How did the geography affect the development of civilization in the region of Mesopotamia

Social Studies

Yuri [45]4 years ago

The dry environment encompasses the area from northern areas with rain-dependent agriculture to the south where irrigation agriculture is essential. The irrigation was aided by high water levels and snow melt from the peaks of the northern Mountains, and from the Armenian Plateau, the source of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, by which the region was named. The usefulness of irrigation depends on the ability to mobilize sufficient labor for the construction and maintenance of canals, and has, since the earliest period, contributed to the development of urban settlements and centralized systems of political power.

Explanation:

  • Farming throughout the region has been supplemented by nomadic livestock throughout the region, where nomads living in tents store sheep and goats (and later camels) in coastal pastures during the dry summer months, and seasonal pastures on the edge of the desert during the wet winter season.
  • There is a shortage of construction stone, precious metals in the area, and the area has historically been dependent on trade in agricultural products to provide these materials from remote regions.
  • In wetlands in the south of the area, there has been a complex fishing culture since prehistoric times, which has been a complementary cultural factor.

Why would nationalism lead
alexdok [17]

The answer to the question about why would nationalism lead to intolerance and persecution of other ethnic or national groups is explained below.

Explanation:

When a nation promotes its own interests, over the interests of other nations, it is called as nationalism. Nationalism creates a feeling of inferiority within the minorities of a country, which may lead to intolerance among them.

Countries usually contain diverse group of people, who are from different backgrounds, ethnicity, etc. Large group of people in a country or region creates pride among them of their sharing of common heritage, history, backgrounds, ethnicity, etc. This thing may leave many minorities alone and make them feel inferior in the same region or country, which would no doubt lead to intolerance among them.
