The correct answer is "to get the resources they needed to survive."

The ancient Greek city-states needed to conquer, colonize, and trade with others primarily to acquire the necessary resources for their survival. This is because Greece had limited fertile land and natural resources, such as timber, metals, and agricultural products. Conquering and colonizing allowed them to expand their territories and access new sources of these vital resources. Additionally, trading with other regions enabled the city-states to acquire goods that were not locally available. This was crucial for their economic prosperity and overall well-being.
