The Assyrians rose to establish what many historians consider to be the first empire. They succeeded because they had professional soldiers armed with iron weapons and aided by a cavalry and the machinery, including iron, and techniques for besieging towns. Because they conquered areas along trade routes, there was immediate economic rewards.
The Assyrians which date from 800 B.C. to 612 B.C. established their empire by being fierce warriors. What they seemed to have accomplished was improved weaponry. Their weapons were made of iron. This process of smelting was borrowed from the Hittites. The Assyrians used smelting to harden their weapons which were too soft whereby the Assyrians crushed their opponents. Stories of their cruelty led to surrender without opposition.
The Assyrians were the first to invent large cavalry squadrons. A special logistics branch, the Musarkisus, was created to keep the army supplied with horses. It was able to obtain 3,000 horses a month for military use. Once again, it was not until Napoleon that such large amounts of horses would be systematically procured for the army.
