Before the sun never set on the British Empire; before Genghis Khan swept the steppe; before Rome extended its influence to encircle the Mediterranean Sea; there was ancient Assyria.

Concise History of Ancient Assyria and the Assyrian Empire (Historical Highlights and Great Kings)
I know that it can be difficult to keep up with many of the political and historical events that make up over 1400 years of documented ancient Assyrian history. To help you out, I’ve created this summary to give you a general idea of the role that the kingdoms and empires of Assyria played in the history of the ancient world, especially the Near East.
It's an incredible story of how the people of a relatively insignificant city-state became one of the greatest superpowers of their time. My hope is that after watching this video, you'll not only have a general understanding of Assyrian (mostly political) history, but also be somewhat familiar with a few of Assyria's great kings such as Tiglath-Pileser, Sargon II, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, Ashurbanipal and others.

Assyrian Genocide: A Fate Worse Than Death
It seems impossible that we would forget genocides of entire people, but events like the Assyrian genocide show us how fickle human memory can be. Also called the Sayfo, meaning ‘the sword’, the Assyrian genocide was one of three mass campaigns of extermination waged by the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. Alongside the more famous Armenian genocide and that of the Greeks, hundreds of thousands of Assyrians lost their lives in racially and religiously motivated atrocities at the command of the Ottoman government between 1914 and 1918.
The struggle of the Assyrians is easily overlooked, but it contains tales of incredible brutality and of admirable resistance. Today on A Day In History, we look at how the atrocities of the Sayfo unfolded, the deplorable ways that the Ottomans dec...

I know that it can be difficult to keep up with many of the political and historical events that make up over 1400 years of documented ancient Assyrian history. To help you out, I’ve created this summary to give you a general idea of the role that the kingdoms and empires of Assyria played in the history of the ancient world, especially the Near East.
It's an incredible story of how the people of a relatively insignificant city-state became one of the greatest superpowers of their time. My hope is that after watching this video, you'll not only have a general understanding of Assyrian (mostly political) history, but also be somewhat familiar with a few of Assyria's great kings such as Tiglath-Pileser, Sargon II, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, Ashurbanipal and others.

https://wn.com/Concise_History_Of_Ancient_Assyria_And_The_Assyrian_Empire_(Historical_Highlights_And_Great_Kings)
I know that it can be difficult to keep up with many of the political and historical events that make up over 1400 years of documented ancient Assyrian history. To help you out, I’ve created this summary to give you a general idea of the role that the kingdoms and empires of Assyria played in the history of the ancient world, especially the Near East.
It's an incredible story of how the people of a relatively insignificant city-state became one of the greatest superpowers of their time. My hope is that after watching this video, you'll not only have a general understanding of Assyrian (mostly political) history, but also be somewhat familiar with a few of Assyria's great kings such as Tiglath-Pileser, Sargon II, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, Ashurbanipal and others.

It seems impossible that we would forget genocides of entire people, but events like the Assyrian genocide show us how fickle human memory can be. Also called the Sayfo, meaning ‘the sword’, the Assyrian genocide was one of three mass campaigns of extermination waged by the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. Alongside the more famous Armenian genocide and that of the Greeks, hundreds of thousands of Assyrians lost their lives in racially and religiously motivated atrocities at the command of the Ottoman government between 1914 and 1918.
The struggle of the Assyrians is easily overlooked, but it contains tales of incredible brutality and of admirable resistance. Today on A Day In History, we look at how the atrocities of the Sayfo unfolded, the deplorable ways that the Ottomans deceived their victims, and the stories of the men who took up arms to defend themselves from those who would exterminate them.

Prelude
The Assyrians are an ethnic group united by their shared languages which derive from ancient Aramaeic. Christianity They are also thorouglhy Christian although split between several denominations, of which the largest are the Orthodox Assyrian Church of the East and Syrian Orthodox Church, and the Chaldean Catholic Church.
Unlike the Armenians, the Assyrians have never been politically unified - there is no real link between the ancient Assyrian empire and the modern Assyrian people - and they were treated as a loose ethnic group with no fixed territory. Like other Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire, they faced sporadic violence and persecution for decades before the genocide. In 1895, Assyrians were among the victims of the waves of violence that killed thousands of Christians across the Empire and they faced regular discrimination in law and public life. Violence from Turkish authorities and Kurdish raiders continued throughout the early 20th century with land seizures, forced conversion, and mob violence becoming regular features of life.
Things changed with the rise of Turkish ethnonationalism and the First World War. The Empire’s new ruler Talaat Pasha envisioned an ethnically Turkish empire where minorities were excluded, or eliminated. The Ottomans also saw the Assyrians as a security risk, fearing that they would side with Russia once the fighting began.

Located in modern-day Iraq, ancient Mesopotamia, the land between the great Tigris and Euphrates rivers, is where it all began. It’s the part of the world where some 6,000 years ago people finally said goodbye to their lives as hunters and gatherers, started farming, and began building civilizations. It’s from these civilizations that we get some of the most famous contributions to world history and culture, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to Hammurabi’s famous code of law, which gave rise to the popular saying “an eye for an eye.”
