- TO KNOW:

- mountains cover about 3 quarters of greece
- approximately 2,000 islands in the Ionian and Aegean Seas
- had many skilled sailors and ship builders also farmers, metal workers, weavers, and potters
- Greece had poor/ limited natural resources, so they needed to trade
- used the coastlines of places to make ports to trade with other places
- IMPORTANT: It was really hard to unite Ancient Greeks because of the terrain. They developed small, independent communities (city-states), that is who they were loyal to.
- it was almost like the greeks were more proud of being a part of their state than being a partof greece
- its kind of like how in the confederate america, the southern people were more loyal to their states than to the country as a whole.
