Events

The close East

  • Countryside of Suppiluliuma Ier against the Mitanni: countering waiting of united which awaits it in Syria, it attacks initially Ishuwa then plunders Washshukanni, the capital from where Dushratta east flees, then its offensive in Syria continues to help Ougarit, begins again Alep and the cities united (except Damas). Mitanni preserves only Karkemish on Euphrate.

    • They constantly sought to dominate the copper mines of Ergani Maden, in the province of Ishuwa (higher course of Euphrate), than they bitterly disputed with the Mitanni.
    • They sought with difficulty of maintaining an influence on the Western areas of the Asia Mineure, towards the North-West or is the straits and the passage towards Europe, road controlled directly or indirectly by the Arzawa, by which one thinks that tin forwarded.
