Answer:

the mountains caused isolated communities to form separate governments

Explanation:

the peninsula was surrounded by water and mountains making it hard to expand and keeping them isolated. communities remained small and close.

City states were formed and each city-state developed its own laws, practices, and way of life

states that were around rivers usually developed better, because they had access to somewhat quick trade and fish, where as people on mountains had a harder time for trade of getting food
