Notes:
- Obviously a lot of history is lost and while some dates are amazingly precise, others are vague and had to be estimated.
- Technically all the city-states were their own "kingdoms" in a way, but there was no way I could map all several hundred of them.
- Most kingdoms were really one city-state dominated others and making them vassals rather than outright conquest.
