Hammurabi became king of Babylon during this time when it was still disregarded as an insignificant society. In order to develop and amplify Babylon 's power, Hammurabi was left no choice but to become allies with the powerful king of Ashur. He then conceded to letting king Ashur defeat nearby cities. Along with many rulers and kings in this time, Hammurabi had many secret allies in the other rival cities that kept him in the loop of any substantial changes or developments with his alliances or enemies (Lockard 37). He was aware of any troop movements when they occurred and could tell precisely if and when enemies were seeking to invade his domain. This held huge advantages over the neighboring rivals. Hammurabi was confident in his intelligence and as a result, engaged in a long series of wars which would lead to conquering all of southern Mesopotamia and even much of the north to his dominion. He united the Amorite rulers of cities like Sippar and Kish under his rule in Babylon. By uniting most of Mesopotamia Hammurabi was able to increase his military, influence, and economic trade claims. Babylon was then a worthy opponent of neighboring Assyria and Elam. Eventually, he looked to confront his former ally king Ashur, which was the strongest power in the region. He was successful with this objective as…

The scary, confusing, and traumatic face of war brings about pain and heartache, but also justice and security for a nation. Sadly, wars have been fought ever since civilization emerged, bt today wars are fought to protect the innocent civilians from harsh rulers and to keep a sense of peace and justice in the world.

According to Egyptian documents the Egyptians loved cats more than anything else. They honored them like we honor the president. The only people in ancient Egypt to have cats were the pharaohs. The pharaohs could not give, trade, or sell their cats to a foreigner. It would be a crime and was not tolerable. If you killed a cat you would be killed by other Egyptians. A roman soldier was once killed for accidently killing a cat. If you accidently kill a cat you would have to fake mourning to trick the other pharaohs into believing you didn't do it. If a cat were to die it would be turned into a mummy and would be buried on top of your coffin.…
