EQ: The Assyrians were a empire that lasted for about 50 years. The Assyrians had many rulers and expanded very much in its years. The Assyrians came to having so much power due to its organized armies and its wisdom of Iron that was gained from the Hittites. Eventually, the Assyrian people began to rebel. The people called the Chaldeans decided enough was enough and began a civil war. This civil war crumbled Assyria to dust. Assyria should have kept better liking of their people. The people that live in a country are the things that make up most of the country. If the people decide the country is not treating them right, enough of them could rebel as the Chaldeans did.
