Change in Greek government

Explain the process by which Governments in Greece changed from monarchies to various other forms(in many cases eventually becoming democracies) during the Archaic Era. (1-2 paragraphs)

The power change started with limited monarchy as kings. The king then was overthrown and the nation would move to aristocracy oligarchy. Then the aristocratic people's would be overthrown by tyrants. From there it was a short jump from that to democracy. Instead of the lower class putting all trust in one tyrant, they put power in themselves, thus making the new government a democracy.

Athens vs. Sparta

Was the war between Athens and Sparta inevitable? Why, or why not?

I would have to say it was not inevitable. In all reality, the entire war was gust for one woman named Helen. If Paris had not taken Helen from Menelaus, the war would not have happened. Although it is small, and it just takes a small act such as this to light the fires of war, it could easily have been avoided.
