DialecticsThe importance of history sometimes seems to go over our heads as we as a species forget the past that created our present. With history, as many say, all things are connected. Some in a sequential line, some in a network, but all things are still connected in one way or another. Going back to the ancient Egyptians, our lives today in the 21st century are already affected. For example, a great reason why Egypt prospered was its large supply of water. The Nile River, which stretches 2,000 miles through Egypt, taught us that starting a civilization near a body of water was a genius thing to do. Egypt also initiated the idea of ​​domesticating animals to bring further benefits to humans. They established the criteria for the domestication of animals and followed it as such. Egypt also set a great example for the future dynasties and monarchies of the world when they not only appointed a king for their new dynasty, but also used this king to unite Upper and Lower Egypt. . The unification of countries will also be important for the countries of the future, as well as Bismarck's attempt to unite Germany which was successful but directly and indirectly led to many wars, including the First World War. Egypt was an example for Germany once again at war. For example, when Egypt was conquered by the Hyksos, their pharaoh Ahmose drove them out of Egypt and realizing that his army was sorely lacking, reformed the Egyptian army by choosing only members of the state bureaucracy from among the military commanders. Hitler did the same in Germany as it prepared for the inevitable war (World War II). Hitler promoted members of his Nazi Party to higher positions in the army and began building new weapons for war. I talked about the importance of the unification of Egypt and how the unification was also important... middle of paper... nuclear bombs. The Cold War began from a place of mistrust and secrecy between the United States and the Soviet Union regarding the creation and use of nuclear weapons. Both sides were concerned about the balance of power when it came to weapons, just as European countries did during the period of absolute monarchies. The information age is also known as the digital age. It is called this because we know that information is important for society and therefore we have made it easily accessible. With the simple click of a couple of buttons anyone can find out what's happening on the other side of the world. Information can be transferred easily and the sheer simplicity of information sharing has made the era we live in what it is. Throughout history and its connections we see minor coincidences, direct and indirect causes and, above all, we see lessons to follow in the future..
