Spartans mostly focused on trade and wealth but had to have war in order to gain it. Sparta was harsh and even cruel. The Spartans themselves were tough, silent, and grim. Sparta's army easily equaled that of Athens' in the 400's B. C.. However, Sparta never came close to equaling Athens' others achievement's.
In its early days, Sparta was similar to other Greek cities. Then, in the 600s BC, wars inside and outside the city led to changes in the government and the way people lived. The changes turned Sparta into a powerful war machine. The city-state established one basic rule: Always put the city's need above your own.
