An important region surrounding the Tigris–Euphrates river system, in the northern part of the Fertile Crescent, roughly corresponding to most of modern Iraq and Kuwait, eastern Syria, and Southeastern Turkey. Mesopotamia was a critical part of many empires and kingdoms, including the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, the Achaemenids, Alexander the Great, and the Seleucids. It was also a site of intense conflict between the Roman, Parthian, and Sassanid Empires until the 7th century Muslim conquest.
