In what way did ancient Greece colonize?

First, the main way: "peace and equality"

The ancient Greek city-states appeared in the 8th century BC, when the local population of Greece increased, due to the mountainous areas, thin land and insufficient cultivated land. Therefore, in order to solve the livelihood problem of the polis, they had to colonize overseas to obtain the means of production.

Syria established the first commercial post, and then Italy successively established the first colonial city-states. Later, colonial activities spread to Spain, France and Asia Minor.

The immigrant city is called Asia, and Asia and the home country have equal status, trade with each other and promote each other's development.

Second, the difference with ancient Rome.

Ancient Rome rose around the sixth century BC, and its control area was only a small area in central Italy. Later, it conquered the whole Italian peninsula by force, and then it still conquered Greece and North Africa by force.

After Rome conquered the Mediterranean region, the status of the conquered region was often lower than that of Rome itself, and the residents of the conquered region paid heavy taxes for every citizenship.

Therefore, the Greek colonial way is only to seek survival (cultivated land, trade) and peaceful colonization with the nature of immigration. The status of the mother country and the resident country is equal, while Rome is embodied in brutal and greedy military conquest, and the conquered land is unequal to the Roman residents.
