Unit #1: Ancient History Blue Book Review
Question A
The development of civilizations was a dramatic new stage in
world history. Four of the earliest civilizations developed along
river valley systems (e.g. the Tigris-Euphrates Valley, the Nile
Valley, the Indus Valley, and the Yellow River Valley). Describe
the growth of the various river valley systems, primarily focusing
on each region’s religion, societal design/structure, government,
military, and contributions to civilization. Which of these four
civilizations were the most successful? Why? Which had the
greatest impact on future civilizations? How?
Question B
What allowed for Greece and Rome to develop (and sustain life)
independently from the four earliest river valley civilizations?
Describe the growth of Greece and Rome, primarily focusing on
each one’s religion, societal design/structure, government,
military, and contributions to civilization. Which of these two
civilizations were the most successful? Why? Which one had the
greatest impact on future civilizations? How?
Question C
War is as old as human society itself. The earliest city-states and
empires in Mesopotamia became the first to employ standing
armies. Organization and structure are central to warfare, as
illustrated by the highly disciplined troops of the Roman Empire.
What is war? Why do wars occur? What are some theories
behind warfare? Why do human beings, the most advanced
species on the planet, resort to violence to solve their problems?
What makes humans so prone to conflict? Can this susceptibility
be changed or altered? What are some theories about ending
war? What does the future of war hold for humankind?
