That is not the way historians see it. After conquering all the Sumerian city-states, Sargon I united them with Akkad, and created the world's first empire. Sargon II did the rest. Babylonia was the capital city and it emerged as a major power when Hammurabi created an empire out of the territories of the former Akkadian Empire.
As far as we know, the world's first empire was formed about 2250 B.C., by Sargon the Great, in Mesopotamia. His empire included the Sumerian cities of the Tigris-Euphrates Delta. After taking control of these, Sargon went into Syria to the Taurus Mountains near Cyprus. Sargon is, less plausibly, said to have gone into Egypt, India, and Ethiopia. The capital of Sargon's empire was at Agade (Akkad), a city whose precise location is not known for certain, but which gave its name to the empire, Akkadian.
He was the first king of Akkad which later turned into the Babylon Empire under king Hammurabi. He didn't write a code, as a matter of fact, King Hammurabi wrote the first know code of law.
Hammurabi ruled, Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, what is today known as Iraq. He is credited with uniting most of this area under one extensive empire for the first time since Sargon of Akkad did so in about 2300 BC.
