I wanna know how geography effected/influenced cities (locations, buildings), people (clothes, foods), military (technology), and trade. If you can give me some info, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks!

Greece is a crossroad of cultures, it is in Europe, but also it is near Egypt and the East. So it had a big exchange of ideas and philosophy, it developped science and trade, and being surrounded by the sea, it developped maritime skills (military and trading fleet). This lasted form antiquity to modern history.

There are at least two aspects to your question. One is already addressed briefly but adequately by the previous respondant and has to do with the geographic location of Greece.
The other, which I think you are refering to has to do with the topography of Greece. Greece is a mountainous penninsula surrounded by seas which have about 3000 islands. Because of the geography the communication between the city-states was difficult. Having said that, I can clearly see that this space is not enough to give you a complete answer, so I will stop here.
