Best Answer

Hammurabi gained control of the lower Mesopotamian plain between 1781 BC and 1763 BC by fighting invaders from Elam with allies. Next he conquered northern Mesopotamia in 1759 BC. He then defeated the Assyrians and ousted king Ishme-Dagan I in 1750 BC just before his death. Assyria was not conquered. Instead Babylon ruled it indirectly and forced the next Assyrian king to pay a tribute. Hammurabi's son and successor faced unrest in the conquered areas and the Babylonian Empire quickly fragmented. Many important cities seceded.

When did the name changed?

The name "Babylon" has never changed. It refers to a specific Kingdom/Empire that existed in the region of Mesopotamia, but not the land that it controlled. When it was overthrown by the Achaemenid Persians in the 530s BCE, the empire disappeared and its citizens simply became Babylonian Persians or splintered back into their diverse pre-Babylonian ethnicities such as Judean, Aramean, Assyrian, etc. The name Iraq did not come to the fore until the Arab conquest of the area from the Sassanid Persians in 634 C.E. and Iraq simply was the Arabic name for Mesopotamia (which was a Greek name for the region).
