was one of their rivals In about 379/8 bc Thebes broke free of Spartan oppression and undertook a war with Sparta in that ultimately led to Sparta's fall, after which Sparta allied with Athens and waged war with Thebes and brought Thebes back down.
What cause the people of Athens to join forces with their rival city-statesparatain 480 bc?
Sparta and Athens were not rivals in 480 BCE - that came more than 30 years afterwards when the threat of Persia subsided. Sparta had promised to help them against the Persian attack on Athens in 490 BCE, but its army had arrived on the battlefield at Marathon too late. They remained on good terms and were natural allies in the Persian invasion in 480-479 BCE, providing the two largest contingents to the southern Greek coalition, led by Sparta, which repelled the invasion. Even if Athens had not been friendly with Sparta, it had no choice because it was a prime target of the Persian invasion and needed all the help it could get. It was not a case of Athens joining force with Sparta, it was Athens seeking the help of Sparta and its allies. They remained close allies for another 20 years, Athens helping Sparta put down a rebellion in its territory. They fell out when Athens started interfering in the affairs of the Peloponnesian League cities (which Sparta led) and Athens ignored Sparta's appeal to back off, leading to an all-out war.
