Choose two correct asnwers to answer the question
I apologize for the confusion. My previous response provided possible causes that contributed to the increased economic and military power of the Sumerians, but did not specify which ones are correct.

However, based on historical information, two correct answers that contributed to the increased economic and military power of the Sumerians are:

1. Development of a complex irrigation system: The Sumerians built a sophisticated network of canals and levees to control the flow of water, enabling them to irrigate their fields and increase agricultural productivity. This led to surplus food production, economic stability, and population growth, which in turn supported their military capabilities.

2. Trade networks with other civilizations: The Sumerians were located at a strategic geographic location, situated between various resource-rich regions. They engaged in extensive trade with neighboring peoples, exchanging goods such as textiles, metals, and agricultural products. This trade not only enhanced their economic prosperity but also facilitated the acquisition of military technology and strategic alliances, contributing to their military power.

Trading with other civilizations allowed the Sumerians to access valuable resources, expand their economic activities, and potentially acquire new military technologies or form alliances with other powerful entities.
