Q1) Why have historians called the Assyrian Empire of the first millennium B.C.E. the first correct empire?
Answer: Students should recognize the essential distinction between the Assyrian Empire and previous "empires," such as Sargon's Akkadian state, Hammurabi's Babylon, and New Kingdom Egypt. Whereas the earlier empires were relatively compact entities with homogeneous populations, the resurgent Assyrian Empire ruled over diverse peoples and enormous lands. At first an aggressive program of self-protection brought about expansion, but later the Assyrians were driven by greed and religious conviction, fighting to control western Asia's long-distance trade routes. Control of those territories guaranteed them access to vital resources such as iron and silver, as well as promised taxes and tribute. The Assyrians defeated each of their rival kingdoms and peoples and established a large and diverse empire. Its effect was largely to bring wealth to the imperial core while plundering the vanquished periphery.
