Where did Cleopatra spend her childhood?

Cleopatra spent lots of her childhood in her palace in Egypt with her father and siblings, however for some of her childhood she was in rome with her father to ask for help to reclaim the throne.


What did Cleopatra do to help Egypt?

Cleopatra did absolutely nothing to help Egypt. She imposed high taxation, let the infrastructure of the country crumble (the Romans had to drag the delta canals because they were all silted up) and then lost the country to Rome.


Why did Rome take over Egypt?

For a variety of reasons. Early on, they had a simple solution with enemies who attacked them: conquer the enemy and rule them. Then there were enemies who conquered other places to use to attack Rome, so when they fought those enemies, they conquered all those places their enemy had ruled. Then there were countries they conquered during civil wars, such as Greece and Egypt. One side would go to another country to get support, and the other would come after him. No matter which man won, the other country ended up being a Roman province. Others were obtained when someone asked for help, but when the enemy had been defeated the legions didn't go home, and the people they'd gone to help realized they'd become a Roman province. Some were conquered for prestige -- generals who conquered some land for Rime became famous and popular. A few places were conquered to make the borders more even and shorter. The interesting thing about Rome is that they never set out to have an empire. They just had a very simple policy about enemies: conquer them, so you're safe because they can't attack any more; then they had a very effective army so when someone needed a place to organize a civil war those places got conquered. One historian has said that Rome just tried to stay safe, and one day realized they almost ruled the world.
