Answer 2

I can tell you about these four in general:

-Mesopotamia
-Egypt
-Indus Valley
-Early China

Well, first of all, they were all river valley civilizations. I remember Mesopotamia was polytheistic.. And that the civilization invented the wheel. They also were the first civilization to use bronze. Sorry I wasn't much of help here.. We're learning this too in Freshman WH :)

Egypt obviously lived along the Nile River, and had much silt, so naturally they grew, agriculturally, very well.. Although there were a few times when the flooding of the Nile, which caused the silt to be deposited in the fields, was either too high or too low. If it was too low, obviously people starved because of the lack of food. If it was too high, it might have destroyed homes.

I'm not quite so sure about Indus Valley and ancient China.. Although I know that China was the first to introduce the Mandate of Heaven, which is similar to the divine right to rule. Also, they introduced feudalism, which is giving rights to rule to trusted nobles or other members of the royal family. This normally happens when the ruler controls a large area of land. Oh yeah, and although Chinese is hard to learn, it did have its advantage: The way of writing is universal. Which means, people from, lets say, the northern end of China met with the southern end, and they spoke in different dialects, they would still be able to understand each other through writing.

Again, sorry, my knowledge (he he) is kind of limited right now.. But I hope I was of some help.

Go to Wikipedia and search everything on your list. Each article will give you points to remember. Check out how each place is the same and how are they different. When were they established and why? and by whom? Make a timeline of when they were established and how they are related.
