Geographical Characteristic # 1 – Seas, used as a link to the outside world. Greece is part of the Balkan Peninsula
Geographical Characteristic # 2 – Mountainous region, which causes Greece and its city-states to be more isolated from one another and serves as barriers for protection.
Greece fiercely defended the independence of their city-states. Endless rivalry led to frequent wars.
