Question

How did the geography affect how cultures developed in the Pacific island nations?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Geography affected how cultures developed in the Pacific island nations in that they had access to a variety of raw materials and natural resources.

This factor allowed native tribes that inhabited the Pacific Islands the opportunity to make a living. Unfortunately for them, during the exploration times, some powerful European countries arrived at these islands and conquered them. These powerful nations benefited so much from those raw materials that were sent to their native nations to manufacture goods.
