End of the Assyrian Empire

Time: 609

Place: Harran (Present-Day in Turkey)

Details: Despite the loss of almost all of its major cities, and in the face of overwhelming odds, Assyrian resistance continued under Ashur-uballit II (612–609 BC), who fought his way out of Nineveh and coalesced Assyrian forces around Harran which finally fell in 609 BC. The same year, Ashur-uballit II besieged Harran with the help of the Egyptian army, but this failed too, and this last defeat ended the Assyrian Empire.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
