The Greek landscape of fertile plains hemmed in by mountains and waterways promoted independent settlements which developed citadels for defense, and these citadels developed into cities, which had their own government, and so were independent city-states.

Some city-states were located near the Mediterranean Sea which helped them to develop trade within that sea as far west as Sicily ans Southern Italy.

What geological features led the Ancient Greeks to create city states?

The Ancient Greeks developed city-states primarily due to the region's mountainous terrain and its fragmented coastline. The mountains acted as natural barriers, isolating communities and fostering the growth of independent city-states (poleis) rather than a unified empire. Additionally, the numerous harbors and islands encouraged maritime trade and communication, allowing these city-states to thrive economically while maintaining distinct identities and governance. This geographical division contributed to a culture of competition and rivalry among the various city-states.
