(Livy)The beginning, the end, and then the beginning again for Assyria
It all began with the argument. Who should be the leader of Crete? Former leader of Crete wanted to be able to lead again. We know in past history this leader failed at leading the empire of Crete. The United Civilizations (later becoming the United Nations) made an unanimous decision to ban him from leading Crete again. Leader James decided to become Assyria following all the others leaders' decisions. From the beginning, Assyria hunted and ran after Crete. This was the beginning of the fall of the Assyrian empire. The desire to take over Crete led to the death of innocent people of Assyria and later the total self destruction of its empire. The first bad strategy was to avoid building cities or bringing improvement into its civilization and just move all troops toward Crete. This led to overpopulation and the death of many people. I think that Assyria should not have put its desires of the needs of its civilization to thrive. Later the Assyrian leader learned that he would be unsuccessful in taking over Crete. Following, he started the destruction of his own empire and killing off its population. A famine was the last straw and wiped out the entire empire. One would think this was the end for Assyria, but that would be wrong. Assyria returned following a civil war in Africa. This led to them taking parts of the Nile Delta. With Assyria's past, they had problems sustaining the cities they took during the civil war. Hopefully Assyrian leader will act and think rashly in the near future.
