Akkadian Empire (1 janv. 2334 av. J.-C. – 1 janv. 2100 av. J.-C.)

Description:

In 2334 BCE, Sargon of Akkad began a series of
conquests. He quickly established Akkad’s control
over several weaker city-states in the region. To support his wars, Sargon created the world’s first full-time army.
This army was made up of around 5,400 soldiers. It allowed Sargon to build the world’s first empire. His empire
stretched from the Persian Gulf to what is now Turkey.
The Akkadian Empire did not last long after Sargon’s death. Once the empire fell apart, Mesopotamia returned to
being a collection of warring city-states. However, the region was not without an empire for long.
