Answer 1

The best description of the downfall of Greek city-states is "prolonged war."

Prolonged wars, such as the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, significantly weakened the Greek city-states. Continuous conflicts drained resources, weakened political structures, and left the city-states vulnerable to external conquests, such as the Macedonian and later Roman invasions.
