 * **Themes** || **How does this theme apply to your civilization?** ||
 * Political Structures and forms of governance || * Sumerian kings emerged into Mesopotamia, ventured their own societies, and later conflicts turned to wars.
 * Conquerors extended their authority and built empires that took over affairs of cities and people
 * Each king had their own way of governing their empire ||
 * Revolts and revolutions || * Sargon seized control and his empire embraced all of Mesopotamia
 * After Sargon's empires fell of rebellion, Hammurabi later reignd as king of four quarters of the world, and became a more effiecient ruler than Sargon since he had his own techniques
 * After Hammurabi's reign was over, Assyrians took over
 * However, Assyrian's empire was really unpopular which resulted in a fall and Babylonian empire was taking over for the second time ||
 * Empires || * Mesopotamian empires became stronger when Sumerian kings started improving on their reign
 * Hammurabi reigned the Babylonian empire and did a better job than Sargon because of his code, and ruling techniques
 * The Assyrian empire ruled after the Babylonian empire collasped but its domination was quite unpopular
 * So for half a century, Babylon once again dominated Mesopotamia after the Assyrian empire had fallen ||
 * Nations and nationalism || * For almost a millenium, Sumerians cities such as Babylon, Kish, Nippur, Lagash, Uruk, Ur, and Eridu dominated affairs in Mesopotamia
 * Basically, these empires ruled and took place in parts all over Mesopotamia ||
 * Regional, transregional, and global structures and organizations || * The organization of each empire was operated differently in their own ways
 * For example, Sumerian kings ruled in cooperation with nobles, Sargon reigned by conquering and seizing, Hammurabi ruled by a code, and Assyrians ruled by organizing powerful armies
 * The structure counted on whether kings ruled great or not, if not, their empire would fall because of rebellions ||
