The history of Africa and the Middle East is a history that often centers on conquest and empire-building. Why was this a major trend in both of these regions from the second millennium B.C.E. all the way into the 20th century C.E.? What were the motivations for people and states to engage in expansion and the conquest of other peoples and states? Were the reasons similar in both regions and throughout the almost 4,000 years of history or did the motives vary by time and place?
