It is important that the Assyrians fell because it allowed other armies to take over and become bigger and better. They fell because of two things. One of the things was that the backbone of the army (Assyrian peasants) became scarce and stopped volunteering for the army. Also, they needed nine quarts of water and over 3,000 calories per man per day and they ran out of food. After that they were vulnerable and were killed by the Scythians. The end of The Assyrian Empire was important because it allowed other militaries to develop new weapons and take over.
