how was it such an impact?
What started the fall?
- The assyrians ended up losing so much of their territory!
- there was so much territory to control, popultion bloom, and severe drought
- too much territy to control led to the fall of the Assyrian Empire
what started the fall?
The assault of the Babylonians
- The assyrian empire collapsed under the assualt of babylonians
- The babylonians had never been content to merely be a part of the Assyrian Empire (to me they seemed jealous)
- Nabopolassar rose against the Assyrian empire
- When the Assyrian counter attack failed, Napolassar had himself crowned king, restoring babylon.
