How did mountain ranges contribute to the development of different cultures in Europe developing independently? Please help due today

Explanation:

In mainland Europe, wide rivers like the Rhine also kept groups of people separated. This separation and isolation caused many different cultures to develop.Like the rivers, these made it difficult for one group to control all of Europe and encouraged the growth of independent territories.

Many people became traders and seafarers. Towns grew up along the rivers which had access to the sea. Rivers also provided protection from invaders.The lack of mountains was good for farming, but it made the towns easier to be invaded by enemies.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.  

protectionism fosters competition and keeps price regulated is not an argument in favor of protectionism.
