Question

What was the reason for the formation of city-states rather than one all-powerful capital?

Answer 1

Answer:

   

Why did Greece develop city-states?

 

One major reason why ancient Greece was dominated by small city-states and independent towns, rather than by one all-powerful king, is its geography. The country's mountainous terrain, many isolated valleys, and numerous offshore islands encouraged the formation of many local centers of power, rather than one all-powerful capital.

Another key factor influencing the formation of city-states rather than kingdoms was the Mediterranean.
