Question 3 • 2025-2026_MDCPS_2109010-M/J World History Sem 2-CR

How did geography impact Sparta’s military tactics during the Peloponnesian War?

Answer
A
Sparta did not have to worry about an invasion because it was located on top of a mountain.
B
Athens was located on an island, forcing the Spartans to use many ships to transport its army.
C
The stronghold of the Delian League was on Delos, requiring Sparta to have a strong navy.
D
Athens's location made it difficult to attack, forcing the Spartans to destroy farmland and crops.

Explanation

Athens was protected by its Long Walls, which connected the city to the port of Piraeus and made it difficult for Sparta to capture by land. Sparta therefore invaded Attica repeatedly and devastated farmland and crops, hoping to pressure Athens into fighting or surrendering. Athens was not an island, so choice B is incorrect.
