356 Words2 Pages
The roles of dominance and hegemony vary from empire to empire and ruler to ruler throughout the pre-modern era. The Egyptian empire exercised hegemony and the Middle East and European empires exercised a balance of the two.
Thutmosis I expanded Egypt’s power but ruled the conquered territories in an indirect manner. For example, the conquered countries of Syria and Palestine were able to remain self-governing. But Egypt had army units stationed there and administrative officials there to collect taxes. Trade was far more important to Egyptians than imperial rule. This was a positive thing in a sense.

Thomas McCormick’s essay titled The World-System, Hegemony, and Decline, presents some relevant questions that I am unable to answer by just reading his work. Firstly, alluding to economic freedom and freedom of the seas as main U.S. objectives with regards to foreign policy might not be entirely accurate. It is true that the United States have used and will continue to use its elements of national power to protect economic interests all around the world, but are these the only instances where the United States fight for other freedoms?

Egypt's economy is really based upon the Nile. They used the river for trade, it was very useful and allowed things to be traded easily. If they lived in the desert they wouldn't have been able to trade as much. They could transport goods back and forth in the river at very fast rates compared to on foot or horse.
