How were Indo-European steppe tribes different from Indian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese societies before 800 B.C.E.?
  1. Indian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese societies were much more concerned with expansionism than the Indo-Europeans.
  2. Indo-European steppe tribes were more likely to have created religious architectural monuments.
  3. Indian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese societies created permanent settlements, with wealth based upon land ownership.
  4. Monarchies ruled Indian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese societies; Oligarchies ruled the Indo-Europeans.
Explanation
Answer - C - Indo-European steppe tribes were different from Indian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese societies before 800 B.C.E. because Indian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese societies created permanent settlements, with wealth based upon land ownership.

Key Takeaway: The main difference between steppe tribes and other ancient civilization was the patterns of their settlements. Before 800 B.C.E., Middle Eastern, Indian, and Chinese societies developed as sedentary societies. The Indo-European steppe tribes, however, kept up their nomadic traditions far past 800 B.C.E. Nomadic tribes are unlikely to create architectural monuments or create societies where wealth is based upon owning land.
