Key Strategies Check

Description

This resource explores the strategic innovations employed by Sparta that contributed to its victory over Athens in the Peloponnesian War. It specifically highlights two key strategies: the fortification of Decelea, which allowed Sparta to establish a permanent military presence that hindered Athenian access to resources, and the negotiation of naval support from Persia, which enabled Sparta to build a fleet capable of defeating the Athenian navy. Through an analysis of these innovations, students will understand their impact on Athenian economics and the overall shift in the war dynamic. The learning objectives aim to enhance students' comprehension of historical military strategies and their consequences.
