Beginning in 1607, when ambitious English colonists settled in Jamestown, and continuing until the last of the thirteen colonies was established; geography was a substantial factor in the development of colonial America. The crops that essentially saved the colonists lives, such as tobacco, rice, and indigo, wouldn’t have grown without a certain type and amount of soil to grow properly. Also, the Appalachian Mountains and the dense forests provided a barrier for the colonists, preventing them from going too far west right away, and causing the colonies to form in the arrangement they did. Finally, the population was the most dense in middle colonies, such as New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania partly because of the mild landscape and fertile soil.…

The lives of the peoples of the ancient world were shaped by the geography of their region. Document #6 says that the Nile was very important. The Nile would provide them with fresh water for people, livestock, and crops and a means of transportation. Document #5 says that they settled in the area with fertile soil. This area was known as the Fertile Crescent. Document #2 says that China is surrounded by mountains. Therefore, the mountains prevented invaders from taking over China. Document #4 says that Yu provided water to the Chinese people. He did this by digging channels and canals to direct the waters to the people. As you can see, geography greatly shaped the lives of the ancient…
Geography plays a big role in history because the geography of a place resembles where the people have lived or settled for many years. Places have different terrains and climates like deserts, oceans, forests, and more. Back in the Stone Age, thousands of years ago, people didn’t survive very long because of their climates and landscape. Drastically over the years, the world has been changing and it is nothing like it was hundreds and thousands of years ago.…

Geography was, and is, a very important part of civilization. Geography is important to our civilizations today for building, location, and transportation. Back in 2500-1500 BCE, when the Indus River Valley tribe lived, they built all of their towns on the Indus River. Water was a source of life. A lake could be a place to do laundry, to take a bath, and to drink out of. It was also important because it meant that the ground around it was well watered and great for growing crops. The Indus people lived on what is called the Indian sub-continent since that stretch of land juts out from the country of India. They had natural boundaries such as mountains, rivers, and dry plains like deserts.…
Geography was the primary factor in the development of not only the colonies, but many other settlements throughout history too. The Native American for example also developed based on the geography around them. The Plains Indians were a nomadic group of people following bison for food instead of farming the land around them because the bison were a quick-abundant source of food. There was an insufficient amounts of wood around them to build houses, so they resorted to using sticks to build teepees for housing, these were lighter and easier to carry as they…

Physical features and where people were located affected how civilizations developed in North America. According to Guns, Germs and Steel where civilizations were located I the world affected what food you had witch changed their way of life. Jared Diamond talks about how natives to New Guinea have access to the Saco tree while people in the Middle East had access to wheat and barley. According to diamond’s theory the Middle East thrived more quickly because wheat was easier to store and process. While the Saco tree took three days to process and only lasted for three days. Therefore they were spending all of their time providing food while civilizations of the Middle East had time to do more things like provide more permanent shelter and discover new things that help them progress. It seemed like some civilizations like New Guinea were at a halt from progressing anymore, and it didn’t change over thousands of years, while civilizations from the Middle East and surrounding civilizations flourished. Food relates to physical features because based on your elevation (like if you were in the mountains) the climate changes and based on the different climate the different food you find and the different food you can grow. For example if you were in the rainforest you would find the Saco tree like in New Guinea, and in the plains you would find wheat and barley like found in the Middle East. Based on my experience from playing thrive I can conclude that depending on where your civilization was on the map, you received different variations of food and resource surplus and amount of it. For example if you were in a dominant coast you can harvest two fish per meeple but in a secondary coast you could only harvest one fish per meeple. The more food you got per meeple the more meeples you have left to do other things like build homes, and discover things to further develop your civilization. I think this applies in real life also with Europe…
