The document discusses the rise of early civilizations from pre-history to 1601 BCE. As agricultural revolutions led to population growth, governments competed for resources to sustain their people. This competition resulted in constant clashes between cultures, with some civilizations rising to form great empires while others fell. Leaders of emerging empires had the opportunity to shape history, but governing during this volatile period required sound judgment and wise decision-making to protect civilizations from threats.

BACKGROUND
By now, civilizations all over the world are
entering an agricultural revolution – an era
in which new tools and technologies are
being developed to grow more food on early
farms. As food production increases
worldwide, the number of people living on
the planet explodes exponentially, too. As a
result, governments compete with one
another to secure enough natural resources
– like fertile farmland, fresh water and
mineral wealth - to sustain their civilizations
and protect their people.

9. PRE-HISTORY - 1601 BCE
BACKGROUND
With so much at stake, this kind of winner-
take-all competition sets in motion a near
constant clash of cultures throughout the
ages in which some civilizations rise while
others fall. In fact, for a fortunate few, their
rise in power will result in the growth of great
empires, giving those governments – and
their leaders – the opportunity to shape how
history happens.

BACKGROUND
Consequently, to protect your people from the
perils of HISTORIA, your government must
use sound judgment to make wise decisions
– always and without exception - because
even one mistake may make a monumental
mess of things. Are you and your team up to
the task?
Only time will tell…
Only time will tell…
