League
An association of Greek city-states under the leadership of Athens
Real World Example
The league, particularly the Delian League, was important because it united Greek city-states for mutual protection against common enemies like Persia. This alliance highlighted tensions between cooperation and autonomy, as Athens eventually dominated the league, leading to discontent among other city-states. These tensions reflect modern issues like balancing national interests with international cooperation, seen in organizations like the United Nations. For people today, the idea of working together for common goals while respecting individual freedoms is crucial in communities, workplaces, and countries. For example, when students collaborate on group projects, they must balance teamwork with individual contributions, similar to how city-states navigated their roles in the league.
