The Influence of Goan Geography on its Profound Historical Background: An In-Depth Investigation

Abstract

Goa, situated on the western coast of India, is characterised by its geographical diversity and a significant historical background, influenced by its distinctive topography, abundant natural resources, and advantageous geopolitical positioning. This study paper aims to investigate the influence of Goan geography on its extensive historical background while also analysing the effects of its coastal geography, terrain, and environmental elements on its historical progression. This study aims to explore three primary domains: the impact of coastal geography on trade and cultural interchange, the defensive and strategic significance of Goa's topography, and the environmental variables that have shaped the history of Goa. This study paper aims to thoroughly investigate the influence of topography on Goa's history, cultural variety, economics, and political scene. This paper examines the impact of coastal geography on trade and cultural exchange.
