Mesopotamia acquired the people they enslaved primarily **from war with other areas**. Warfare was a significant source of slavery, with captives taken during battles often becoming slaves. Additionally, people who could not pay their debts also became enslaved, but war was a more prominent factor in the acquisition of slaves in ancient Mesopotamian societies.
