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.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. So, without a central government, there was no plan to create a big empire, as we often imagine with respect to Ancient Greece.
Detailed explanation-3: -Peloponnesian War, (431–404 bce), war fought between the two leading city-states in ancient Greece, Athens and Sparta. Each stood at the head of alliances that, between them, included nearly every Greek city-state.
