    Ancient Greece was geographically divided by mountain ranges, which led to independent city-states. Two important early civilizations were the Minoans and Mycenaeans. The Greeks later fought the Trojan War and the Persian Wars to defend themselves against invasion. Athens and Sparta emerged as the dominant city-states, with Athens establishing the foundations of democracy during its Golden Age under Pericles and Sparta developing an oligarchic government. The Persian Wars helped unite the Greeks against a common foreign threat but also led to infighting, such as the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta that weakened Greece.
