Babylonian Wars

The Babylonian Wars refer to a series of conflicts involving the ancient city of Babylon, particularly during the time of the Babylonian Empire in the 18th century BCE and again in the 6th century BCE. These wars often centered around territorial expansion, power struggles, and control over trade routes in the region of Mesopotamia. Key figures include Hammurabi, known for his code of laws, and later Nebuchadnezzar II, who expanded Babylon’s influence. These conflicts shaped the political landscape of the ancient Near East, making Babylon a significant cultural and military power in its era.
