Answer:

military strategies and cultural assimilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sargon started his career in the Sumerian city-state of Kish as an official who eventually murdered the King of the city-state and seized control of it. Sargon raised an army and with sophisticated military techniques stormed through Mesopotamia to build an empire, became the first emperor of the region. he built the capital city of Akkad and despite their difference, Akkadian adopted Sumerian culture. This cultural assimilation of the conquered people has helped them to adjust better in the large empire.
