History

Leona [35]3 years ago

Africa has an enormous amount of natural resources, such as diamonds, gold, iron, uranium, wood and other goods like fruits and more.

When European nations lost the American colonies around the 18th and 19th centuries, they were looking for other territories to restore their sources of raw materials and cheap work force, thus West and North Africa with the abundance of minerals and other natural resources was their answer.

Nations like France needed to enhance their economy and recover from the great depression at that time, reason why they clashed against the British in West Africa; and European missionaries supported the idea believing imperialism would create the conditions for missionary activity since they believed themselves superior to African cultures, then entitlement and pride also pushed them towards it.

What relationship did the government have with religion in mesopotamia?
Rom4ik [11]

Religion played a decisive role in both governments of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

In Ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh was believed to have descended from the realm of the Gods. His role was that of an intermediary between them and the people of the empire. His obligation was to sustain rituals for the gods in order to maintain an order in the universe. Massive amounts of resources were also assigned to the creation of temples where these rituals were held.

In Mesopotamia, the King was considered as a religious leader. He exercised the cult with the help of specialists whose task was to serve as an intermediary between men and the gods. These group of specialists included a "supervising" priest for purification against demons, priests for the purification of the temple, and priests for appeasing the anger of the gods and its subsequent wrath.
