Adad-nirari III invaded and subjugated Babylonia
Time: 9th Century BC
Place: Babylon (Present-Day in Iraq)
Details: Little further expansion took place under Shamshi-Adad V and his successor, the regent queen Semiramis, however when Adad-nirari III (811–783 BC) came of age, he took the reins of power from mother and set about a relentless campaign of conquest; subjugated the Arameans, Phoenicians, Philistines, Israelites, Neo-Hittites and Edomites, Persians, Medes, and Manneans, penetrating as far as the Caspian Sea. He invaded and subjugated Babylonia, and then the migrant Chaldean and Sutean tribes settled in southeastern Mesopotamia whom he conquered and reduced to vassalage.

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.
