-This is a '''list of decades'''  
-During the [[20th century|twentieth century]], it became popular <!--rephrase:-->to look at that century's decades as historical entities in themselves<!--?-->. Particular trends, styles, and attitudes would be associated with and define different decades of the century, <!--rephrase:-->and thus the names of the decades themselves have come to be synonymous with them. Some commentators suggest that this phenomenon will not continue during the [[21st century|twenty-first century]].+The '''7th century BC''' started the first day of [[700 BC]] and ended the last day of [[601 BC]].

-{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; font-size:90%;"+The [[Assyrian Empire]] continued to dominate the near east during this century, exercising formidable power over neighbors like [[Babylon]] and [[Egypt]]. In the last two decades of the century, however, the empire began to unravel as numerous enemies made alliances and waged war from all sides. The Assyrians finally left the world stage permanently when their capital [[Nineveh]] was destroyed in [[612]] BC. These events gave rise to the [[Neo-Babylonian Empire]], which would dominate the region for much of the following century.

The 7th century BC started the first day of 700 BC and ended the last day of 601 BC.

The Assyrian Empire continued to dominate the near east during this century, exercising formidable power over neighbors like Babylon and Egypt. In the last two decades of the century, however, the empire began to unravel as numerous enemies made alliances and waged war from all sides. The Assyrians finally left the world stage permanently when their capital Nineveh was destroyed in 612 BC. These events gave rise to the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which would dominate the region for much of the following century.
