Detailed explanation-1: -After Hammurabi died, his sons took over. However, they were not strong leaders and soon Babylon grew weak. In 1595 the Kassites conquered Babylon. They would rule for 400 years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hammurabi (1792–1750 BCE), the sixth and best-known ruler of the Amorite dynasty, conquered the surrounding city-states and designated Babylon as the capital of a kingdom that comprised all of southern Mesopotamia and part of Assyria.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Fall of Babylon denotes the end of the Neo-Babylonian Empire after it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire in 539 BCE.
Detailed explanation-4: -The late Babylonian Empire controlled the Fertile Crescent, including most of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel. The first written mention of Babylonia’s famous capital city, Babylon, dates to about 3800 B.C.E. During that time, most of Mesopotamia was made up of Sumerian city-states.
Detailed explanation-5: -For much of his reign, Hammurabi relied upon diplomacy to advance Babylonia’s interests, while building up his military. It wasn’t until later years that he turned to force. It was a long-range game, but he had time to play it, since he was crowned at a much younger age than other kings in the region.
