Greek Inventions

The ancient Greeks were some of the most advanced people in the ancient world. This was because of their administrative innovations and new technology. These things were also what made the Greek empire possible.
The Greek empire was able to expand because very strong militarily, which was directly related to their excellent new technology, innovative fighting styles, the best cavalry in the ancient world, and the best navy in the ancient world. The Greeks used their innovative fighting style against all enemies with great success. They would fight in a formation called the phalanx, in which the men would form in rows, with the front row creating a wall with their shields, and all of the rows behind would put their shields over the top

Some of their city-states were the first known democracies, and the empire worked sort of like modern day USA. Each Greek city-state was independent and had its own government, but the whole empire would bind together into a strong group during a time of invasion or other trouble. This administrative system was very strong, although occasionally, when times of external threats were over, these city states would join together into leagues, or alliances, and fight with each

Greeks created algebra, geometry, and philosophy. The Greek astronomers also learned a lot about the planets and the stars, and, although they were ultimately wrong about the sun going around the earth, they made many important discoveries in the field of astronomy, and passed all this important information on to later astronomers like Kepler and Galileo. If the Greeks had not made all of their innovations, and had their advanced technology, these important subjects may very well not have ever been created, and would not be taught to children in school all over the world
