Explanation:

The Greek cities as can be seen from the map, were separated by mountains and water which meant that they were for the most part, isolated from each other. This led to them coming up with their own style of government that evolved into independent city-states.

In ancient Greece, Sparta had the strongest army and Athens had the strongest navy. Both city-states accomplished this by taking advantage of their surroundings. The Athenians were near water so they built a huge navy to both protect them and their allies and the Spartans built a strong army as they were able to train on the nearby mountains.
