Kuwait, the eastern parts of Syria,
Southeastern Turkey, and regions along the Turkish–Syrian
and Iran–Iraq
borders

beginning of written history (c 3100 BC) to the fall of
Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire It fell to Alexander the Great in 332 BC, and after
his death, it became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire
Around 150 BC, Mesopotamia was under the control of the Parthian Empire Mesopotamia became a
battleground between the Romans and Parthians, with western parts of
Mesopotamia coming under ephemeral Roman control In AD 226, the
eastern regions of Mesopotamia fell to the Sassanid Persians The
division of Mesopotamia between Roman (Byzantine from AD 395) and
Sassanid Empires lasted until the 7th century Muslim conquest of Persia of
