What most people don’t realize, though is that the converse is true too, Geography plays an equally important role in holding a region back, though that’s usually attributed to bad politics or cultural differences, While those factors may play a prominent role, too they’re not enough to explain how so many countries, around the world are still dealing with the same logistical, and economic problems they’ve always had, It all makes sense, however as soon as you take a good look at their map.
