Babylonian Empire 1900 bc - 1500 bc (mar 18, 1900 BC – dec 5, 1500 BC)

Description:

Facts: "Amorite nomads from the west establish themselves as local dynasts who initially form petty competing kingdoms throughout the region. Shamshi-Adad (ca. 1830–1776 B.C.) unites much of northern Mesopotamia, from Ashur on the Tigris to Mari on the Euphrates. His death allows Hammurabi (ca. 1792–1750 B.C.), king of Babylon, to expand his control of the south and unify much of Mesopotamia. The empire declines under succeeding kings and is brought to an end in a raid by the Hittites from Anatolia circa 1595 B.C."
