Britain concentrated on its war against France.After Britain defeated France in 1814,British leaders turned their attention to the United States.
Unfortunately, I do not have pages from a textbook to give to you. However I do know that after WWl, because of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was forced to lose all its colonies and conquered land which means they do not have access to their resources. In addition, they had to pay HUGE reparations to cover civilian damages that were caused during the war. This made Germany politically unstable as the Kaiser fled after WWl and they had 12 political parties during that time. Soon, there will be a rise seen in the political ideology of the National Socialist German Workers' Party- also known as the Nazi Party.
Malcolm X argues that they are not Americans because I'm guessing that...
1. African Americans were not treated like Americans (whites) on the basis of their skin color, so why call them Americans when they aren't treated like so?
2. African history doesn't just start at slavery. It began years before, therefore their roots are deeper than the country they were born in, it goes back to their ancestors in Africa and their culture derives from that, not the U.S culture.
3. The only factor that made the slaves American was due to slave trade; they were not born in the U.S, just brought there to help profit the whites' and produce mass amounts of cotton. But by the time he was born, most slaves had American-born children so I may have contradicted myself. I hope I helped.
For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world. From the great pyramids of the Old Kingdom through the military conquests of the New Kingdom, Egypt’s majesty has long entranced archaeologists and historians and created a vibrant field of study all its own: Egyptology. The main sources of information about ancient Egypt are the many monuments, objects and artifacts that have been recovered from archaeological sites, covered with hieroglyphs that have only recently been deciphered. The picture that emerges is of a culture with few equals in the beauty of its art, the accomplishment of its architecture or the richness of its religious traditions.
Predynastic Period (c. 5000-3100 B.C.)
Few written records or artifacts have been found from the Predynastic Period, which encompassed at least 2,000 years of gradual development of the Egyptian civilization.
Neolithic (late Stone Age) communities in northeastern Africa exchanged hunting for agriculture and made early advances that paved the way for the later development of Egyptian arts and crafts, technology, politics and religion (including a great reverence for the dead and possibly a belief in life after death).
Around 3400 B.C., two separate kingdoms were established near the Fertile Crescent, an area home to some of the world’s oldest civilizations: the Red Land to the north, based in the Nile River Delta and extending along the Nile perhaps to Atfih; and the White Land in the south, stretching from Atfih to Gebel es-Silsila. A southern king, Scorpion, made the first attempts to conquer the northern kingdom around 3200 B.C. A century later, King Menes would subdue the north and unify the country, becoming the first king of the first dynasty.
In the Archaic Period, as in all other periods, most ancient Egyptians were farmers living in small villages, and agriculture (largely wheat and barley) formed the economic base of the Egyptian state. The annual flooding of the great Nile River provided the necessary irrigation and fertilization each year; farmers sowed the wheat after the flooding receded and harvested it before the season of high temperatures and drought returned.
