History
From earliest times Iraq was known as Mesopotamiathe land
between the riversfor it embraces a large part of the alluvial
plains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
An advanced civilization existed in this area by
4000 B.C. Sometime after 2000 B.C., the land became the center
of the ancient Babylonian and Assyrian empires. Mesopotamia
was conquered by Cyrus the Great of Persia in 538 B.C. and by

Alexander in 331 B.C. After an Arab conquest in 637640,

Baghdad became the capital of the ruling caliphate. The country
was pillaged by the Mongols in 1258, and during the 16th, 17th,
and 18th centuries was the object of Turkish and Persian
competition.
