Iroquois Nation--this nation of tribes created a confederation to settle disputes, facilitate trade, and aid in defense.
The Iroquois Confederacy consisted of 5 tribes who governed the area of the Great Lakes as a representative unit. Each tribe had delegates who came together to make decisions regarding the group of tribes. This type of confederation is similar to the early government of the US or at least the initial goal--a confederation of states working together on issues that addressed the whole but otherwise independent. <span />
Answer:
Many colonies were economically more developed than they likely would have been had they not bee colonized. An example of this is India, a country which likely wouldn't be in the economic position it is today if it weren't for advances made under British rule. India would likely be even less developed than it is today and would probably be split into several if not many smaller nations/kingdoms.

Answer:
The area called the Fertile Crescent was home to early civilization. All of the following contributed to the rich and fertile soil in the region except the Zagros and Taurus mountains, which protected the area from undesirable and harsh weather.
Explanation:
The Fertile Crescent is a place where thousands of years ago there were suitable conditions for the birth of civilization. It was an area very suitable for agriculture. Its territory extends from the African Nile in the west, through Cyprus, through the Mesopotamian lowlands and further along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers to the southeast to the Persian Gulf, to the foot of the Iranian highlands.
The area was suitable for agriculture as it was characterized by limited but regular rainfall. The Fertile Crescent is, or was, in reality not a particularly fertile region. However, it was a good place for the emergence of agriculture because there are many plant species suitable for domestication. Precisely because there was a relatively dry climate, there were very many types of grass present from which different types of grain could be domesticated.
