Explanation:
By today's standards, they would be considered barbaric, but back then, compared to the babylonians, they were kind. They were the first nation in the world too use puppet states, and allow thier western regions in the middle east to self govern, they were still conqueres though, and when the Greeks invaded them, pushing them all the way into India, they reformed the process of puppet states more.

Feudalism is the denomination of the predominant political system in Western Europe of the middle centuries of the Middle Ages (between the 9th and 15th centuries), and in Eastern Europe during the Modern Age, characterized by the decentralization of political power; based on the diffusion of power from the top (where in theory were the emperor or kings) to the base where local power was exercised effectively with great autonomy and independence by an aristocracy, called nobility.
I've seen this question before, asking to identify where the narrative takes place. It is <u>World War II in Europe</u>.
The references to "fighting the Germans when Poland had first been invaded" identify this narrative as happening during World War II in Europe. Other nations in Europe, notably Britain and France, had followed a policy of appeasement toward Adolph Hitler and Germany's efforts to add territory to its control. They allowed Germany to annex the Sudentland, and then did nothing when Germany took control of all of Czechoslovakia (in March, 1939). But when Germany invaded Poland in September, 1939, it was beyond clear that appeasing Hitler hadn't worked, and war was pursued. Germany's invasion of Poland was the beginning of World War II in Europe.
