In this episode of Empires: Dominance and Legacy, we explore the Akkadian Empire, the first known empire in history, founded by Sargon the Great. Rising from humble beginnings, Sargon unified the fragmented city-states of Mesopotamia, creating a vast and diverse empire. His military strategies, administrative innovations, and promotion of the Akkadian language set the foundation for future empires. Despite its eventual decline due to internal strife, economic difficulties, and external invasions, the Akkadian Empire's legacy endured, influencing subsequent civilizations in the region and establishing key concepts in empire-building.
