readx;? According to Hittite texts, Piash Hili and Shativaza crossed the Euphrates at Carkemish and then reached Iritu in Mitanni. Pen Fun www.biquge.info they sent emissaries across the river from the west bank of the Euphrates, and seemed to have anticipated the Mitanni's welcome to them, but the Mitanni pledged allegiance to their new ruler, Shutalna III, believing that Supiluluma I's army had come for the riches of Tushrata. In fact, the Hittites did think so.

They asked the messenger with a hungry smile: "Why do you come? If you want to come to war, come, you don't have to go back to your king's land!" Shutarna III had sent to reinforce the army and chariots in the Iritu region, but the Hittite army was still victorious, and the people of Iretu had to pray for peace after the defeat of the Iritus.

At the same time, according to the treaty of alliance with Mitanni, Assyria's army arrived in the Mitannian capital of Washukani at the invitation of Shutarna III, guided by a two-wheeled station car sent by Mitanni, to support Shutarna III against the Hittites.

But at this critical juncture, the political situation within the city of Vashukani changed.

It may be that the strength of the Assyrian army did not meet the expectations of Shutarna III, or he changed his mind, or perhaps the Assyrian army was not trusted. It is more likely that the lurking pro-Hittite faction at this time staged a coup d'état to eliminate the pro-Assyrians and remove Shutarna III from the kingship just as the Hittite army was about to arrive.

Regardless, the Assyrian army was denied entry into the city, a move that angered the Assyrians, who surrounded Vashukani.

This led to a drastic deterioration in the political situation of Shutarna III, and the last bit of power to turn the tables collapsed, and the majority of the Vashukani population saw the Hittites as more trustworthy than their former vassals, Assyria.

In any case, the messengers sent by Piash Heli and Shatiwaza publicly conveyed Shatiwaza's message at the gates of the city demanding that the Mitanni people submit to his leadership. It seems that Shutalna III has been unable to control the situation.

Subsequently, Piash Hili and Shati Waza arrived in Vashukani under the escort of a small number of troops, and both the city-states of Mitanni Haran and Pakaripa and Vashukani had already surrendered to them. The Assyrian army did not seem to dare to stop them.

And in Pakarepa, in the desolate countryside, the Hittite army was starving, and they received the news that the Assyrian pre-peak was coming, but the enemy would not come at all.

The Assyrian army had retreated to Nirap Ini, not wanting to confront the Hittites, who were now strong. The Assyrian army seemed reluctant to make enemies of the mighty Hittite army. This may have been because Assyria had lost its excuse to intervene in Mitanni, and that Shutarna III had been deposed, and it was not wise for Assyria to stand alone against the combined forces of the two great powers, the Hittites and Mitanni.

After Shativaza became king of Mitanni, Supiluluma I, under a treaty with him, forcibly demanded all the lands east of the peninsula of Asia Minor, northern Mesopotamia, Carkemish and the west bank of the Euphrates, which were to be ruled by Piaşhili. Mitanni is confined to the Habur River and the Balik Valley.

Mitanni became increasingly dependent on an alliance with the Hittites in Hatarsus. Some scholars even consider Shatiwaza's government to be a Hittites puppet government. The Hittites did not annex Mitanni, but only to form a buffer zone in the middle of the powerful Assyria.

Babylon was conquered by Assyria. Babylon became a vassal of Assyria.

By this time, Assyria's power had become so powerful that the Hittites, who had been allied with Assyria, were already afraid, and the Hittite king Supiruliuma I began to form a closer alliance with the Mitanni king Shativaza.

Then, after pacifying Babylon, Ashur Ubarit I began an attack on Mitanni.

In order to help Mitanni, the Hittites took the initiative to attack the Assyrian lands in order to make the Assyrians retreat.

However, despite the pressure of the Hittites, Ashur Ubalit I attacked Mitanni with all his might, and finally defeated the Mitanni king Shativaza. Mitanni became a vassal of Assyria.

Then the Hittites were also defeated.

Both Mitanni and the Hittites occupied portions of their lands by Assyria, and Assyria once again became the most powerful state in Mesopotamia.

In the year of the death of the Assyrian king Ashur Ubalit I, Enlil Nillari succeeded to the Assyrian throne.

Taking advantage of the weakness of the new Assyrian king's initial accession to the throne, Mitanni broke away from Assyria's control and once again allied with the Hittites against Assyria.

Arnuvanda II, reigned: years.

Alnuvanda II, the eldest son of Supiluluma I, succeeded to the Hittite throne and was the sixth king of the new Hittite kingdom.

After only one year on the throne, he died in a palace coup.

Mulheli II, reign: year.

In that year, the youngest son of Supiluluma I, Murhili II, staged a palace coup and became the seventh king of the new Hittite kingdom.

The brave and warlike young king regained some of the territory that had been invaded by Assyria after marrying as his concubine, the highest priestess of the state, representing the goddess of war, Ishtar.

Murhili II captured the city of Karkemish and completed the conquest of all of Syria (except Mitanni).

Murhili II then turned his gaze to the west, and he launched an attack on the city of Arzava and the Aegean coastal city of Miravanda in the state of Ahiawa. Many modern scholars have researched that the state of Ahiava may refer to the state of Akaea in ancient Greek history, and Mirawanda may refer to the famous city of Milidu in ancient Greek history. Of course, there are still a small number of people who question this.

This was the second time in Hittite history that the peninsula of Asia Minor was unified and extended its influence into the European part of present-day Turkey.

At the height of the Hittite kingdom, during the reign of Murhili II, the Hittite kingdom stretched from Al Waza in the west to Mitanni in the east, and many of the northern Kaskian territories, including Hayasa al-Azi in the far northeast, and the southern border of Lebanon near Canaan, were brought under Hittite rule.
