Which statement best describes the relationship between resources and military conquest in the ancient world? Wealthy civilizations suffered fewer invasions.
Wealthy civilizations conquered neighboring areas.
Poor civilizations aggressively expanded into nearby lands.
Poor civilizations were less tempting targets for aggressive neighbors.

Wealthy civilizations conquered neighboring areas.

Explanation:

Land has always been a valuable resource and in the ancient world was a sign of how much power a nation possessed.

With the wealth accumulated by the wealthier civilizations, they were better able to not only raise armies but to equip them as well.

They would then use these armies to conquer neighbouring areas to increase their influence and area of control and to show how powerful they were.
