Hammurabi's rule of Babylon can be considered an empire due to his successful unification of various city-states and regions under a centralized authority, expanding Babylon's influence and control. His implementation of a comprehensive legal code, the Code of Hammurabi, helped standardize laws and governance, promoting stability and cohesion across diverse populations. Furthermore, his military conquests and diplomatic strategies solidified Babylon's dominance in Mesopotamia, establishing it as a formidable power in the ancient world.

Why were the babylonians important?
That would depend on your context. In the Old Testament Babylon was the empire which overthrew the Nation of Judah. This was a punishment for Judah turning from God's commands and worshiping idols. You can search the name Babylon on BibleGateway.com or BlueLetterBible.com to find out more. Off the top of my head the nation of Babylon is a major character in the books of Jeremiah, Lamentations, the later parts of 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, and the setting of the book of Daniel.

Did Babylon have a military?
Nebuchadnezzar was the King of Babylon and he fought many campaigns, notably he captured Jerusalem. Obviously he could not have done that without a significant military presence. His Father Nabopolassar led the coalition force which ended the Assyrian Empire and domination of the region. So the answer must be yes because the Assyrians were the most feared and hated nation of those times and were noted for their military prowess and cruelty.
Who defeated chaldeans and conquered Babylon?
Babylon Gains Independence from Assyrian Empire (627 BC): As barbaric tribes from the north and east invaded Assyria, Babylon capitalized upon Assyria's weakened state, by gaining independence. The ruling Chaldeans (a Semitic people) also proceeded to conquer the rest of Southern Mesopotamia. Assyria Capital of Nineveh Captured by Babylonians (612 BC): The Babylonians marched north, conquering Assyrian territory along the way as they advanced toward the heart of the empire. In 612 BC, with the help of the Iranian Medes, Babylon conquered Nineveh. Battle of Meggido Ends the Assyrian Empire (605 BC): The last remnant of the Assyrian army escaped from the defeat at Nineveh. They were joined at Megiddo by the Egyptians. The Assyrian-Egyptian alliance is thoroughly defeated by the Babylonians, bringing an absolute end to the Assyrian Empire, while extending the emerging Babylonian Empire to the Mediterranean Sea. Note: Chaldeans. The Chaldeans were a Semitic people that had gained control of Babylon. Thus, the Neo-Babylonian Empire is also known as the Chaldean Empire. Babylon's Northern Border Secured before 600 BC: After assuming the throne in 605 BC, upon the death of his father. Nebuchadnezzar II defeats the nomadic tribes to the north, securing the northern borders, and the entire empire by extension. In which case, Babylonia achieves what Assyria could not. Babylon Subdues Jerusalem (597 BC): Nebuchadnezzar's campaigns against Egypt elicited discontent among Babylonia's subjects in the Levant. After a Jerusalem uprising, Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem in 597 BC, then destroying the city in 587 after another rebellion. According to the Bible, 5,000-10,000 inhabitants of Jerusalem (primarily the upper class) were exiled eastward into Mesopotamia. Empirical evidence does not confirm the specific exile of a "Jewish" upper class, but it does support the notion that Nebuchadnezzar did have a tendency to exile problematic groups of people from their homeland into other, far-removed parts of the empire. Babylon's Siege and Subjugation of Tyre (585-572 BC): After destroying Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar turned his attention toward revolts in Tyre (Phoencia). Following a 13-year siege, Tyre agreed to accept Babylonian rule. Note: Nebuchadnezzar's Famous Construction Projects. Nebuchadnezzar II is perhaps most famous for his massive contruction projects in eradicating Babylon's somewhat dilapidated state (due to frequent rebellions against Assyria before finally gaining independence). Magnificent religious monuments were built, and an outrageously extravagant royal palace was constructed, transforming Babylon into an ancient "7th wonder of the world". Persians defeat Babylonians at Battle of Opis in (June, 539 BC). Babylon Captured by Persians (Oct, 539 BC): Persians enter the city without a fight, bringing an abrupt end to the Babylonian Empire. Note: The Persian Empire Gains Popularity of Babylonians. The Chaldean Empire was never very popular among its constituents, which weakened and ripened the empire for defeat. To engender the support of is new subjects, Cyrus (Persian Emperor) allowed exiles to return to their homeland. He then underwent the sacred ceremony of the Babylonian religious consecration ritual performed by Babylonian priests, traditionally endowed upon the King of Babylon. -wordology-
Is Babylon a current city ie Rome or is Babylon a person in the Book of Revelation?
Some say that the references to Babylon were really references to Rome. Since the authorities would have considered it treason to refer in this way to Rome, it was safer to use the name of Babylon, while Christians would have privately known what was meant. Another view is that when the Book says Babylon, it means Babylon. This view sees the Book of Revelations as consisting of two layers: a more ancient, spiritual layer that was merged into a Christian book with messages to the early churches. On this view, the more ancient layer could have been from Judaic mysticism, or from a form of proto-Christianity.
