Why did Athens become a center for wealth and trade?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Athens became a center for trade and wealth because of its prime location along the Mediterranean trade route, early use of democracy, and the lack of fertile farming land, which in turn pushed the citizens to become merchants/traders. They also were successful in keeping what was theirs with a strong army and powerful leaders. This growth of power was continuous since they set out on a conquering sprees and created many new dependent colonies. Pericles, a highly influential statesman, supported and saw the power held Athens held. After seeing how victorious and affluent the city was becoming, he decided to put the treasury of the leagues in Athens. This solidified the prominence of Athens in the Grecian economy.

How could one enter a higher caste? in the caste system

Answers

Explanation:

The Indians believed that they could attain a higher caste position by leading a good life. This belief was derived from the Hindu religious teachings of reincarnation. They also believed that they could be reincarnated into the body of an insect if they did not lead a good life in their current position.
