Detailed explanation-1: -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 mountains isolated Greeks from one another, which caused Greek communities to develop their own way of life. Greece is made up of many mountains, isolated valleys, and small islands. This geography prevented the Greeks from building a large empire like that of Egypt or Mesopotamia.
Detailed explanation-3: -There were different city-states in Ancient Greece, and it was not considered to be one big country. Each of these city-states had different leaders and because of this, many of the areas would go to war.
Detailed explanation-4: -Second, Greece’s mountainous terrain led to the development of the polis (city-state), beginning about 750 B.C.E. The high mountains made it very difficult for people to travel or communicate. Therefore, each polis developed independently and, often, very differently from one another.
