Why did the cities in sumer develop into separate city states?

At that period in time it was difficult to organize a larger empire. The bureaucracy required to maintain holdings far from direct control was not available. This led to control being limited to the distance a person could walk or run in a day's time (basically a city). Eventually, leaders like Sargon of Akkad were able to conquer multiple city-states and assemble small bureaucracies to help him administrate the landholdings, leading to the first empires.

Why did the first empire develop after nation states or city states?

The first empires developed after city-states and early nation-states primarily due to the need for larger political entities to manage increased trade, resource distribution, and military defense. As cities grew and populations expanded, the complexity of governance and the demand for security led to the consolidation of power under centralized authorities. Additionally, cultural and economic interactions among neighboring city-states often resulted in alliances and conquests, facilitating the rise of empires that could exert control over vast territories and diverse populations. This shift allowed for more efficient administration and resource management across larger areas.
