(“mesopotamia” was a ‘historical region’ situated within the ‘tigris’–’euphrates’ river system, in modern days roughly corresponding to most of ‘iraq’ plus ‘kuwait’, the eastern parts of ‘syria’, ‘southeastern turkey’, and regions along the “turkish-syrian” and “iran–iraq” borders)
.
(the “sumerians” + ‘akkadians’ (including ‘assyrians’ + ‘babylonians’) dominated ‘mesopotamia’ from the beginning of ‘written history’ (c. 3100 BCE) to the ‘fall of babylon’ in ‘539 BCE’, when it was conquered by the “achaemenid empire”)
(it fell to “alexander the great” in ‘332 BCE’, and after his death, it became part of the “greek seleucid empire”)
(around ‘150 BCE’, ‘mesopotamia’ was under the control of the ‘parthian empire’)
(‘mesopotamia’ became a battleground between the ‘romans’ and ‘parthians’, with western parts of ‘mesopotamia’ coming under ephemeral ‘roman control’)
(in ‘AD 226’, eastern part of it fell to the ‘sassanid persians’)
(division of ‘mesopotamia’ between ‘roman’ (‘byzantine’ from ‘AD 395’) and ‘sassanid’ empires lasted until the 7th century ‘muslim conquest’ of ‘persia’ of the ‘sasanian empire’ and ‘muslim conquest’ of the ‘levant’ from ‘byzantines’)
(a number of primarily ‘neo-assyrian’ and ‘christian’ native ‘mesopotamian states’ existed between the ‘1st century BC’ and ‘3rd century AD’, including ‘adiabene’, ‘osroene’, and ‘hatra’)
(“mesopotamia” is the site of the earliest developments of the ‘neolithic revolution’ from around ‘10,000 BC’)
