Detailed explanation-1: -Greek city-states likely developed because of the physical geography of the Mediterranean region. The landscape features rocky, mountainous land and many islands. These physical barriers caused population centers to be relatively isolated from each other. The sea was often the easiest way to move from place to place.
Detailed explanation-2: -The country’s mountainous terrain, many isolated valleys, and numerous offshore islands encouraged the formation of many local centers of power, rather than one all-powerful capital. Another key factor influencing the formation of city-states rather than kingdoms was the Mediterranean.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greece was a mainly mountainous landscape, with the Pindus Mountains and Mount Olympus, surrounded by water on three sides by the Ionian Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Aegean Sea. This meant that the Greek city-states of Ancient Greece were separated by mountains and water.
Detailed explanation-4: -The geography of ancient Greece provided natural barriers such as mountains, coastland, and islands which aided in the formation of independent city-states.
Detailed explanation-5: -The geography of Greece did not influence the formation of independent city-states. The Greeks developed the modern concept of citizenship. In most city-states, only land-owning males could be citizens. What is one thing that the Aegean Sea did to help develop the Ancient Greece?
