My Eldest Son,
My days as a ruler are coming to an end. I am old, my
strength is failing , and your days are numbered.
Before I pass on, I entrust the rule of my empire to
you.
You are a young man, though, and need much guidance in
the ways of building and maintaining an empire. Along
with the help of my scribes, I have decided to create a
guide to ensure that my empire remains strong and
prosperous for generations to come.
May the Gods be with You,
Nebuchadrezzar
Introduction
AlliesGaetano
Allies are important to the creation/maintenance of an empire because
they reinforced peace and helped you in times of
war. If you ever went to war, allies would back
you up and support you. They could also provide
resources (Weapons, Fruits, Grain, etc) for your
empire. They might help you defeat the opposing
empire by sending armies to help you. For
example, when the Assyrians were defeated by the
Babylonians, Medes, and Scythians, the allies helped
each other defeat them. During the simulation, the Hittites and
Phoenicians allied and teamed up on the Medes. The Hittites gave them
resources in exchange of armies. The Hittites also donated armies so
they could conquer wheat.
Allies
In times of drought or food shortage,
they could give you food/water. However,
the most important things about allies
was they were peaceful with you. They
didn't attack you as long as you didn't
attack them. If
you had a lot of allies, other empires
could be intimidated by you and wouldn't
dare attack because of your allies.
Without allies, you would be constantly at
war and would eventually die.
Clearly, allies were
crucial in the maintenance
of empires,
especially in the
maintenance of
peace.
The allies are "supporting" each other.

Military strategies were ways that led most empires to succeed in battles and
protection. An example of an empire that had great success for having theses strategies
is the Akkadians. The Akkadians were ruled by the general, Sargon. He was an intelligent
general for many years. He used different types of strategies to defeat enemies around
him. One of the strategies he used was certain positions. He placed armies with spears in
the back and men with shields in the front.The soldiers would seem stronger and were
able to strike any opponents while protected by shields. This strategy led to winning the
battles fought. Another strategy was his use of the government. He put people who were
in his favor (loyal) in the government so it would be easier to manage. Finally, as a way
of attacking the armies, he broke city walls to weaken the other empires. Often the
armies would set siege outside the city-walls. Eventually the people inside would not be a
able to survive without food and water. After that happened, the empires didn't have to
worry about being attacked by that one empire anymore.
Another king that demonstrated many protection examples
was Nebuchadnezzar II, the king for the Neo-Babylonians. He built an
inner and outer city wall for the double protection
for his capital. The walls were as thick as two chariots
stacked together. The king would have a moat that would be filled with
water so it would be harder for intruders to
attack. For the farmers to pass there would be a bridge that would
help them get inside. While there was war going on he would take the
bridge apart. King Nebuchadnezzar also had
an idea of building some towers on top of the city so that they could
attack the people who were not welcome in the city. Their armies would
normally use bow and arrows to shoot the invaders. The use of
military strategy was essential for the success of the armies in their
battles against others. Nebuchadnezzar would capture the people
from Israel
that rebelled against him and would not allow them to
return to their homeland. Without these strategies,
empires would not have protection from others.

but because city walls were invented, the empires would have extra protection. When other
empires attacked, farmers outside the city walls would run inside the empire for
protection. City walls made the life easier because it gave them protection. Next, another
public work that made the life easier were the warehouse. The warehouse was used to
store resources when floods would happen. Before, the citizens could not protect their
food from floods because the water would carry the food away, but because the
warehouse was invented, they could protect food from floods. The citizens could now eat
food that wasn't soaked because the warehouse would protect the food. Finally, my last
public work that made life easier was the irrigation systems. Before farmers had to
farm with the floods of the rivers but now, the irrigation system made it better.
Public works contributed to the
creation and the maintaining of the empire
because it made the citizen’s daily life easier.
For example, city walls helped the citizens
because they were protected .Before, tribes and
villages did not have protection so they could be
attacked easily,

They made canals so that the water from the rivers could flow with no
problems around the plants. Because they made canals, it made the empire a
more efficient way to cultivate, but the farmers had to clean the canals
every time so that the canals did not clog, making it also not efficient. Also
they made dams to protect from the floods. Irrigation systems (dams,
canals, etc.) were created to control the floods and to farm better. In
conclusion I can conclude that public works were created because for
protection, (city walls) storage of foods, (warehouse) and to control floods
and to cultivate the plants better (irrigation systems).
Laws
Laws kept order and brought together
empires. First, Hammurabi was best known for
his code of laws. These helped bring together his
empire more and keep people orderly. They were
strict and everyone knew the punishments for
not following them. You could even be put to
death for not following them. They were very
clear and he had them written out so no one had
an excuse for not following them. Second, you
were treated exactly how you treated other
people this brought more order to how people
treated each other. This made sure people were
generally pretty good except for the occasional
accident. For example, if you were to poke
someone else's eye out you would get your eye
removed.

Lastly, the code was the first set of laws that applied to everyone. Even people in higher classes had to follow them, and higher classes were usually not treated the same because they were more important. This made things more fair because everyone had to obey. The laws were harsh but they made people be careful and listen. During Hammurabi’s time laws were the most important thing because they kept good order.
Military StrategyDudu
Having armies that were skilled and differenced than others because of their experience on the field was really effective because they could conquer lands, win battles, etc. The Akkadian Empire had a successful army because of his General/King Sargon. Sargon was a extremely important figure to the city because he was the person that gave most things for the city, new empires, new homes, more slaves to work for the people, etc. It was effective the training of Sargon in the field because he used military strategies and skills, making his armies go to the field knowing what is the strategy already in their heads. Some of his strategies, was when he had some defense in the front, to protect the swordsmen, and they would all advance without being hurt if the strategy worked out. One more things, was when he only destroyed the city wall of the city that he wanted to attack. That would made the enemy get rebel, and want to kill Sargon, but they would have to stay a long time building the walls, instead of losing people to attack against Sargon's skilled army.
