Egypt
Data
- Background[1]
-
Located in Northern Africa along the Mediterranean Sean and the Red Sea, the Arab Republic of Egypt is considered one of the world's greatest civilizations. The kingdom unified in 3200 B.C. and lasted through several dynasties before the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Mamluks, Ottoman Turks, and eventually the British took turns controlling the territory. Egypt gained independence and sovereignty after World War II as the country suffered through economic reform and both communication and physical issues in society. With limited arable land, populations quickly growing, and complete dependence on the Nile River, it is obvious how the honored landmark and ecology of Egypt is struggling.
