Historical Background:
Mesopotamia, often referred to as the "Cradle of Civilization," is located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in what is now modern-day Iraq. It was home to some of the earliest human civilizations, including the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians.


The region was known for the development of writing, urbanization, and complex societies. Over time, the land became part of various empires, such as the Persian Empire and later the Islamic Caliphates.

The name "Iraq" began to be used in the 6th century during the Sassanid Empire, and it became the official name of the modern state after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century.

Historical Background:
The Indus Valley Civilization was one of the world's earliest urban cultures, flourishing around 2600-1900 BCE in what is today Pakistan and northwest India. Known for its advanced cities like Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, the civilization developed early forms of writing, architecture, and social organization.


After the decline of the Indus Valley Civilization, the region saw a series of empires and invasions, including the Maurya and Gupta Empires, and later the Islamic Caliphates. In 1947, following the end of British rule in India, the region became the independent state of Pakistan, a name that reflects the Islamic identity of the new nation.

Historical Background:
The Roman Empire, which at its height in 117 AD encompassed much of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, was one of the most powerful empires in history. The city of Rome was the heart of this empire, which left a lasting legacy on law, government, architecture, and language.


After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, the region fragmented into various kingdoms and states. The modern nation-state of Italy was unified in the 19th century, but the Roman legacy continues to be a significant part of its cultural heritage.

Historical Background:
Persia, known for its rich history of empires such as the Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sassanid, was one of the most significant ancient civilizations, contributing greatly to art, science, and governance.


The name "Persia" was used by Westerners for centuries, derived from "Pars," a region of the empire. However, the local name for the country has always been "Iran," meaning "Land of the Aryans."

In 1935, Reza Shah requested that the international community refer to the country as Iran, aligning the name with what its inhabitants had called it for millennia.

cheesy

This is one of the reasons why i respect Egypt, Ethipia, Syria and Greece. They've managed to maintain the name and the territory from then to now

Egypt was never conquered at any point despite threatning expansive wars from Greece and Mongollia

Shame on Babylon and Assyria that werent strong enough to resist those world powers

The territories once occupied by Assyria and Babylonia are part of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran.

Why do you harbor such bitterness towards Nigeria? Your so-called Biafra, the region you claim to be from, is still part of Nigeria. You cannot love the mother and hate her child, or vice versa. So, why do you hate your own country so much? Is this hatred towards your birthplace something Kanu instilled in you?

Keep in mind that anything affecting Nigeria also impacts Biafra. Harming Nigeria indirectly harms Biafra, as the two are interconnected. It's important to recognize this "connection" and strive for unity, rather than division and animosity.


Peace!

You say Egypt was never conquered yet it was ruled by the Greek Ptolemy dynasty?

Egypt was never conquered, yet its inhabitants have changed from all sorts to the current Arab inhabitants?

Alexandria is named after Alexandra the great. The Arabs also conquered Egypt. Egypt was also colonized by the British.
