Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called <em>Leviathan</em> in 1651. The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society. In Hobbes' view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast). Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests. So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen. And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.
Probably the most famous set of lines from Hobbes' <em>Leviathan</em> book describes what he saw as the natural state of human affairs without government -- one in which every individual had freedom, but that meant it was a situation of "war of all against all," or we might say, every man for himself. Hobbes wrote:
- <em>In such condition, there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.</em>
By 334 BC there were 7 warring states: Qin, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Qi. The Warring States Period ended with Qin's conquest of the other states. It was succeeded by the Qin Dynasty in 221 BC, which marked the transition between ancient China and Imperial China.
Answer:
Many empires rose and fell between 2300 B.C. & 334 B.C. This includes the Babylonian and Hittite Empires which were located near the Middle East. The Babylonian Empire was found particularly in between two rivers, the Euphrates and Tigris, but also stretched to include Present-day Palestine, Present-day & Ancient Israel, North-east of Egypt, and terminating at the ancient city of Ur. The Hittite Empire, on the other hand, included most of present-day Turkey down to present-day northern border of Israel. In comparing both of the empires, we can see that they were able to conquer areas of their surrounding.
However, there are extreme differences between the two empires. One can be savage, in that they continued to war and pillage other civilizations. The Hittite empire fell apart during the rise of the Assryian Kingdom, which effectively removed the "staff of power" from the Hittite's, as well as suppress Babylon.
The Babylonian Empire, on the other hand, rose after the fall of the Assryian Empire, and was able to conquer most of what the Hittite's had. They ruled Northern Egypt, present-day Israel and Palestine, up to what would later be known as Constantinople, and going down to the Persian Gulf. The Babylonians were conquerors, who defeated and assimilated the people groups into the empire, though displacing them to discourage rebellion. They were overthrown later on by the Persians at the end of their empire.
Babylon and the Hittite were similar only in that they became empires, but the differences are great. They both took different approaches in trying to conquer the lands. One tried suppression, while the other did assimilation (though they did have to suppress in numerous occasions). In the end, they both were empires, and they both fell.

Casualties mounted to 23,000, the bloodiest battle in American history up to that moment. A counteroffensive launched by Gen. Ulysses Grant pushed back the South´s army. As a result of this defeat, all Southern hopes to stop the advance of the Northern armies into northern Mississippi were lost.
