This map shows the political situation in Syro-[Mesopotamia](https://www.worldhistory.org/Mesopotamia/) c. 1764 BCE. During this time, the [Amorite](https://www.worldhistory.org/amorite/) Kings, [Hammurabi](https://www.worldhistory.org/hammurabi/) of [Babylon](https://www.worldhistory.org/babylon/) and Zimri-Lim of [Mari](https://www.worldhistory.org/mari/) were engaged in near-constant [warfare](https://www.worldhistory.org/warfare/) with surrounding polities, many of whom were also predominantly Amorite. The two kings crushed powers like Eshnunna and fought back the Elamites. In 1761 BCE, Babylon is known to have taken control of Mari and its territories, and the reasons behind this are unclear to this day.
