Two significant geographic features that separated the Greek city-states were mountains and the sea. The rugged mountain ranges divided communities, making it difficult for them to unite politically and fostering the development of independent city-states. Additionally, the extensive coastline and numerous islands facilitated maritime trade and communication but also contributed to the isolation of these city-states from one another.
The historical background of geography dates back to ancient civilizations, with early contributions from the Greeks, such as Eratosthenes, who coined the term "geography" and calculated the Earth's circumference. The Roman Empire further advanced geographic knowledge through extensive mapping and documentation of their territories. During the Middle Ages, Islamic scholars preserved and enhanced geographic knowledge, leading to the development of detailed maps. The Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries marked a significant turning point, as European explorers expanded geographic understanding through their discoveries of new lands and cultures.
Greece was separated by short mountain ranges blocking off any influence from other societies. Because they were isolated they formed their own city-states. This means that cities governed themselves. Because of the poor soil most Greeks became traders and sailors. Trading was a big economy in Greece.
