Compare and contrast the geography of the four major river valley civilizations: Tigris/Euphrates, Indus, Nile, and Yellow
How do geographic factors explain the development of their unique political, economic, social, and cultural characteristics?
Between 4000 and 3000 B.C.E., civilization began to appear in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys in Mesopotamia, then along the Nile River in Egypt, and somewhat later in the Indus valley in India and the Yellow River basin in China. Each of these early civilizations developed urban centers, monumental architecture, a hierarchical society, and a system of writing. The period is known as the Bronze Age because it coincided with the discovery of the technique for making bronze tools and weapons. Answers should also include details about the geography of each civilization and how those are related to specific characteristics of the civilization.
