Plus the rulers of sparta were always weary of an uprising from the heliots (slaves) since they outnumbered the Spartan population.
Slaves were prisoners.

Different Spartans: "I need a weapon." "Right this way."
When Philip, father of Alexander the Great threatened to invade Sparta, he sent them a letter saying: "You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city."

Something I've always wondered: how did Sparta become so brutally obsessed with creating warriors that distinguished them from other city states? Was there a defining event that made them like this?
Idk man... I guess they just wanted to be op so they are more than safe in a war situation and nobody can conquer them
Spartans are the descendants of other Greeks living in Crete, the minoans. The most probable reason for the military focused city state would be thst they had tried other ruling methods before that didn't work and they experimented with something more brutal
I belive they wanted to conquer the near citys or like a threath idk if i spealth it wronh sorry my english is bad as i was saying maybe if they dint conquer them they may launch an attack
Some centuries before creation of Sparta and Athens there was only two civilizations: Minoan in Crete and cycladic in Southern Aegean Islands but after the volcano of Santorini exploded both civilizations destroyed. All the survivors from Minoan went to Sparta and the survivors from cycladic in Athens. Then the whole pelloponesse belonged to Sparta but local revolts made 6 kingdoms except Sparta (Ilia,Arkadia,Argolida,Achaea,Corinth and
Messinia) .This whole situation drove Spartans crazy and started to have strict rules as a result to reconquer the whole Peloponnese except the lands of Corinth and ome Northern parts of Argolida and then fought with Athens, Corinth and Corfu they lost, Macedonia conquered Athens and Sparta became bigger and free again and some years after Rome came and destroyed Sparta and the Remaining parts of Macedonia
(When I mean Macedonia I mean the Ancient Greek civilization not the Slavic country who got its name cause romans named the whole region province of Macedonia)
War.
Me: Hears 300
My Brain: This is SPARTAAAAAA
Sparta: “There is no inequality”
Also Sparta: “Only slaves should do that work”
Zee Slaves were not entirely African. They could be considered spoils of war. They were all nationalities.
I did a video proving that slavery isn't wrong, and that atheists are hypocrites for condoning it when it suits them.
"Every free citizen was equal."
There were No inequality for the Spartans, everyone else was eligible for slavery

Philip: If I invade Laconia, you will be destroyed, never to rise again.
Spartans: Persian, come and get them!
Philip: Huh?
Thing is though, Philip II did invade Laconia - he just didn't conquer it as he had no need to. Instead he sent his army on a rampage across Laconia and razed the countryside to the ground while the Spartans - knowing that they would lost an one-on-one confrontation with the Macedonian army - remained in Sparta itself and watched as their kingdom was set on fire.
It's funny because Sparta at this point was an unimportant backwater that didn't have anything but its reputation.
Alexander himself responded by declaring that his conquest had been done by all the Greeks except the Spartans.

What?
Phenomenal video!!! The animation is really good. Man, life as a soldier, and as a Spartan citizen as a whole (including slaves) would have been horrible!!! This video really takes out the veil of glamour around spartan society and shows how brutal and cruel it actually was.
That being said, how they maintained their soldiers on peak form was really impressive, they weren't simply barbarian people, they emphasized strategy, stealthiness and creativity to achieve goals, as well as an unrelenting preparation. This idea of training so hard that war is easier is brilliant! Probably the essence of preparation.
They either died at war or were given slaves and land to live on and create families. Their sons were dragged out of the house at very early ages so the nest could be empty again and they could literally do nothing all day every day.. War was a holiday and death was an honor and if you made it back you lived like a king? Versus war being awful and your death among the masses was meaningless and if you made it back you lived like the peasant you were…

Their living style and way of fighting were so impressive. Close combat with spears and shields. There was no archery or any other ranged weapon in their inventory. One of the mighties, bravest warrior nation in history. It always fascinates me to hear or read stories and tales about them.
They carried javelins, so they did have ranged weapons
@@hmad898 Spartiates were armed as Hoplites. They used a dory spear, a kopis sword, an aspis shield, greaves, and a bronze cuirass or linothorax. Javelineers in Spartan service were either mercenaries, perioikoi (dwellers around), or helots (slaves).
The Phalanx formation ended up propelling their downfall, after the Battle of Leuctra. The Thebans, like most of Greece, had innovated, and Sparta’s hoplite system was no longer effective enough

Most Amazing and Best Infographic Show.
Resting during war time is actually a great strategy. Rigorous training can build strength and endurance but the muscles break down during exercise so rest allows them to rebuild and recover. By resting during times of war you conserve your energy for battle and allow the body to heal in between. If you’re well trained already, war time training is more about strategy and maintenance on what has already been built in times of peace.

Facts
@commander Wolffe yep and dr. Halsey knew this. In the UNSC Greek and Roman combat has been indoctrinated into the military. The Romans and the Greeks have led to modern democracy and the UNSC was built on the foundation of democracy. The UNSC was founded by the United Nations. So a lot of UNSC military training is based off of Greek and Roman warfare. This was not even limited to the Spartan programs.

Sparta only had about 8,000 adult men when Athens had around 150,000. It wasn't really their choice to be a warrior class city state, it was a question of survival.
Wrong.they had eight thousand hoplites from the city of Sparta itself.from the Laconia region with a general mobilisationhad another forty thousand.
Survival of the fittest
lol their history says they came from the asiatic greek countries and the sons of hercules and set up sparta......they were always warriors and it had very little to do with necessity....
Probably didn't help that they were killing their babies
