This is significant factor because military prowess led to the growth of Islam and made it an important figure in history. Islamic society was based on the ideals of ‘submission,’ which is what Islam translates to. People were united under both religion and society ideals. This rapid expansion of the Islamic Empire is definitely due to the strong moral unification of the Islamic people. In addition, religion formed strong spiritual bonds among the people as well (Craig 297).
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.
Assess the reasons for the Amarna revolution and its subsequent failure. It has been argued that the most remarkable period of ancient Egypt’s profound history was that of the Amarna period. Amenhotep III’s son and successor Amenhotep IV or Akhenaten (reigned 1379 - 1334 BC) was the infiltrator of the Amarna revolution. This ‘revolution’ refers to the radical changes to the Egyptian religion, art, architecture, politics and foreign policy. Among professional Egyptologists, the mere mention of this period brings passionate reactions and controversial opinions emphasising the enormity of the change in history.
Johnson tackled poverty actively with his Great Society program and all the acts under it, effectively lowering the levels of needy people in the U.S.A. While Johnson’s goal of eliminating poverty did not become reality, poverty was nearly halved. (Doc. H) In the most prosperous society of the time, the programs did surprisingly much. Johnson doubled the amount of money being poured into the office of Economic Opportunity to improve the vile conditions in the Appalachian Mountain range.
Assess the impact of the Hyksos invasion on the development of ear;y new kingdom society and government. The Hyksos invasion had a great impact on the development of early kingdom society and government. After the brilliance of the middle kingdom, Egypt fell into confusion its rulers murdering and replacing each other with great speed. During this time a group of foreigners moved into the delta area from Palestine.

He issued his famous April Thesis, which had his promise of ‘Peace, Land and Bread’ which was cleverly aimed at the majority of Russia (peasants wanted land, everyone wanted peace and there was a bread shortage which made problems for most people). This message became more and more popular throughout 1917, especially amongst the workers in the cities which explains why Lenin’s leadership was important. However, Lenin’s promise wouldn’t have been so powerful if the Provisional Government had not consistently made serious mistakes, such as failing to resolve the problem of food shortages, high inflation and the redistribution of land. Lenin’s return to Russia helped the Bolsheviks gain power because his slogans were attractive when the Provisional Government started to fail. Therefore, we don’t know if Lenin would have been as successful if the Provisional Government were not failing.
Can you argue that the structure of the political system under the Nasser and Sadat Presidencies differ and if so, to what degree? Several scholars and historians have made efforts to compare and contrast Egypt under the rule of Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat. On the surface there are several similarities between the two leaders, but once we start to dig deeper we find that this claim is false. Nasser was a very popular leader that took upon him to become the guardian of the 1952 Revolution and of the Arab states in general. A young, ambitious, and charismatic leader that easily won the love of the Egyptian masses.
The Duties of the Caliphs were well organized and up front which Helped Islam become strong and well established (Doc E). The duties of these leaders were to define the meaning of faith, serve as a judge, guard the lands of Islam, and to wage war on anyone who misjudged the faith or did not believe. Many people who had been under control from the Byzantines and Persians saw this as a new way out and took it, After the battle at al-Yarmuk the Byzantine followers decided that they liked the Islam rule better than their own and decided to switch religions because of this new political
