Olenka [21]3 years ago

Answer:

Sound generalizations can accommodate a variety of complex sources.

Explanation:

Generalizations are not necessarily wrong, to begin with. You can say that, for example, in the past, men were generally in charge. Which is objectively true.

Oversimplifications, though, are problematic by definition, since they are: <em>"a simplification of something to such an extent that a distorted impression is given."</em>

ladessa [460]

Answer: The Babylonians took over the Fertile Crescent.

Explanation:

The Fertile Crescent is an area in the middle east that runs from the Persian Gulf and curves around Mesopotamia to include parts of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and northern Egypt.

This area is often hailed as the Cradle of Civilisation as the inhabitants pioneered Agriculture, literacy and other things.

Around 2000 BC, the late Babylonian Empire took over the Fertile Crescent thereby leading to an unprecedented rise in the power of the Babylonian Empire.

Their rule was further consolidated by great emperors like Hammurabi who is quite famous for his principles of law known as ''Hammurabi's Code''.
