The Geography of Ancient Greece had a significant impact on its development. Greece is a mountainous country made up of over 2000 seperate islands. The geography of Ancient Greece made it impossible for one ruler to rule the entire country. As a result many independant communities called city-states developed. Each city state had it own leader and a unique culture.
* Regents question
What effect did the geography of ancient Greece have on its early development?
(1) The mountainous terrain led to the creation of independent city-states.
(2) A lack of natural seaports limited com- munication.
(3) An inland location hindered trade and colonization.
(4) Abundant natural resources encouraged self- sufficiency.
