Troy, which was considered eligible in the Dardanelles, must be at the same time, threatening progress weary Greeks virtually all trade with civilized Europe. Proof of this, there are thousands. It has found the remains of Mycenaean influence throughout southern Europe, Asia Minor and even on land currently in Russia. The ships left Mycenaean Greek ports loaded with luxurious ceramics, metals, weapons, oils and ointments and returned laden gold, ivory, precious fabrics and glass paste in a continuous marketing that made the Eastern Mediterranean in a real commercial highway. It was clear that the point of view Mycenaean Troyes. And the Trojans, they should think the same about the Greeks. This was therefore the main reason for conflict.
All peoples of Greece, united under the command of Agamemnon, had declared war on Troy to be a powerful city, was perfectly well defended and able to overcome them. If you are certain the 10-year war as Homer says, most likely not be continued (as mentioned in the Iliad), but a succession of attacks or offensive which eventually tamed power, the proud city . Losing Troy, the Greeks should have started to expand unhindered up to the control of international trade. Archaeological discoveries have even strangers helped to clarify points such as the dress of their armies, the weapons they used and how the fortresses, ships, and various circumstances of the conflict. However, what remains a mystery is the decline and subsequent destruction of Mycenae, perhaps killed by the "Sea Peoples", a civilization that has no reference and that even today, is a great enigma. The Mycenaean Greeks who destroyed Troy were crushed by an invading wave that wiped all traces of their civilization. The great Mycenaean fortified palaces as Tiryns or Mycenae were raided and destroyed, people scattered, the fields were abandoned, the area was deserted and even the writing is lost. Only the Mycenaean citadel of Athens, perched atop the Acropolis resisted destruction. Everything else was ruined. Greece was plunged into a Dark Ages that lasted over 400 years. If there was a winner of the contest, in short, no doubt it was these "Sea Peoples." But even that is still under investigation.
