You guys are all too modern. Let's go back 3000 years or more.
Zalpa's attack upon Kanesh (3800 years ago) - They had to relocate capital he rekt so hard.
Formation of the Akkadian Empire (circa 3500 years ago) - After coming to power in Kish, Sargon killed the king of Kish. After having the army of Kish follow him, Sargon soon attacked Uruk, which was ruled by Lugal-Zage-Si of Umma. He captured Uruk and dismantled its walls. The defenders seem to have fled the city, joining an army led by fifty ensis from the provinces. This Sumerian force fought two pitched battles against the Akkadians, as a result of which the remaining forces of Lugal-Zage-Si were routed.[20] Lugal-Zage-Si himself was captured and brought to Nippur; Sargon inscribed on the pedestal of a statue (preserved in a later tablet) that
he brought Lugal-Zage-Si "in a dog collar to the gate of Enlil."[21] REKT DUDE FUCKEN ANAL RUPTURED
