Iron Age Wars

The Iron Age, roughly from 1200 BCE to 600 CE, saw many conflicts shaped by developing societies, new technologies, and territorial ambitions. Iron weapons and tools revolutionized warfare, making armies more effective. Key conflicts included the Greek city-states' struggles during the Peloponnesian War and the expansion of empires like Rome and Persia. These wars often reflected broader social changes, such as the rise of kingdoms and trade routes. The outcomes influenced political boundaries, cultural exchanges, and the rise and fall of civilizations, setting the stage for future eras in history.
