What are four ways the assyrian government maintaied control of their empire

Throughout most of its 19 centuries of dominance in the ancient Near East from 2500 BC to 605 BC, the method of governance in the Assyrian Empire was a strong monarchy. The king's authority was bolstered by a powerful army and, at the height of the Assyrian Empire, by a well-organized central bureaucracy whose leadership collected tribute and military draftees.

The historical extent of the Assyrian Empire is broken into three periods designated as Old Assyrian, Middle Assyrian and Neo-Assyrian. The Neo-Assyrian Empire became the most powerful empire in the world up to that time. The king often controlled entire populations of conquered peoples by exiling them far from their original homelands. Of others, he exacted tribute through the administrators set up in each province. His main strength, however, was his standing army, a disciplined and well-equipped fighting force continually strengthened by conscription.

Another factor that strengthened the king's control over his empire was religion. He was not only head of the secular political administration, but also the high priest of Ashur, the official god. As such, he provided the temples and priests with financial support and sustenance, and the priests emerged as powerful figures in society. The king's position as all-powerful monarch did not prevent internal discord. The history of the Assyrian Empire is fraught with assassinations of the rulers, often by close relatives. However, the ubiquitous strong army and harsh laws with severe punishments for infractions kept the empire in order.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
