حملات الملك الحيثي "شوبيلوليوما الأول" الحربية على الدولة الميتانية و النتائج المترتبة عليها

Abstract EN

of the Hittite's king "Shuppiluliuma1" was considered one of the most important periods of the Hittite's kingdom (Circa 1382-1341 B.

C ).

After "shuppiluliuma 1" had settled his internal affairs, he began to pay a great attention to the foreign policy which was based on restoring the glory of Hittite's State, Therefore his first cocern was the settlement of the account with the Mittani state, which he considered responsible for the deflation's state suffered by his country during the period preceded his era.

As well as he looked forward to dominating on the levant state- The Mittani's main center- that not only had strategic site, made it a link between the continents of the ancient world ( Asia- Africa- Europe ) but it was also its commercial gate, whether by land or sea.

For all the these reasons " Shuppiluliuma 1" stripped many war campaigns against it, resulting in the weakness of the Mittani state which collapsed from a great empire into a small country, also the influence of these campaigns led to overthrow the situations upside down in the Levant Region in favor of The Hittites, above all that led to the complete independence of the Ashuran away from the Mittani state, Moreover all these events changed the system of the political alliances among many Ancient Near East Kingdoms, and its relations with each other.
