... little rain, the sporatic and frequently violent spring-time flooding of the two rivers provide for the replenishment of the regions soil. Harsh deserts border Mesopotamia to the south and west, and perilous mountains separate her northern and eastern extremities from the outside world. In order to survive the perils of their environment, the Mesopotamians devoted much time and effort to the taming their chaotic rivers.

... In December of 1825, an uprising from the populace occures when they demand changes to the economic system.
