DialecticThe importance of history sometimes seems to overwhelm us as we, as a species, forget the past that made our present. With history, as many say, everything is linked. Some in a sequential line, others in a web, but all things are nevertheless connected in one way or another. Going back as far as the ancient Egyptians, our lives today, in the 21st century, are already being affected. For example, one of the main reasons Egypt prospered was its ample water supply. The Nile, which stretches 3,000 kilometers across Egypt, taught us that starting a civilization near a body of water was a cool thing to do. Egypt also pioneered the idea of ​​domesticating animals to further benefit humans. They established the criteria for domesticating animals and followed them as such. Egypt also set great examples for future dynasties and monarchies of the world when they not only appointed a king for their new dynasty, but they also used that king to unite Upper and Lower Egypt. . The unification of countries will also be important for the countries of the future, such as Bismarck's quest to unify Germany which was successful but directly and indirectly led to many wars, including the First World War. Egypt was once again an example for Germany in matters of war. For example, when Egypt was taken by the Hyksos, their pharaoh Ahmose drove them out of Egypt and, realizing that his army was sorely lacking, the reformed Egyptian army chose only members of the state bureaucracy from among the military commanders. Hitler did the same thing in Germany as he prepared for the inevitable war (World War II). Hitler promoted members of his Nazi Party to higher military positions and began building new weapons of war. I talked about the importance of the unification of Egypt and how unification was also important...... middle of paper...... nuclear bombs. The Cold War began amid a climate of distrust and secrecy between the United States and the USSR regarding the creation and use of nuclear weapons. Both sides were concerned about the balance of power regarding these weapons, just as European countries were during the era of absolute monarchies. The information age is also known as the digital age. It is called this because the information is known to us as a society as being important and so we have made it easily accessible. With a single click, anyone can find out what's happening on the other side of the world. Information can be transferred easily and the sheer simplicity of sharing information has made the times we live in. Through all of history and its connections, we see minor coincidences, direct and indirect causes, and most importantly, we see lessons to follow in the future..
