Question

The Hyksos military invasion of Egypt resulted in which of the following?

A. Foreigners became Egyptian allies
B. foreign troops were hired as Egyptian mercenaries
C. foreigners were viewed as more trustworthy
D. foreigners became enemies to be attacked/conquered, leading to the Egyptian Empire

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter A.

A balanced relationship between the Hyksa and Egyptian authorities was shaken by a seemingly banal feud. According to the report of documents of this period, many of these fights occurred because the Hyksos rulers sought in every way to legitimize and extend their powers by adopting many of the traditions and customs developed by the Egyptians. By contrast, the Egyptians did not resign themselves to the loss of a rich and significant portion of their domains.
