Whether two societies intermingled or what effects a war has on a society could matter.
Two societies that join together could introduce new ideas born from their disparate works.
A war could wipe out or hinder a society that would have flourished, or a war can force a society to innovate (like with U.S. history).
If a climate is harsh a society may not be as prosperous,
or maybe a society is prosperous because it is in a geographically advantageous position (like a popular port city or trade route nexus).
What types of plants and animals a society is near can influence what medicine they can make and the animals they can use for food or labor (which supply their own advantages).
A disease might wipe out a society, or a society might build up immunity.
