Greece was a civilization that needed to trade to develop itself. Greeks surfed tle Mediteranean Sea since centuries ago and They knew all you have to know of this skill. They searched , mainly, metals.
When They arrived to an interesting place they could create a colony. This was a city , like a greek polis, that depended on one greek polis ( metropoli ) but beteen two cities, metropoli and colony, only existed a trade agreement. This system as well let send people who didn't have job or house or opportunities to grow in the polis and the government found a solution with this emigration.
Greeks expanded by different teritories and established many colonies such a Empòriom, Massàlia o Rhodes. The three most important areas taht Greek colonized were Magna Italy ( south of Italy ), East of Iberian Peninsula, South of France and areas near Black Sea.
Greeks brought language, culture, religion and arts but, besides, they took new tools or method to improve their production, economic or social systems.
