Detailed explanation-1: -City-states in Mesopotamia. In the late 4th millennium BC, Sumer was divided into many independent city-states, which were divided by canals and boundary stones.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ancient Sumer-City-States: Sumer grew rapidly. Soon, there were hundreds of villages and towns, some with populations of only a few hundred and some with populations of 30, 000 or more. Cities became the centers of trade, learning, and religion and offered people more opportunities than life in the country.
Detailed explanation-3: -There were seven great city-states, each with its own king and a building called a ziggurat, a large pyramid-shaped building with a temple at the top, dedicated to a Sumerian deity. Although the Sumerian city-states had much in common, they fought for control of the river water, a valuable resource.
