Basically, in light of history, argument between human societies became intense as they tried to expand their own lands and power each other, and as a result, conquest and war were performed in each area. Around 3000 BCE, several cities already existed in southern Mesopotamia which was established by Sumerians. As their cities became larger, they started to have significant economic and political influence on the area around their cities and in order to govern more land they formed city-states (World History 10). If every city stopped expanding their land at some points before they reached territories which were owned by others, there might be no war happened. However, as history tells us, people have never stopped their growth and development even if it causes to fight a war.
Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other: Bourgeoisie and Proletariat” (Marx and Engels 1848). Social class, therefore, is based upon economic criteria and conflict occurs between those who own the means of production (bourgeoisie) and the wage-labourers (proletariat). As well as having economic control over the proletariat, the bourgeoisie also have the power to determine the superstructure; the ruling class can distort perceptions of the world and hide the true nature of social relationships and the exploitation of the proletariat and, above all, promote bourgeoisie interests.

The gove rnment of Ancient Egypt was headed by a king (in the New kingdom, the king assumed the name "pharaoh ") with absolute power. Different dynasties, or a line of rulers from the same family, would rule E gypt. Each ruler was considered to be a god whose orders were undisputable. However, the government was not only a monarchy; it was a theocracy. The king would perform religious rituals to help the harvest because this would ensure prosperity in Egypt.
Like government, they were both ruled by individuals, who had power and wealth and set themselves as “Kings”. Mesopotamia’s ruler, Hammurabi, had set a code of laws that he posted throughout the kingdom of Babylon to let commoners know punishment for crimes.

The war for independence was fought to end colonial rule. The war was based on politics and a separation of powers. In this essay I will start from the rising annoyance amongst the indigenous population and how the higher ranking classes exploited their failures for their own societal class gain in a system where they have always been favored more by societal leaders.
