Achaean League

The Achaean League was a confederation of Greek city-states in the northern Peloponnese, established in the 3rd century BCE. Its primary aim was to improve economic cooperation and military defense among its members. The league was notable for promoting democratic governance and shared decision-making. At its peak, it included major cities like Corinth and Argos. The Achaean League played a significant role in the political landscape of ancient Greece, often clashing with rival powers, including Sparta and eventually Rome, which led to its decline by the end of the 2nd century BCE.
