Why did the Babylonian Empire fall?
Answer (2)
The city was invaded by Alexander the Great during 331 B.C, as a result, he overtook and took most of the people as slaves.
As the city was very old already during its time, people stopped giving importance and the civilisation s l o w l y started to fall apart. Just like the Romans. Even if they had a wealth of knowledge.
It became under Persian rule, The Greeks fir the last 3 centuries before it vanished.
The city therefore became derelict. All the statues and 'amazing' buildings which once were, all the building materials were stolen and cannibalised by working-class peasants.
The Babylonian Empire fell primarily due to weak leadership after Nebuchadnezzar II, internal conflicts, and the military rise of the Persian Empire, culminating in its capture by Cyrus the Great in 539 BCE. This shift led to Babylon's assimilation into the Persian Empire, which diminished its independent identity. The combination of these factors effectively ended the New Babylonian Empire's reign.
