Hello, Adbates, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Conquering the Ottomans[edit]
Bates' civilization was always advanced technologically, although generally the people were peaceful throughout their early history and into the 1800's. Maintaining isolationist values, they refused to share much of their technological wealth with the rest of the societies and mostly led as silent pioneers of the scientific front. Often, literature describes some of their creations as being inspiration for other civilzations decades past when the technology was first discovered. They used this advantage, at first, solely for financial gain. Quickly they exploited the early discovery of iron and coal, trading these and other luxury resources to amass large monetary sums.
