they could not conquer other empires
it covered an area from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf
It didn't actually stop, it evolved with the birth of other kingdoms and states
it wasn't Mesopotamia that conquered anything, but rather other people conquered Mesopotamia.
The first leaders like Hammurabi and Sargon made the right choices to be a good role model to other people. With the use of Sargon's war skills and Hammurabi's laws, an empire could stand for years! And so other leaders used the same skills that Sargon and Hammurabi used to keep their city-state/empire safe.
Assyria's military power and well-organized government helped build a vast empire in Mesopotamia by 650 BC. It did not hurt that there was already a substantial population in Mesopotamia who could be harnessed both for their agricultural ability, but also to be draft soldiers in the Assyrian Army.
Some of Mesopotamia's trading partners were Egypt, India, and other city states in Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia was formerly known as Jezirah and Baghdad which were the respective names for the upper and lower Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia is the present day Iraq.
Other than the fertile crecent, there is no other name for Mesopotamia.
The Hittite were a group of people in Anatolia who founded an empire around 1600 BCE. The empire reached its height in the 14th century BCE where it encompassed the majority of Asia Minor, the Levant, and parts of Mesopotamia. The rise of the Hittite Empire eventually brought them into conflict with other powers in the region, namely the Egyptian and Assyrian empires. Conflict with the Egyptians weakened the Hittites, who had to fight against encroachment by the Assyrians in Mesopotamia. Eventually, through the expansion of the Assyrians and the "Sea Peoples" taking over the coast of the Levant, the Hittite Empire collapsed.
Monotheism is the biggest difference of Abraham's religion and the religions of other people in Mesopotamia.
