Answer 1

Option D, It dominated the Aegean world through warfare, is the right answer.

This Mycenaean civilization was a Bronze Age civilization, which flourished in Greece, around 1600- 1100 BCE. Until they conquered Crete, they lived under the dominance of the people of the Minoan civilization. In or around the year 1600 BCE, a volcanic eruption took place on the land near Crete, which devastated the Minoan civilization. This situation led the Mycenaean to oust the Minoans and succeed them as the authoritative culture on the land.
