> period of the Kusara dynasty of the Hittite kingdom:

Pit Hana, Reign: Year.

The ruler of the city of Kusar, Pithana, expanded outward, but lacked funds, and first conquered the Assyrian economic colony of Kanish, the southern city of Kanish, largely unifying the Nesit cities throughout the south, and gaining great wealth to support his and his son's unification war.

Later, Assyria's colonies in Asia Minor became a meal for both the North and the South, and Assyria's colonies in Asia Minor were completely lost. Assyria, on the other hand, was too busy dealing with the conquests of the Babylonian king Hammurabi to intervene in Asia Minor.

Anita, reigned in years.

Pithana's son Anita succeeded to the throne of Kusara and was the second king of the Kusara dynasty.

Carrying on her father's wishes, Anita launched two wars against the North.

After basically unifying the Anatolian plateau of Asia Minor, Anita moved its capital to the southern city of Kanish, and established the initial kingdom of the Hittites, a fusion of the Nesit and the Hatti.

Zuzu, reigned: years.

Zuzu inherited the Hittite throne and was the third king of the Kusara dynasty and the second king after the unification of the Hittite kingdom.

At this time, during the reign of the Assyrian king Atahi, Babylon's influence was rapidly declining, and it was controlled by the Gassites, one of the Aryans from the Zagros Mountains. Assyria eliminated the influence of the Babylonians and the Amorites on Assyria, and the power of the nation was greatly restored.

In retaliation, the Assyrians launched an attack on Kanish, destroying the city of Kanish, which had long used the trading system of Assyrian merchants, and the Hittite king Zuzu was killed.

The Hittite kingdom of Kusara experienced a total of 3 kings and years.

In the same year, Pu Saruma sent his brother-in-law, La Barna I, a southerner, to lead a soldier composed of people who had fled from the south to regain the lost territory in the south.

At this time, the southern Hittite populace revolted, and the army of Labana I was very strong, and Assyria was forced to withdraw from the southern Hittite.

From then on, the city of Kusara became a fief of Rabarna I, and even the south became his sphere of influence for ten years.

Pur Saruma died and was supposed to be succeeded to the Hittite throne by his young son, Hatushili I.
