Phoenicia under Assyrian rule : ウィキペディア英語版 | Phoenicia under Assyrian rule
During the rise of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, what is today known as Lebanon, came under nominal Assyrian rule on several occasions. The approach of the devastating Assyrian armies would more often than not result in the vassalage of these states. Similarly, any long absence would result in rebellion, often sponsored by another of Assyria's numerous opponents. The result is that numerous Kings of Assyria launched campaigns to bring these economically important regions under Assyrian rule, many of them meeting short-term success. The rebellion after one King's offensive would result in his successor's next vengeful assault. When Tyre ceased to pay tribute to the Assyrian kings, rebellion broke out. ==Background== Prior to the rise of the Neo-Assyrian Empire in the late 10th century BC, much of the land known today as Syria and Lebanon was ruled by various independent cities. Trade established between these cities and those of the Mediterranean gave some of these cities great wealth. Following two centuries of weakness in which Assyria was governed by Kings incapable of improving her weak military situation, King Adad-nirari II (911 - 891 BC) ascended to the throne and immediately began consolidating the domains of Assyria and punishing rebellious vassals. After the death of Adad-nirari II, Tukulti-Ninurta II (890 - 884 BC) began expanding against Assyria's enemies to the north.〔 The expansion into the north meant that the next Assyrian King, Ashurnasirpal II (883 - 859 BC) was in a position to greatly expand Assyria's political and military influence out of Mesopotamia. After crushing the revolt of the city of Suru, defeating the Aramaean King Bit Adini and mercilessly mutilating other rebels along the Upper Tigris river, Ashurnasirpal II turned his attention to the West, to the land of the Phoenicians.
