(a)Internal threats refer to the possible dangers that come from within a kingdom or an empire.
(b)They could be in the form of natural disasters such as widespread,earthquakes or floods, or man-made events like civil wars.
Floods would destroy homes and crops,and it may also drown people and animals.The Indus Valley cities had to be rebuilt several times because of FLOODS!!Another natural disasters that caused much suffering in ancient India was famines.A famine is a period of severe food shortage.It often occurs after a drought,a period of little or no rain.Without rain, crops die,resulting in food shortage.
(c)They took measures by distributing food stored in the government's grain stores to the people.They could also take some food from the rich to feed the starving.In addition,temples were expected to provide food for the people.They also took measures of warfares by diplomacy which they have good relationships with the rulers of other kingdoms.They did this so that the friendship, support and trade relations they formed would benefit their kingdoms.They also have a spying system where some kings sent spies to the provinces to keep an eye on the people and inform the kings of any suspicious behaviour.

a) Internal threats are threats that came from within the country and usually came in the form of natural disaters.

b) Some examples of internal threats would be floods and famines, and also rebellion.

c) Measures taken included the king in Ancient India to distribute food to the poor during famines, building dykes in Ancient China during floods.
A spy system was formed as the kingdom was too big and the king do not know what is happening in cities far away from the capital city. Thus, the emperor sent spies to these cities to keep an eye on the people and report to the king of anyone suspicious.

b)The ancient China faced floods and famines which killed alot of people.They also faced Civil War.

c)The ancient China took measures by
First,they builted dykes to prevent flooding along the Yangtze River.
Second,Chinese emperors tried to control famine by stocking granaries with stores of rice,controling prices and shipping rice from other parts of China to places that were experiencing famine.
Last but not least,the shi respected their king and supported him .However ,later in the Eastern Zhou dynasty,the shi became greedy for more land and the king could no longer control them .Thus ,fighting between the different feudal states broke out,resulting in Civil Wars.The most famous civil war in china occurred during this period.It is known as the Period Of The Warring States.The wars the kingdoms fought were violent.Large armies and iron weapons were used,all for the first time in China.As a result ,many people were killed....

a)Internal Threats are the dangers which came from inside the empire/kingdom that might threaten the walfare and the life of the people living in the empire

b)The three internal threats are famines,floods and civil wars.Famine happened after a drought.During a drought,there is no water and thus,leading to the death of the crops.When there is no food,people will die due to lack of food.Flood also threaten the city as floods will destroy crops,kill animals and people living there and will also destroy cities.Civil wars also happen as when the people living under the emperor's rule think that the emperor is becoming weaker and does not have the ability to rule the empire anymore.Thus,they will have a rebellion and overthrow the emperor.

c)Emperors were asked to help to supply food when there is famine happening around the empire.The Emperor also build dykes to maintain the water level in the empire.Civil wars were also prevented as there was a spy system so that the emperor know what is happening outside the empire.

b)Three of the threats would be Famine(a period of food shortage), floods that destroyed homes and crops, and drown people and animals and rebllions.

c)Kings of ancient India were expected to threat famine by distributing food stored in the government's grain stores(grainary) to the people. They could also take some food from the rich to feed it to the poor and starving.In ancient China, the farmers prevented flooding by building their own dykes.The emperors employed large number of workers to build and maintain the dykes.Ancient India society created a spy system to ensure less rebellion in ancient India. The authority of an Indian King was strongest only in his capital city, rebellions often occured in the provinces. Thus, some kings sent spies to the provinces to keep an eye on the people and inform the kings of any suspicious behaviour.

During a famine,the Indian kings were expected to distribute food stored in the government's grain stores to the people. The kings could also take some food from the rich to feed the starving. Temples were also expected to provide food for the people.

In warfare,the king also ensure that his people did not rise up against his rule and overthrow him. Some rulers have good relationship with the rulers of other kingdoms,so that the friendship,support and trade relation they forned would benifit their kingdoms.

"Online Assignment 2 - Internal Threats"

(A)I can understand that Internal Threats are,possible dangers that come from within a kingdom or empire.
Examples of such threats are,floods,famine,rebellions and civil wars.

(B)Three of these Internal Threats are Floods,Famines and Rebellions.

(1)Floods.Floods in India were a constant threat to the people of the ancient India.The major natural disaster that threatened the Indus People was the flooding of the Indus River.The floods would destroy homes,crops and drown people and animals.

(2)Famines.One of the other natural disaster in ancient India was famine.A famine,is a period of severe food shortage.They occur mostly after a *drought(A period of little or no rain).So without rain,crops die and so resulting in food shortage.It can also be caused by floods which washes away crops and plants.

(3)Rebellions.Rebellion break out when farmers were unhappy with the emperor and his laws,or when they think he is losing his *Mandate Of Heaven(The ruler is given blesing by the heaven to be a good ruler).Natural disasters were believed to be signs of the emperors lost of his Mandate Of Heaven.

(B)
(1)Floods.To prevent floods from India,the Indus Valley's city walls and houses had to be rebuilt several times.Mohenjo-Daro had to be rebuilt six times while Harappa had to be rebuilt five times.Despite all the hard work by the people,the Indus Valley Civilisation was wiped out by a great series of floods.

(C)Famines.During the Famines of India,the kings were expected to distribute food stored in the government's grain stores to the people.They could also take some food from the rich to feed the starving.Also,temples were expected to provide food for people.

(3)Rebellions.Rebellions in China are caused by the bad ruling of emperors.So,a group of starving and angry farmers,who were known as Red EyeBrows,broke into Wang Mang palace and killed him when he introduced unpopular policies.And Wang Mang was losing his Mandate Of Heaven when natural disasters broke out.

Lastly,rebellion.Folk stories suggest that ancient Indian kings who made their people angry by introducing unpopular laws such as high taxes,could be overthrown by rebellion led by ordinary people.

(a)Internal threats are possible dangers that come from within a kingdom or an empire.

(b)Ancient India internal threats include Floods,Famines and Warfare and Rebellion.
(1)Floods
A major natural disaster that threatened the Indus people was of the flooding of Indus River.Floods would destroy homes and crops,and drown people and animals.
(2)Famines
A famine is a period of severe food shortage.It often occurs after a drought.Without rain,crops die,resulting in food shortage.A famine can also be caused by a flood because crops and plants are washed away by the waters.
(3)Warfare and rebellion
For much of its ancient period,India was troubled by frequent wars between rival kingdoms.


(c)Ancient India:
Warfare and rebellion
(Diplomacy:)
Not all rulers want to conquer other kingdoms.They did this so that the friendship,support and trade relations they formed would benefit their kingdoms.
(Rebellion:)
An ancient Indian Kingalso had to make sure that his people did not rise up against his rule and overthrow him.IT OCCURS WHEN THE people ARE UNHAPPY WITH THE RULER;WHEN THEY THINK he is weak and not ruling well.
(Having a spy system:)
Some kings sent spies to the provinces to keep an eye on the people and inform the kings of any suspicious behaviour.In addition,royal princes who were sent to govern distant provinces had to leave their families in the capital city.Hence,the princes would think twice before defying the kings since their families would suffer the consequences of their actions.

a)Internal threats refers to possible that come from within a kingdom or an empire and they could be in the form of natural disasters.

b)Floods,famines and rebellion are internal threats that were faced by ancient Indian and Chinese societies.
In ancient India,floods would destroy homes and cops,and drown people and animals.For famine,it is a period of severe food shortage and it often occurs after a drought.Without rain,the crops would die,resulting in food shortage.It can also be caused by a flood because crops and plants were all washed away by waters.Rebellion,it occurs when people are unhappy with their ruler,for example,when they think he is weak and not ruling well.In ancient China,floods,the most common and serious was the flooding of the yellow and Yangtze rivers.Famines became more serious as China's population grew.Rebellion,there were peasant and military rebellion in the ancient China.Peasant rebellions broke out when the farmers were unhappy with the emperor and his laws,or when they thought that he was losing the Mandate of Heaven.As for the military rebellions,it occurs when an army,led by its leader,seeks to overthrow the ruler.

c)In ancient India,the Indus valley cities had to rebuilt several times due to the floods.In ancient China,Chinese emperors tried to control famines by stocking granaries with stores of rice,controlling prices and shipping rice from other parts of China to places that were experiencing famines.During military rebellion,when the court officials protested,the emperor punished them instead and this caused the officials to become angry with the emperor.

(a)I understand that internal threats are possible dangers that come from within a kingdom or empire.Examples are floods.famine,rebellions,civil wars.
(b)The three internal threats that faced ancient india is floods,famines and rebillions.Example are floods as archaelogists evidence shows that indus cities were rebuilt several times.Famines is a short period that caused by droughts.Rebillions as kings sent spies to watch over the princes.The internal threat that faced by ancient chiana is floods,famines and rebillions.Examples are floods as in 1000CE,emperors built and maintained dykes using large numbers of people.Famines is a occurred when population increased.Rebillions in ancient china have two so one is occured when peasants were unhappy with the emperor and the another is occured when an army,led by its leader,seeks to overthrow the ruler.
(c)The measures took by the ancients societies is the indian kings shoulds help their people during a famine.The kings were expected to distribute food stored in the government's grain stores to the people.The chinese emperorthen controlling prices and the shipping of rice from other parts of china to places at where they experiencing famine.
