Military power

The military is a important part of all empires

the military can be used as police (to control civilians)

Having a strong military gives power and confidence to the empire

the military can be used to invade other empire's land, to have more valuable resources

the military can be used to protect the empire borders (border guard) this is a important role as land contains resources and resources are a important aspect to see if a empire is rich and powerful or not.

which one of democracies, monarchies, oligarchies, and authoritarian and totalitarian regimes is the aksum empire?

aksum empire is part of the monarchies

this means they have a positioning of nobles and peasents

this could boost the amount of work people do as they all want to be a noble or have a higher ranking on the hierarchy

could be unfair to those who are lower on the hierarchy therefore people could protest.

propaganda (Government uses fake information to praise their own society to make civilians think they are the best)

use military power to show off how prepared and ready theya re for any situation

use military power to control civilians

the highest class in the hierarchy is the king and his courtiers (these people make the rules and rule the land of the empire)

the lowest class on the hierarchy would be farmers, slaves and traders

we can see from this that traders were common, as the ore common of something, the less its value.

this shows that trading was common, which also meant this empire was not stuck with the materials they already have

gold

ivory

salt

agriculture

timber

animal fur/skin

Meat
