(Mahoney, 2008) The River is still a source of food and water. The river Nile contributes greatly to Agriculture in Egypt. To date, the Nile River remains one of the most outstanding and amazing natural feature that continues to add value and improve the Egyptian economy and the Middle East economy as well.

Although the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty had many great achievements, some with lasting legacies, both fell due to an internal breakdown of their infrastructure as well as outside invasion. The achievements of the Roman Empire stretched further than just the land they conquered. They built far-reaching aqueducts to bring a fresh flow of water into their cities. The precision the Romans used in constructing these was remarkable. Roman engineers designed drop shaft cascades and steep chutes with dissipation basins to manage steep areas that demonstrated their expertise in hydraulics.
This large population created a developing society that created their own methods for accounting, writing, record keeping, government and much other advancement that was unknown to the ancient world. The society had huge developments in anatomy and architecture that still influence society today. ("HowStuffWorks "The Nile's Impact on Ancient Egypt"", n.d., p. 1) The Nile River also served as the main source of transportation. This encouraged travel and enabled trade and communication with outlying areas. The process of diffusion of the Eqyptian religion between early human societies is still apparent today.
AP World History 18 September 2012 Egypt and Mesopotamia Egypt and Mesopotamia were two great ancient civilizations that were similar in some ways, but also had many differences. Because of each civilizations relationship with the rivers they became powerful in the ancient world. Through, geography, religion and social structure, these ancient civilizations became two of the greatest civilizations of their time. The geography of Egypt and Mesopotamia probably played the biggest role in the people’s everyday lives. Both Egypt and Mesopotamian societies depended so heavily on their surroundings that they most likely would not have been able to survive without it.
This essay will prove that ultimately, the expulsion of the Hyksos and the beginning of the 18th dynasty strengthened Egypt making them an unbeatable force for hundreds of years. The period in which the Hyksos ruled Egypt was considered by all Egyptians as “a great national humiliation” . During this time, it is believed that there were five Hyksos Kings - Sheshi, Yakubher, Khyans, Apepi I and II. This theory is based around the detailed descriptions by Manetho, however there is much debate surrounding this as the papyri that the script was written is severely damaged and the length of each rule is also debated for the same reason . Whilst the later Egyptian rulers, such as Hatshepsut in her temple Speos Artemidos, named the Hyksos as “barbarians... who ruled in ignorance of Re” the names of each Hyksos king contradict this.
Hunter Donahue 1/11/10 Prd.4 During the early Modern Era, many Islamic empires raised to power, for example the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals. These empires rose to power with their strong military and wealthy economy, but lacked a respectable government and an equal social structure, which later lead to the fall off their economies. This shows the gunpowder empires lack of a dependable infrastructure, through its abusive politicians and inequality between social classes. On the other hand, it also shows the gunpowder empires great militaristic strength, as well as the economic support it provides, and without that support it falls apart slowly overtime. The one true strength the gunpowder empires had, was its warfare.
Although some things were carried out well under the Conservatives, there were many missed opportunities and mistakes under the 4 prime ministers. I think that some of the prime ministers contributed more to the ‘wasted years’ than others, notably Eden, who made mistakes with both the Suez Crisis and the EDC. I also think that Britain missing out on the EEC and Europe is one of the main reasons why these years were wasted. Once it became clear that Britain’s role in the world was declining, and her Empire was changing to a Commonwealth, I think that the Conservatives should have seen that as the reason to lean more towards Europe. Although our relations with America did improve, and have later proved to be very important, missing out on Europe was a major mistake.
Name: Arnelle Souverain Date: 4/03/2015 Unit Essay 2 Success often carries with it the seeds of its own destruction, and that was certainly the case with the Roman republic by the late second century B.C.E. Unfortunately, the conservative Romans had great difficulty adapting to such rapid changes. The result was a century of political and social turmoil during which Rome kept trying to patch up these new problems with the same old solutions. Fortunately for Rome, it was still dynamic and energetic enough to survive and even expand during this period of social decay and political and military turbulence. Rome faced serious problems in three areas: the fate of its peasants, the government of its provinces, and its army.
Without the help of our 32nd President, often called by his initials FDR, America could have ended in anarchy. However, there are two sides to every story, and not every America felt the same way. When the world started changing, not every American was able to keep up. Everything was becoming pricier and wages weren’t getting any higher. Our fast growing industrial way of life was slowly weakening our economy.
