The geographical features of the Aegean Basin, including its mountains, seas, islands, harbors, peninsulas, and straits, significantly influenced Greek economic, social, and political development. The rugged terrain limited agricultural expansion and encouraged the establishment of independent city-states (poleis) that fostered local governance and trade. The numerous islands and natural harbors facilitated maritime trade and colonization, allowing Greeks to establish trade networks and settlements across the Mediterranean. This geography not only shaped economic practices but also promoted cultural exchange and competition among city-states, leading to diverse social structures and political systems.
The Mountains influenced Greek history, because they seperated Greeks from each other.

Colonization
The political entities of Africa decreased by the colonization of the Eurpeon countries and America (The political entities are the native countries that had retained their independance during the orignal colonization in 1880). Eventually only 3% of African still held independent countries by 1914. The other countries lost their rights and freedmon to other countries.
Latin America was often seen as a region on the periphery of the global economy and power structure, with many countries experiencing a history of colonization, exploitation, and internal political instability. This has resulted in challenges related to economic development, social inequality, and political influence on the global stage.
Colonization supported increased economic and political power of the colonizing countries. this was important as the European countries were competing intensely with each other.
