Egypt thrived around the Nile River, Mesopotamia flourished off of the Tigris/Euphrates River, India, the Indus River, and China the Yellow River. In all of these areas, civilizations were able to develop because the rivers provided rich soil and irrigation for crops, as well as providing barriers from attacks and disease. Without a doubt, having successful civilizations around this time required easy access to food and protection, which rivers were able to provide. When it came…

In the Dynastic cycle, the Han and Tang Dynasties of ancient China showed similar periods of prosperity because they both valued education. An example of this is that they had to take a exam to be an government official and it wasn't rigged so that the rich passed it every time. This supports my thinking because this made it so only people who knew what they were doing got a job in the government. Another example is that they prized learning over family background and those who studied got…

Hesiod, an important Greek poet, created The Ages of Man which depicted the deterioration of mankind over five generations. The first generation of mortals placed on Earth by Zeus was the race of Gold, the races that proceeded to follow are the Silver Age, Bronze Age, Heroic Age, and lastly the Iron Age. Many people consider our race to be the Iron Age and although there are striking similarities, I feel as though the meaning behind our race delves deeper than that. In my opinion, our race can…

According to the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization, the world produces enough food to provide every person with 2,700 calories a day (Agriculture & Famine). Although it is estimated that every person should be properly nourished each day, nearly a quarter of the Sub-Saharan Africa population is malnourished and or in famine. Most experts include that increasing the global distribution of food would be much too complex on a global scale. In turn, increasing local supplies in Africa…

e quote by Joseph Chamberlain suggests his view of British imperialism in Africa was that they were doing Africa a big favor by exposing them to all they had to offer. The Suez Canal was viewed as the “lifetime of the Empire” because it allowed Britain quicker access to its colonies in Asia and in Africa. The Suez Canal was a handmade water-way that connected two seas. These seas were the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. It was opened in 1869, and the French covered the cost of building it…
