Possibly the first people in modern day Greece. They settled on the island of Crete. The Minoans also had a very strong navy and an impeccable trade system. The city of Knossos was the capital city of Minoa. Also the Minoans were very athletic and peaceful, their cities did not have many fortifications.

The Myceneans were Indo-Europeans who settled on the Greek mainland around 2000 bc. They created a capital city called Mycenae, unlike Knossos (the Minoan capital) the city was heavily fortified. A very famous piece of the fortification was the "Lion's Gate". The "Lion's Gate" was a large gate to the city. It was the first large scale sculpture in Europe. It was so large that the legend says that it was built by giant cyclopes. The Myceneans went without trade for years, but after the saw the value of it they became very wealthy off of it, they soon dominated trade over the Minoans. But sadly in 1200 bc the civilization falls and the cities are burnt to the ground by unknown sea raiders.

The Western empire falls due to internal and external problems. An internal problem was the lack of control of the population. Rome got so big that it was almost impossible to spread of all of the power evenly throughout the empire. An external problem was the The Germanic tribes and the Huns were constantly terrorizing the borders. Which then made the borders a lot more densely populated.
