there are many theories or rather factors that led to the rise and fall of mesopotamia.

factors that led to the rise of mesopotamia

1.            geography and fertile soils

one of the most common factors that led to rise of mesopotamia is geography and fertile soil. mesopotamia boundaries was marked by two great rivers, river tigris and euphrates that facilitated mesopotamia people with sufficient water to cultivate the fertile land.

2.            agriculture and animal domestication

according to archeologists, people in this region had a better understanding of agriculture which gave them sufficient food and power to rise to civilization. as more and more people stopped the early form of survival, hunting and gathering and focused on practicing agriculture and domesticating animals, civilization started to creep in this fitile land.

3.            stone-working technology

people had enough food and the resourceful environment provided them with other resources such as minerals and metals which they used to trade and develop mesopotamia. they used the stone-working technology to build their houses and other social places such the churches.

4.            favorable environment

with all the resources at hand and favorable environment, mesopotamia people settled in one place and started forming a community that gradually evolved to form civilization in which a common culture was shared. apart from agriculture, mesopotamia environment gave its people the opportunity to specialize in jobs such as priest, solders, medicine men, and architects among other jobs.

factors that led to the fall of mesopotamia

1.            irrigation techniques

mesopotamia people used water from the two rivers to irrigate their lands which left behind mineral salts making the soil highly poisonous for the plants to grow. in 2300 bc, mesopotamia was hit by a shattered agricultural economy as the soil could not support farming.

2.            war

historians say that another factor that led to the fall of mesopotamia was war. in 2000 bc, sumerian dynasty collapsed leaving the region full of chaos and confusion. different cities rose against each other to gain territory paving way for invaders to capture the region. in 1900 bc, amorites captured the region and introduced a centralized government. later, hittites invaded the region ending the babylonian empire.
