In the same year, the Assyrian Ekaratu dynasty formed an alliance with the small states of Eshnenna, Guti, and Turuku and Kakmu in the Assyrian Subaltu region to attack Babylon again. In this battle, Hammurabi won a big victory.

After this victory, Hammurabi did not continue to fight on the Eastern Front, and the time had come for Babylon to no longer fear the threat of Armhard, who could attack Babylon at any time through Mari.

In that year, Hammurabi's army captured Mari and Malekum, respectively. The kings of both countries, Simri Lim and Ipik Ishtar, were captured. The Third Dynasty of Marry falls.

After a truce of several years, after the withdrawal of the Babylonian army, the people of the two places revolted, and Hammurabi suppressed the revolt and demolished the walls to remove the inhabitants. The historic Marry has since been destroyed.

The Third Dynasty of Mari experienced a total of 1 king, year.

> Yamhard period:

Around the time of ancient Babylon, the Yamhad dynasty emerged in Syria, with the capital of Harab or Halepa), which is very close to the pronunciation of Aleppo.

At that time, the Syrian region was dominated by the Yamhad dynasty as the leader of the city-states.

The Third Dynasty of Ebla became a vassal state of Armhard, and both Yamad and Ebra were kingdoms established by the Amorites of Western Semites.

At the beginning of the reign of Shamsh Attad I, King of the Assyrian Ekaratu Dynasty, the strength of the Second Murray Dynasty forced him to submit and occupy the capitals of Ashur and Ekaratu.

After a decade of power, Shamsh Attad I formed an alliance with the new Babylonian king, Sim Mupalit, to fight against Marai.

With the help of Babylon, Assyria recaptured the cities of Ashur and Erakathu, which were under the control of Mari.

The combined forces of Shamsh Attad I and King Tatusha of Eshnenna captured the kingdom of Urbilon between the Lesser and Lesser Zab rivers, Assyria gained territory, and Eshnenna took the booty. After that, there was a brief war between the two countries, but it ended peacefully and became equal allies.

Shamsh Attad I then conquered eastern Asia Minor and brought it into submission.

In the same year, due to the royal unrest related to the succession of Mari, Shamsh Attad I annexed the Second Dynasty of Mari. The second son of Shamsh Attad I, Jasuma Attad, became the Assyrian governor in Mari and began to control Mari.

In the early days of his reign, the Babylonian king Hammurabi submitted to the Assyrian king Shamsh Atad I.

Shamsh Atad I, his eldest son, Ishmael Dagan II, and second son, Jasuma al-Attad, continued to expand westward, defeating the Syrian power of Yamhad and expanding their territory to the Mediterranean coast.

By the time Hammurabi ascended the throne, the First Dynasty of Isin had fallen, and the original three kingdoms of Babylon had become a confrontation between the two great powers of Babylon and Larsa, surrounded by the great powers of Mari, Eshnenna, Elam, the Assyrian Ekrathu dynasty, and the Yamhad of Syria.

After the death of Shamsh Atad I, the Assyrian Empire began to disintegrate, and Jasuma Atad was overthrown by the new king of Marai, Simri Limu, and expelled back to Assyria.

After the second dynasty of Marui was destroyed by Assyria, the new king of Mari was originally a royal family of Mare, and had been taking refuge in Yamhad, which was established by the Amorites of Western Semite, a powerful country in Syria, and was later helped by Yaremrin, the king of Yamhard, and lent him troops to overthrow Assyria and get the throne of Marui.

In fact, the main problem is that the Assyrians were Eastern Semites, while the Yamhad were Western Semitic Amorites. Although the Maris were Eastern Semites, because of the hatred of destroying the country, they turned to Yamhard of the West Semitic Amorites for help, and got such an opportunity to weaken the Assyrian Ekaratu Dynasty established by the Eastern Semites, and Yamhard naturally did not miss it, and then Mari became a vassal state of Yamhard.

If Babylon wants to compete with the eastern powers, it must obtain a solid rear, and it is almost impossible to defeat Yamhard, who rules the entire Syrian region, at present, so Mari, as a subject of Yamhad, cannot be occupied, otherwise the two countries will have no buffer room. So the only viable way is to build alliances diplomatically.

Hammurabi is a West Semitic Amorite, and the Yamhad are both West Semitic Amorites, and even very close relatives, so it is not impossible for the two countries to establish an alliance.

The Maris also faced the threat of Assyria and therefore needed the support of Babylon, and although Armhard did not take a stand, the Maris responded positively to Babylon's request for an alliance. The two countries formally entered into a military alliance. The Babylonian rear threat was largely lifted.

In the same year, with the strong backing of Mari, Hammurabi led a coalition army to defeat the Larsa dynasty and capture the two city-states of Uruk and Isin, the last two cities that were subject to Larsa and originally belonged to the First Dynasty of Isin, and both cities were happy to submit to Babylonian rule because of their former allies with Babylon.

As a result, the Larsa dynasty declined, and Babylon became the most likely state to unify Mesopotamia.

This caused panic among the nations, and the northern nations saw Babylon as the greatest threat, and in that year, Elam, Guti, Eshnenna, and Malkum formed an alliance to attack Babylon.

Hammurabi responded calmly and fought a decisive battle with the Marish army and the Eshnenna army in the city of Siritum, defeating the allied forces of various countries.

After this battle, the power of the Elanguti dynasty was severely weakened and was destroyed by the Elanguti king Sivi Paralhupak.

After this victory, Hammurabi temporarily pacified the threat in the Akkadian region and turned his forces to the southern Sumerian region.

In the year, taking advantage of the serious illness of Remsin, Hammurabi's army attacked the Larsa Dynasty in the south, captured its capital in the north, Mashkent Shapil, and finally captured the city of Larsa, the birthplace of Larsa, and served as the king of the Larsa Dynasty, but in fact, the Larsa Dynasty at this time had already existed in name only, and there was only one city in Larsa.
