The lack of a central unified government in Canaan allowed the Israelites to exploit divisions among the Canaanite city-states, making it easier for them to conquer territories. Without a strong, coordinated defense, Canaanite cities were often unable to unite against the Israelite incursions, leading to fragmented resistance. This disunity meant that the Israelites could strategically select targets and advance their settlement efforts more effectively. Additionally, it facilitated the establishment of tribal alliances and local governance structures among the Israelites, reinforcing their identity and cohesion as they settled in the region.
