The richness of the land attacted predatory nomads. The city-states could protect themselves adequatoly against wnadering tribes, but not against each other or organised nomadic invasions. If the cities banded together, this controlled the infighting amongst each other, and increased their strength to repel organised nomadic invaders. Such a confederation needed a controlling hand, and an over-king provided this. The desire for peace and prosperity was greater than their desire for independence, so a king and empire it became.
