Sparta!

1. cloomenes was a king that came in after the former king leonidas was exiled from sparta.

2. the Battle of Thermopylae took place at about 480 BC between the spartan and persian armys. the persians had many men where the spartans had only 300. the spartans may have won if it wearnt for a physically disabled man who tryed to join their army. after they rejected him he went to the persians and gave them vital information to winning the war.

3. the main contributing factor that lead to the fall of sparta was their lack of numbers and manpower. they fought many wars valiantly and won but a few to many. the main reason for their lack of numbers was the fact that they were to picky with who they would let join their army.
