Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Though the Greek city-states were fiercely independent, these city states did have many things in common. 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.
