The first states developed in regions known as the "cradles of civilization," primarily in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) around 3500 BCE. This area, situated between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, saw the emergence of complex societies due to fertile land and agricultural advancements. Other early states arose independently in regions such as ancient Egypt along the Nile River, the Indus Valley in present-day Pakistan, and the Huang He (Yellow River) Valley in China. These regions facilitated the growth of urban centers, trade, and centralized governance.
