How did the environment of arabia serve as a form of protection during much of the region's history?this test needs to be turned in before

The Arabian Peninsula is a very harsh place. It is mostly covered by vast deserts, the sand storms are a regular occurrence, there's no rivers with constant water flow, and food is very scarce. This all made it very unattractive and risky for exploration or invasion by the other civilizations, so they just left the area and people in there to be in relative isolation for centuries, and that contributed to the development of the unique Arabian culture.

pepin the short[a] (german: pippin der kurze, french: pépin le bref, c. 714 – 24 september 768) was the king of the franks from 751 until his death. he was the first of the carolingians to become king.[b][2]

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.
