Babylon was an ancient city which is in modern day Iraq (I believe).

In the bible, God overthrew the city due to its sinfulness- never to be rebuilt again (and it has never been inhabited since) and the bible uses the term "Babylon" to describe the world governments and religions in general due to their sinful actions which God is said to soon overthrow once again never to be rebuilt.

I agree with bigpapa's answer. Here's the way I was taught the story:

The Tower of Babel was supposed to be the crowning achievment of the city of Babylon. They wanted to build it so high that it would reach Heaven. And I guess God thought they were getting a bit too big for their britches, and so He destroyed the Tower and made it so everyone spoke a different language, so they couldn't even attempt to rebuild it.
