It is False that Athens became militaristic and Sparta became democratic.

The roles in the question are mixed up because it was Athens that:

  • placed emphasis on gaining new ideas
  • engaged in trade
  • moved towards a democracy

The Spartans on the other hand, operated an autarkic society where they were closed off from the rest of the world and placed strong values on their military.

They also had a ruling aristocracy that made all the decisions and did not consult the citizens.

In conclusion, Athens was more democratic and Sparta was more closed down and repressive.
