Ancient Greece

Today in Mr. Schick's Western Civilization class we started our unit on Ancient Greece. We first were started with a test question that Mesopotamia had Tigris and the Euphrates, Egypt had the Nile, India had the Indus, China had the Huang He River. We were also told that we need to know for our test where the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea, Adriatic Sea, Peloponnese, Athens, Sparta, Crete, Asia Minor, and Macedonia are. I also learned that that Greece is a mountainous peninsula, the mountains cover 3/4  of Greece, and approximately 2000 islands in the Ionian and Aegean. They had skilled sailors and shipbuilders, farmers, metalworkers, weavers, and potters. They had poor and limited natural resources. difficult to unite Greece due to terrain, they had small city states that they were loyal too.
