Answer:

Mesopotamia's location between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers played a major role in developing civilization. Rivers helped the civilization to thrive because rivers play a key role in providing fertile land and trade routes. Rivers provided water for farming, fishing and a source of fresh drinking water which helped the people to settle in Mesopotamia region to flourish and develop into civilization.
