Conquest in Mesopotamia was driven by several key factors:

1. Geographic Location: Mesopotamia, meaning "land between rivers," was located in a fertile region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This region supported abundant agriculture, making it desirable for those seeking to gain control over its resources.

2. Rich Natural Resources: Mesopotamia had access to valuable resources such as clay, timber, metals, and stone. These resources were crucial for the development of advanced civilizations, and controlling them provided significant economic advantages.

3. Trade Routes: Mesopotamia served as a crucial hub for trade between various regions, connecting the continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa. Controlling Mesopotamia allowed empires to dominate and profit from the trade networks, making it a strategic location for expansion.

4. Strategic Importance: Mesopotamia's location between different empires and regions made it a constant target for conquest. Its flat and open terrain, lacking natural barriers, made it relatively accessible and easier to conquer.

To further explore this topic, you can refer to historical sources and literature that discuss the conquests of Mesopotamia, such as ancient inscriptions, archaeological findings, historical accounts, and academic research on the subject.
