Well the Assyrians were brutal when conquering armies. The Assyrians tended to be ruthless and kill mercilessly. That is probably what brought out the end of the Assyrian civilization–so many other civilizations hated Assyria that they teamed up against Assyria so that it would be conquered.
They tended to kill the people they captured (after conquering the land), and did not rule very “nicely”, either. They believed that ruling by brutal force was more effective.
