In 612 B.C., the empire fell to a coalition of chaldeans and medes and was divided between those two powers.
Due to the lack of records for the period of time around which the Assyrian empire fell, nobody is entirely sure why it happened. Initial examinations saw the Babylonians and Medes had defeated them, but later found works showed a civil war may have broken out before hand, contributing more to the fall than the Babylonians.
