Ancient History Order Description   Drawing from the readings and the video clip this week, provide at least two examples (e.g., the Black Death, the effect of the Mongols, or events in Africa) when civilizations were affected by geography and/or wars. Your response should address how geography and/or wars influenced social, cultural, and economic characteristics of civilizations.
