Best Answer

Assyria's military power and well-organized government helped conquer a vast empire in Mesopotamia by 650 BC. It did not hurt that there was already a substantial population in Mesopotamia who could be harnessed both for their agricultural ability, but also to be draft soldiers in the Assyrian Army.

The Assyrians were very fierce warriors, so fierce that hunting lions was just a mere sport to them, therefore they could go around and take over almost any other kingdom they wanted.
