(Xenophon) The All Mighty Africans
Africa thrived from the beginning off the land abandoned in the Nile Delta by the nonexistent Egypt. In a blink of an eye it seemed, Africa had developed 9 cities that its leader was able to successfully sustain. Africa stayed neutral from the majority of conflict except that of the evil Assyrians. The evil Assyrians took over the Africans' land during civil war after Assyria's empire had already fallen. One would think that Assyria would be thankful to have a new empire after their self destruction. BUT NO. That is untrue. Assyria took advantage of receiving cities and men adjacent to Africa. Assyria attacked the innocent Africans who had been through so much during the civil war. Assyria continued frequently to invade Africa's territory out of pure hatred. Assyria's hatred got in the way of its success. Their leader was willing to put it all on the line in order to take out Africa. This meant killing even more of its innocent people. This was wrong. Assyria's invasion deflected any chance of improvement in their civilization as well as them becoming the least technologically advanced city. Assyria's personal strategy affected their success on land and in technology in addition to murdering so many innocent people. The Africans never let this get to their head and remained strong throughout. They continued to rebuild following civil war and advanced technologically. Africa did not go after Assyria but put up a front in order to save its people and success. Follow the African leader's ethics, he knew what to do.
