This assignment will discuss the whether or not Hammurabi of Babylon relied on diplomacy to create his empire rather than his army. This assignment looks at the methods that were employed by Hammurabi to secure his empire, including diplomacy, and his army. It will be concluded that without first invading the land Hammurabi would not have come into power and would not have obtained the geographical coverage that he did, however his diplomacy and democratic ideals ensured that civil unrest was kept at bay and that he remained in power for as long as he did.
