Babylon Independence (627 BC): As a result of the crumbling condition of the Assyrian Empire, Babylon was able to assert its independence, taking control over the city and surrounding Mesopotamian regions.
The Assyrians were agressive and liked to conquer land. Mesopotamia was located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern day Iraq. One of the earliest civilizations known, Mesopotamia was active in agriculture, given its location in the Fertile Crescent. Grains and animal products were mostly produced during this time.
