Tell us about the origin of the state of Assyria.

This ancient state arose in the 2nd millennium BC. in northern Mesopotamia. At the very beginning, Assyria occupied small territories, and was also a rather weak state, and therefore, it was soon swallowed up by its neighbors. In the middle of 2000 Assyria again manages to become a separate state. From that time on, she begins to constantly gain power. Thus, already in the 1st millennium BC. she was able to become one of the most influential states in Mesopotamia, and later in the entire Middle East.
