Years: 1317BCE - 1306BCE

Tushratta had been assassinated by a group led by one of his sons after a third devastating Hittite raid led to the fall of Carchemish, according to a treaty later made between Suppiluliuma and Tushratta's brother Shattiwaza.

A time of civil war had followed, which comes to an end when Suppiluliuma places his son-in-law Shattiwaza on the Mitannian throne.
