War+-+Michael+A

          __Sumer War__ Sumer always had wars going on. Lots of war went on there, and maybe still does. They mainly had infantry. They had wars on and off with different city-states for 2000 years long. Sumerians were unable or unwilling to resolve their conflicts over land.       The Sumerians liked to fight because they needed goods from their neighboring towns or cities. They enjoyed fighting. The Sumerians thought the wars they had were between there gods because they thought they got them angry a lot so they had wars a lot. The entire country might entire the battle if it was serious because everyone worked together there. In settled communities, the young and old went to war if they wanted to. The greed and ambition of kings or queens of that city start the wars. Around the time of 2800 BCE, the city named Kish was the first city to dominate out of all the Sumer states. Then Kish was conquered by Lagash later on. The Sumer military carried spear, copper helmets, leather or wicker shields and the resembles in Phalanx formation. The carried things using carts and they had chariots. The men carried battle-axes and lances with them. Overall the war in Sumer was very continuous throughout their time. I think they had a great military and infantry in Sumer and a great history.
