<h3>What gave Anatolia a military advantage?</h3>
Around 4,000 years ago, the people of Anatolia discovered how to smelt and use bronze metal to make various types of things.
They then applied this bronze metal to their weapons and this gave them such a huge military advantage, that the Hittite Empire which was based in Anatolia, was able to take advantage and conquer huge areas up to ancient Egypt.
The event that marked the end of the Roman Republic is often attributed to the defeat of Marc Antony in 31 BC at the Battle of Actium which ended the period of civil war.
