The goal of dividing the Assyrian empire into smaller provinces and assigning governors to each was to achieve option B – to keep control of distant lands. By having a governor in each province, the Assyrian rulers could maintain direct control over the administration and governance of these territories. This allowed them to effectively manage and govern their empire, ensuring loyalty, collecting taxes, and maintaining military control over the various regions.
