Answer:
Two mian reasons why civilizations seek to expand their power:
- The quest for more resources: resources are always scarce, and every civilization wants to have more of them. Expanding its power, territory, and influence, is a way to seek control of more resources.
- To keep other civilizations from becoming more powerful: some civilizations have tried to expand their power mainly with the goal of keeping some neighboring civilization from becoming more powerful. For example, in Mesopotamia, the Assyrians conquered ended up conquering the Babylonians become the two civilizations were not able to coexist.
