Conclusion
Sparta overall was more important polis than Athens because they had better education, social class benefits, and they had the best form of government. In 10th century Dorians moved into lesonia a part of southern greece. They conquered the native residence and decided to found the polis of sparta. Soon the spartans decided to conquer the nearby polis of messenia. This caused sparta to be one of the largest greek polises. This gave them fertile land and had enough food because of that. Soon the spartans were defeated in a war against argos. Then the messenians unfortunately decided to resist Sparta. Sparta had a large history but it's different from the other city states because of its education for boys and girls that were the opposite of Athen’s education, its social class benefits have more power than others which have less power in Athens, and the government had more power than Athens.
