The geographic setting of Greece, characterized by its mountainous terrain and numerous islands, fostered the development of independent city-states, or polis. The rugged landscapes made land travel difficult, leading communities to form around sheltered valleys and Coastlines rather than unifying into a single political entity. Each city-state, such as Athens and Sparta, developed its own government, culture, and identity, often competing with one another for resources and influence. This fragmentation allowed for a rich diversity of political systems and cultural practices across ancient Greece.
