Detailed explanation-1: -The Assyrians governed their conquered lands by allowing defeated peoples to be ruled by a local leader or king. The local leader would rule under the direction of the Assyrians and would send tribute to the Assyrian emperor. That meant that the ruler had to pay for the protection given by the Assyrian army.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Assyrians were experts at siege warfare. They used battering rams, siege towers, and other tactics such as diverting water supplies in order to take a city. Their cities were strong and impressive.
Detailed explanation-3: -"Reliefs found at Assyrian palaces provide vivid images and textual descriptions of this brutality, including the dismembering (mainly hand amputations), skinning, decapitating, impaling, and burning of their victims."
