EQ: How did the Civilization of Kush develop? Kush developed because they were once attached to Egypt. This gave them an idea of a government. When Kush broke away, they were ready to create a government.
Problems: When Egypt took over Nubia, the people they conquered were growing a hatred over time. When this hatred rose, it made them want to break away from Egypt. the citizens of a country are the main force of it. When they are not willing to work anymore, the country falls. |
