Why were the Assyrians so successful in building their empire?
My facts could be mistaken but believe it or not, a crucial technology; I believe it was in fact the Assyrians, who were the first people to use steel. Steel is stronger and lighter than iron.

The use of steel more than anything gave them a crucial edge; most of the armies they massacred had their iron weapons destroyed by the Assyrians. HELL NO THEY WERENT THE DEVIL WAS DUH.

Did the Israelites have religious freedom under the Assyrians?
It is known that the Assyrians did not concern themselves with the religious beliefs and practices of subject peoples. When the Assyrians conquered Israel, they boasted of taking away the idols and treasures from the temples, but this was because of their value, not because of any attempt to influence religious beliefs. In spite of common opinion today, the people of the northern kingdom of Israel actually were at all times polytheistic. Apart from their national God, YHWH, the Israelite pantheon included many of the same gods as their neighbours, so when the Israelites were dispersed throughout the Assyrian empire they would have assimilated easily into the local cultures.

Did the Assyrian or Persian empire last the longest?
The problem here is that, in both cases, a great variety of periods are given the labels of Persian Empire and Assyrian Empire, when in fact there were periods of small area coverage or different rulers and influence by the basic ethnic peoples and the ruling classes, which were sometimes foreign. And this line of thought often entwines both peoples as if they were the same at some periods. 'Persian Empire' has been applied spasmodically to periods between 627 BCE to 1979 CE, while similarly Assyrian Empire' has been used to label periods from 25th Century BCE to 627 CE.
The main periods were Persia 549 to 330 BCE; Assyria 991 to 627 BCE. But there will be many people who will claim all sorts of periods outside that so where do you go?

How did Assyrians approach conquered people?
The Assyrians had a deplorable policy towards the conquered. In addition to torturing and enslaving both enemy soldiers and civilians, the Assyrians had a consistent policy of rearranging populations of conquered people.

The Assyrians took advantage of this by forcibly rearranging populations. This had the effect of limiting resistance to Assyrian occupation and the weakening of Non-Assyrian culture.
