The Greek Peninsula is very mountainous. The land is rocky and the soil is generally poor, with few large trees. In ancient times, the rugged mountain terrain made overland travel and communication very difficult. However, the peninsula's long coastline allowed travel by water. As a result, the ancient Greeks became excellent sailors and developed an economy based on trade.
Which of the following developments in ancient Greek history was a direct result of the physical geography described above?
In 1776 B.C., Greeks throughout the region gathered to compete in the first Olympic games to honor gods believed to live on Mount Olympus.
About 700 B.C., the Greeks began to form independently governed city-states around the most important village in each area.
In 499 B.C., some Greek city-states united to fight a war against the Persians who controlled what is now the nation of Turkey.
About 330 B.C., Alexander the Great conquered areas of the Mediterranean region and spread Greek culture as far east as India.
