There was a very large amount of slavery in Mesopotamia. This was because, in the deserts of Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq), for people to survive and allow their farms to thrive the various nations had to use massive amounts of labour in the creation of irrigation systems. Thus, it was extremely beneficial for nations to force others to work for them.
