Ellie Nov 29, What motivated Hammurabi to make his code of laws? And how did laws so far away from America somehow make it into some of our laws today? I really liked this one and I can't wait to hear more about this! Gabriel Nov 29, Dear Wonderopolis, I really enjoyed reading all about about laws and how they work.

Hi, Skylar! Your project sounds interesting!! Brian Nov 29, I liked this article I hope you have any other interesting articles just like this one. Jaedon Nov 29, Dear Wonderopolis, The article for Hammurabi is very interesting. I have never heard of Hammurabi until earlier this year.
I also think that Hammurabi's code had very violent punishments. I know that Hammurabi's code is the first set of laws and all, but if you had to re-write some of his laws, what are they and what would it be? Sincerely, Jaedon. This article was full of information. I love how it said how many laws there was in the code. This article will be extremely useful for class. I loved the quizzes and vocabulary test you can take.
Can Wonderlands make the vocab test about all of the words in the article? Thanks so much, Gabriel! Melvin Bhella Nov 29, Dear Wonderopolis, I learned a lot about Hammurabi and his set of laws.

Love Carrion Nov 29, Dear Wonderopolis, I really loved how much detail your team put into this passage.
I also like the transition words and etc. Not to mention, I like how you put the definition under the words that some students my not be able to identify. This would really be helpful if I had to do a paragraph or a passage about whom Hammurabi was.

The idea was to control the flow of the river from as far upstream as possible to control the communities downstream. In the first few decades of his rule, Hammurabi focused his attention on the internal development of the kingdom, including the construction of temples, public buildings and infrastructure projects.
Written documents from Hammurabi to officials and provincial governors showed him to be an able administrator who personally supervised nearly all aspects of governing. To better administer his kingdom, he issued a set of codes or laws to standardize rules and regulations and administer a universal sense of justice. During this time, a complex geopolitical situation emerged between several other nearby city-states, all vying for control of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Oftentimes, alliances of convenience would emerge between states to fend off or raid other rival states. In BCE, one of these city-states, Elam, secretly conspired to start a war between Babylon and Larsa, an empire on the Euphrates delta.
When the plot was discovered, Hammurabi and the leader of Larsa, Rim-Sin, formed an alliance and crushed Elam. Then Hammurabi acted quickly. He broke off the alliance with Rim-Sin and swiftly moved south taking the Larsa cities of Uruk and Isin. He then shifted eastward and took Nippur and Laguash, surrounding Larsa, which fell soon after. To complete his conquest of Mesopotamia, Hammurabi turned north and east. He first set his sights on Mari, an important and prosperous trade center on the upper Euphrates River.
It is not certain why Hammurabi chose to break this alliance. What is certain is the Babylonian Empire gained great wealth and of course, control of the Euphrates River. In most cases, after the conquest of a city, Babylon repaired and absorbed it into the empire.
Soon after the fall of Mari, Hammurabi conquered Ashur and Eshnunna, achieving the latter by damming up the waters and starving the city.
