How did geography affect the Greeks?

Answer 1

It effected the trade and travel.The mountains in the area made it very difficult for travel, it could take days! The mountains also made it hard to combine all of Greece's communities (small settlements) together. The seas were actually a very good thing in Greece. Since Greece's land was not fertile enough, they had to fish instead, so Greeks were known for being fisherman back then. The only thing that Greeks grew back then were olives.

Answer 2

Geography greatly influenced Greece by creating a rugged landscape with mountains and islands that isolated cities, leading to the development of independent city-states. The seas facilitated trade, while the lack of fertile land encouraged maritime activities and colonization. The mild climate also allowed for outdoor activities and a focus on physical fitness.

Answer 3

They were more independent. There is very limited arable land in Greece. The Ancient Greeks became very proficient sea travelers and developed colonies all over the Mediterranean Sea in an effort to increase their food supply. As a result of the geography, the Greeks were regional cultures that developed into independent city-states.

Answer 4

Mountains are ill-suited for farming, and so unlike the Middle East, Greece did not have a large amount of agriculture, causing settlements to be sparse and spread apart. Land travel was difficult, making trade focus along the sea and rivers.

The rough terrain led to the development of the hoplite; unlike their neighbors, the Macedonians, to the north, the Greeks never developed mounted cavalry, as large numbers of horses could not be supported in the rough hills.

Answer 5

The patches of fertile land between the mountains were settled by the migrating Greek peoples. In each site, the settlers established a city, and this became an independent city-state. As the mounting populations became more than a city could sustain, they sent out the surplus people th establish new cities. The Greek world spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, eventually numbering about 2,000 city-states.
