What is a country that was a victim of its own geography?

Answer 1

Without a doubt poland. Open to the european plain. no natural baries on either east or west and only some mountains to the south which are relatively a minor obstacle. every migration into europe has gone either trhough poland or through hungary. Plus as mentioned above it is trapped between germany and russia

Answer 2

Two come to mind immediately.
Charlemagne built a powerful kingdom. But in wiping out his border enemies, he laid his country open to invasion by sea and by land, since he had weakened the outer defenses.
And Ionian Greece, despite its brilliant civilization, had a long, long land north-south border that faced the whole huge landmass of highly populated Asia, as well as a very long seacoast, both impossible to defend against any much more numerous opponent.

Answer 3

Bangladesh is well known as one of the most flood-prone countries in the world.
In 1998 tens of millions of people were made homeless. Around 70 percent of the country and two-thirds of the capital Dhaka was inundated.

Answer 4

Russia. It has only two good sea ports; only one of which can be used year-round. The other freezes during winter. This especially was a problem from about the World War I era to the Cold War era.

Answer 5

Poland - a low-lying country stuck between the Slavic & the Germanic who partitioned her in WW2

Answer 6

The Romans come to mind. They were far too large to support themselves with an empire that large.

Answer 7

Victim of what? Invasion?

Answer 8

Hawaii.

Answer 9

Tonga. They're such a small country that can't even afford a Wal-Mart.
