Detailed explanation-1: -They worshipped the same gods, they spoke the same language, and they had the same cultural background. And in times of foreign invasion (such as the Persian wars), they would band together to fight a common foe.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mountains of Ancient Greece separated people geographically. Because of this, Greek city-states tended to be isolated from one another. This meant that societies grew and developed independently. City-states had their own governments.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mountains and the sea cut off Greek centers of population from one another; such geographic barriers led the Greeks to organize many independent “city-states”. Each city-state was called a “polis”. The first loyalty of the people was not to Greece as a nation but to their own city-state.
Detailed explanation-4: -Communities were separated by mountains, hills, and water. Rather than a unified nation, Ancient Greece was more like a network of communities with a shared religion and language that sometimes led to a sense of common belonging.
