• Mountain terrain resulted in the formation of isolated cities.– City states formed governments instead of a
national government.– city-state: a sovereign state consisting of an
independent city and its surrounding territory.

Mountainous Terrain
![Page 6: Ancient Greece](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56815477550346895dc29147/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Land provided poor farming– limited arable land– forced people to trade and colonize elsewhere– located within sailing distance of Egypt and
Mesopotamia– through trade Greeks were able to spread their
culture – Hellenistic (Hellenic) culture
• Greece did have good harbors for trade.• Greece shifted from a barter economy to a
money economy (coins) to increase trade.
Economic Development
![Page 7: Ancient Greece](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56815477550346895dc29147/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Stop! Question
1. Why would an economy based on money bring more trade than an economy based on
bartering?
![Page 8: Ancient Greece](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56815477550346895dc29147/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Geography Effected Political Development
• Mountainous terrain hindered the development of a national government
– 2. WHY?
• Therefore, city-states were formed.
• Greek city-states were designed to promote civic and economic activities.– City-states were independent of each other.
• Because of overpopulation, Greeks began to colonize new lands and search for arable land.
![Page 10: Ancient Greece](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56815477550346895dc29147/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Early Greek History
The Minoans

The Dorian Invasion• Between 1200 and 750BCE Greece fell
into a decline – Dark Ages of Greece.• Around 1200BCE the Dorians invaded and
conquered the Greek mainland.• The Dorians were barbaric people.• They organized themselves into small
fortified cities.– The beginnings of the city-state.

The Archaic Period

Religion (Greek Mythology)

Stop! Question?
3. Why would a civilization want to create stories to explain the unexplainable?
