The leadership can be impacted by the resources of their civilization. If the civilization is prospering then the leader is praised and shown as a legend in history but a man who was on the downfall of the nation with little to no resources left is seen as a failure as a leader. The resources themselves also play a role as those who need more resources may try to expand the borders of their civilization. While others who have an excess of resources use their power to gain leverage and prestige over other nations. We see China create rulers that only Americans use as their measurement device. They use their resources to create things they donʻt use but others use that they can profit on. While this is a newer example it is clear that in earlier years when the population started to boom and enlightenment and more technological advancements were just growing you see WWI as a fight for resources. There are many wars in history for resources and it is one of the main reasons we have wars in the first place. -Kaleb |

Leadership qualities are created through the civilization's material wealth. When the leader is wealthy you can see him/her as cunning, creative, and beautiful. When the leader is poor the history books show them more as brawlers, vicious, and War leaders. This is usually because when you are poor your priority changes. The things looked for are now how do you stay alive and how do you keep your people fed and able to live. When resources are nowhere to be found the leader makes decisions like we need to fight to survive. When a leader is rich and prosperous the priority now is what can make life more lovely for my people. Better housing or perhaps more ways of communicating and getting out information. The traits of a leader change by the world around them because the world does not change for the leader.
