(A) An important similarity is that both were based around great rivers which made it possible to establish great civilization sbecause they could develop agriculture and grow their own food and trade the surpluses with others, which made it possible to develop even more.

(B) An important difference was the geographic location. Egypt had Nile while Mesopotamia had Tigris and Euphrates which made it possible to develop multiple cities in various locations on the two rivers and these city states were not a big nation like Egypt was until they were united by Sargon.

(C). One factor why this was important for the geographical position is that Egypt was surrounded by the desert and Nile and thus were protected from foreign invasions with a geographical barrier. Mesopotamia waged war against others that surrounded it and the cities waged war against each other because they didn't have a geographic barrier and could be accessed from all sides.
