greek communities were often separated by mountains or other natural barriers which led to isolationism. thus, greek communities had individual governments and unique customs which led to separate identities and inhibited unity. also the greek city-states were frequently at war with each other which led to an even greater distrust of foreigners. in addition until Philip II Greece had never been unified by one government.
