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.

The first commercial post was established in Syria, and then the first colonial city-state was established in Italy. Later, colonial activities spread to Spain, France and Asia Minor.

The immigrant city is called the sub-state, and the sub-state and the home country have equal status and trade with each other to 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. Then he conquered the whole Italian peninsula by force, and then he conquered Greece, North Africa and other regions 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 had to pay heavy taxes for every civil right.

Therefore, the Greek colonial way is only for the survival (cultivated land, trade) with the peaceful colonial nature of immigrants, and the status of sub-countries and mother countries is equal. Rome, on the other hand, was a brutal and greedy military conquest, and the conquered land was unequal to the Roman residents.
