The hilly, pebbled landscape of Greece made it difficult for the Ancient Greeks to travel over land as well as grow crops.

As a result, the Greeks developed individual city-states, rather then one unified Greek empire.

The difficulty of travel also meant that ideas and traditions developed in certain regions of Greece could not spread to to others, leading to vastly different cultures , a great example being those of Athens and Sparta.

The terrain's inability to be cultivated meant that the Ancient Greeks were forced to travel by sea to find other places they could trade with for resources, leading to the great seafaring tradition Greece maintains to this day.

Olive trees, still strongly associated with the country even now, were the main thing that could be grown on the land, the Ancient Greeks were forced to trade with places such as the Ancient Middle East and North Africa, including the kingdom of Egypt, for necessities. This gave the Greeks high levels of exposure to other cultures, something that was not too common in those times.

Why did Greeks create democracy?

First of all, we should note that only Athens and a few other Ancient Greek city-states were ever democracies. The vast majority of Ancient Greece was ruled by monarchies or oligarchies and not by elections.However, Ancient Greece was the first place that a form of government in which the governed needed to consent to laws and norms, e.g. a democracy, took root. As a result, people, appropriately call it the first democracy.
