Russia and Britain both gained partial control of Persia's economy.
<u><em>The Mir Space Station was in orbit for an astonishing 15 years, being the first modular space station public ally known!</em></u>
The Mir Station is no longer in orbit and was destroyed upon forced reentry by the Russians in an attempt to get rid of it, so it is NOT A.
Does the word "Mir" sound American to you? Well I certainly hope not, because it isn't, so it is NOT C.
If it isn't A, and it isn't C, it can't be all of the above, so it is NOT D.
So the answer is B by process of elimination!
The correct answer is D) amount of taxes to collect.
The statement that was not an economic decision that family groups made and that led to the development of a civilization is "amount of taxes to collect."
The first human civilizations had to make some decisions in order to survive such as crops to cultivate, location of settlement, and resources to use. Let's remember that early humans were nomads, hunter-gathers that used to follow herds to hunt them and feed their families. During the Neolithic Revolution, humans started to settle in one place and learned agriculture techniques that allowed them to grow crops and domesticate animals. That was the case of the Sumerians that established between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, in the region if the Middle East that today is Iraq.
Piye or also known as Piankhithe Ku sh ite ruler of Nubia.
Nubia had been a vassal of early Egypt for approximately 2,500 years by the perIod of Piye's takeovers. All this while Nubia's culture was accepting and familiarizing to the well-known Egyptian culture. In the late 8th century BC, when Pi ye rose to power, Egypt as a realm had finished and the civilization was much run-down and separated in governance. Essentially Nubia was ever waiting and viewing for their chance to rise, and Pi ye must have seen himself as satisfying the ready moment. Lastly, he led the Nubians against their once long time overlords and now the tables were turned. This measured himself the true ruler of Egypt as well, the correct successor to the transcendent traditions experienced by the Pharaohs such as Ramses II and Thutmose III.
