Iron Age transition
The Iron Age marks a significant period in human history when societies began using iron to make tools and weapons, replacing bronze. This transition occurred around 1200 BCE in some regions, leading to advancements in agriculture, trade, and warfare. As iron is more abundant and stronger than bronze, it allowed for improved farming equipment and stronger weapons, which helped communities grow and expand. This era also saw the rise of complex societies and changes in social structures, ultimately shaping the future of civilizations in Europe, Asia, and beyond.
