What common factor led to the collapse of the Akkadian, Babylonian, and Chaldean empires? Weak rulers made the empires unstable. Strict new codes of law caused people to rebel. Enslaved people rebelled against their conquerors. Religious minorities revolted against the ruling elite.

Hi sorry my response took so long!! The answer is either A or B although I'm leaning towards A

Explanation:

While many strict changes were made in all three empires, I believe, based on intense research and trying to remember my answer to this question, that the ultimate cause was the weak rulers of all three empires.

The Akkadian Empire was the first ancient empire of Mesopotamia and was the united Akkadian and Sumerian peoples. Both the Akkadian's and Sumerian's became united under one leader. King Sargon was the first ruler to unite the peoples of Southern Mesopotamia into a single political unit. He established a strong, centralized state. Cities, though, used to independence competed for preeminence, which appears to have eventually brought about the Empire's decline. It was followed by the Babylonian Civilization. This is roughly in the region of modern Iraq.

Quite similarly, in 539 BC, Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered the Neo-Babylonian Empire. This was the end of the last independent state of the ancient Mesopotamian civilization. Babylonia remained a part of the Persian Empire till Alexander the Great gained control of it in 331 BC.

As a result of this,  the Chaldeans disappeared as a separate people. The nation of Chaldea in southeast Mesopotamia seems to have disappeared even before the fall of Babylon, and the succeeding Achaemenid Empire (546–332 BCE) did not retain a province or land called Chaldea, and made no mention of a Chaldean race in its annals.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)
