The low mountain ranges of Greece stood in the way of making one large community because it separated the land into individual areas.  The Greeks soon built many other smaller city states (Polis). Since there was no passable river connecting them together, there was not much communication between the Greek communities. Because the city states were isolated from each other, many individual governments were organized, which set the ground work for the configuration of democracy. The small size and poor soil quality of the land prevented the communities from having a large population, which started the immigration of people to Greece. Colonization helped the feeling of individualism and humanism to grow rapidly, which led to the growth of democracy in Greece.
