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.
Ancient Assyria covered the vast majority of northern Mesopotamia. King Hammurabi of Babylon conquered Assyria after Shamshi-Adad's death, which made Assyria a vassal state. When Ashur-uballit I seized the throne of Assyria in the 14th century B.C., he conquered Babylon, returning the capital to Ashur.
