Affirmer sa puissance par la mer

| Shrnutí: | One of the consequences of the Peloponnesian War was the development of a large-scale naval policy by two land‑based powers: Sparta and the Boeotian League. At the time of their respective hegemonies (404-371 and 371-362 BC), they had to turn to the sea to counter the power that Athens wielded, thus putting an end to the ingrained division between hegemony on land (Sparta) and hegemony on the sea (Athens). This necessity led Sparta and Boeotia to adapt to this new context: the surveillance of strategic locations and naval warfare were now at the heart of their concerns. This book examines the ways and means of adaptation to deal with the constraints of a land-based power and the implementation of a naval policy. What resources in terms of money, men, and materials were needed to build and maintain fleets and military ports? What was the layout of urban sites near the sea? What role did they play in the development of navigation? Such changes led to a new type of control over road networks and the territory. The question of the hierarchical organization of the fleet is also raised. Moreover, the development of strategic locations as part of a naval policy led to the creation of new international relations. Through an analysis of these changes, this work shows how land powers were able to develop a new naval policy and hence play a central role in the Aegean world. |
