الصراع الوحدوي في بلاد الرافدين '' الممالك الأمورية أنموذجا

Abstract

The Fall of Ur at the close of the third millennium B.C. is one of the major turning-points in the history of ancient Iraq , it does not only ring the knell of a dynasty and of an empire, it marks the end of the sumerian nation and type of society. Intervening at the last moment, the Elamites had taken the capital-city, but the secession of entire provinces, the revolt of Ibbi-Sin’s officials and the Amorites invasion were the real causes of the Sumerian defeat. The Elamites were soon expelled from Iraq , the Semites remained. From then on they were to hold the reins of governement for nearly fifteen hendred years.
