Egypt Expulsion Of The Hyksos

Ever since visiting Egypt, I have had a huge interest in knowing more about the country. It is the first of the great territorial states that arose from ashes of chaos. Like many other countries drought brought catastrophe to their growing society. What interest me the most about the Hyksos in the New Kingdom Egypt, is how they figured out how to master the art of making horse chariots. They thundered into battle with their war chariots with superior bronze axes and composite bows. They were able to easily defeat other lands and the pharaoh’s soldiers. I found that they were able to conquer most others by having the chariots. It was some kind of power through a horse driven machine. They did not want to destroy their new founded lands, but

Egypt has one of the longest histories of any nation in the world. Written history of Egypt dates back to about 5,000 years, the commencement of civilization. While there is divergence in relation to Early Egyptian times, it is said that Egypt came to be around 3200 B.C., during the reign of a king by the name of Menes and unified the northern and southern cities of Egypt into one government. In 1675 B.C., Egypt was invaded by the Hyksos, people from the east, bringing along the very first of chariots and horses ever to come across Egyptian soil. Approximately 175 years later in 1500 B.C., the Egyptians had gotten rid of the Hyksos and driven them out. In 1375 B.C., Amenhotep IV had become the king of Egypt.

Due to Hatshepsut’s extensive trading expeditions, military campaigns were scarce because there was no need for going to war with other countries such as Punt, since they are already making alliances with each other through trade. However, there were times where Hatshepsut was in battles with other countries, her intention was to obtain peace for her people. Hatshepsut even made foreign policies that was focused on trade rather than war because she wanted create friendship with neighbouring states. Likewise, Hatshepsut objected the idea of invading other countries and starting wars, as she thought that by having little to no warfare would make her country more stable. Hatshepsut presented herself as a wise leader thus also making her a momentous pharaoh because she was able to find another way of bringing peace into her kingdom without the use of military and warfare. As a result, the citizens of Egypt lived in tranquility under Hatshepsut’s

At the end of the Middle Kingdom, the Hyksos people invaded Egypt. The Hyksos most likely migrated from Western Asia in Syria-Palestine, but have no clear origin where they are from. The Egyptians called these people hikau-khausut which means "ruler of the foreign countries”. The Hyksos were technologically advanced and because of that they had a strong military. The Egyptians had been isolated from the growing and progressing world by the deserts which surround the country. Because of this isolation, the Egyptians were unprepared for any attack and had a weaker military force. Instead of protecting themself they relied on their natural borders to shelter them from invasion. When the Hyksos invaded Egypt, they left a lasting impact on Egypt’s lifestyle by introducing the Egyptians to different trade methods, diversifying their economy, and exposed exposing them to new military techniques.

The First Persian War took place at the Battle of the Marathon near Athens and it was known as one of the infamous battle between the Athenians and the Persians. In 501 B.C.E., a Greek tyrant named Aristogorus provoked the Persian rulers by instigating an uprising in Miletus and Ionia to revolt against the Persian Empire.
