The fact that the Greek city states developed on the basis of an unfree population sharpened the conflict among the various factions of the small city citizen body, especially between the aristocratic and democratic groups, and added internal to national disunity'. Violent competition for the hegemony of Greece and for power within the city state led to constant warfare, until the Greek city states succumbed to the Macedonian conquerors (338 B.C.). The weak remnants of local independence granted by the Macedonian kings were finally lost when the Romans defeated the last alliance of Greek states in 146 B.C. |
