Assyria and the Mitani Kingdom

Shamshe adad had been removed from the throne of his kingdom at the city of turka in modern dierezo governrate of syria. He came backin style by not only taking back his local kingdom, but by taking over the whole area of the old assyrian empire. After shamshir dad's death, the babylonians under hamarabi subjugated assyrian lands. But that would not last, and the assyrians would regain their independence. Babylonian influence would shrink back down to the area around their main cities, and during the sixteenth century b c e, would fall into the hands of the cassites.
