The Chaldeans joined the Medes because the Chaldeans lost their power so they joined the Medes to fight the Assyrians... wrong!In 652 BC a series of wars broke out in the Assyrian Empire over who should rule. These wars greatly weakened the empire. Sensing this weakness, the Chaldeans led the Medes in attacking the Assyrians. In 612 BC they destroyed Nineveh and the Assyrian Empire. The Chaldeans were not strong and developed nor able to fight against Assyrians. They were just lucky the empire and Babylon were weak and swarming with conflicts...It is also important to note that the Assyrian Empire was a violent and repressive Empire, most non-Assyrians allied with the Medes if they were in a position to do so since the Medes offered a better alternative to the Assyrian government.
