The men were exhausted, so that is why thet didn't retaliate.
Geographic features that isolated Ancient China were the Himalayas, Takla Makan, and the Gobi Desert.
Explanation:
Ancient China was one of the most developed civilizations in the world, and in numerous periods it was far ahead than any other civilization. Unlike the other civilizations though, which were in constant contact with each other and exchanging knowledge and technology, China was not like that, which makes its development even more impressive.
China was actually isolated, both from the geographical features and because of its own policies. The geography played a very big role, and it was what helped the isolationist policy. The major geographic features that were isolating Ancient China were:
- Himalayan Mountain Range (the biggest and highest in the world)
- Takla Makan (very harsh, vast desert)
- Gobi Desert (massive, rocky, cold desert)
The United States-Mexico War partially abides by this principle. Although the United States and Mexico wished to resolve the territorial dispute peacefully, the two nations resorted to the use of force. The United States sent an envoy, John Slidell, to Mexico in order to annex Texas, New Mexico, and California diplomatically. However, the Mexican government refused to accept the envoy since the public was against Texas annexation to the United States. Although Mexico warned the United States that Texas annexation would be a "declaration of war," the American government signed an annexation treaty with Texas in 1846, which caused the Mexicans to use military force to protect its territorial integrity. Therefore, the Mexican-American war could have been prevented had the United States regarded the Mexican admonitions seriously.
Hope this helps!!!!!!
An ancient historian is most likely to use the artefacts, the written inscriptions, etc.
