Sea- Easy access to water naturally made all of the city-states excel at seamanship, trading and exploring.

Mountains- The steep landscape made travel by land difficult so communication between the city-states was limited. Because of this they developed independently, creating drastic differences in values and beliefs in each.

Nationalism These differences in values between the Athenians and the Spartans caused a lot of disagreements and they could not agree on a political leader which would have united them. The city- states kept to themselves and did not work together very well. They constantly struggled for power with each other except for when common enemies , such as the Persian Empire, temporarily united them.
