How did geography contribute to Greece's development as a group of individual city-states? Being near the Aegean Sea forced the Greeks to work together in small city-states. The nearby ocean allowed citizens to travel to other islands to develop their own city-states. The Pindus Mountains split the land into two main areas, which caused the development of two city - states. The rugged mountains and numerous bays divided Greece into small isolated regions.

Answer: The rugged mountains and numerous bays divided Greece into small isolated regions.

Explanation:

In ancient Greece, the geography of the area, covered by mountains and valleys, led to the construction of various communities inside every valley and its encompassing mountains. In the Archaic Period, those communities would grow into independent city-states, denominated polis. Given that transportation connecting the city-states was challenging, each community developed its own currency, administration and way of government.
