The warring Hurrian tribes and city states …
Years: 1629BCE - 1486BCE
The warring Hurrian tribes and city states are believed to have become united under one dynasty after the collapse of Babylon following its sack by the Hittite king Mursili I and the Kassite invasion.
The Hittite conquest of Aleppo (Yamhad), the weak middle Assyrian kings, and the internal strife of the Hittites had created a power vacuum in upper Mesopotamia, leading to the formation of the kingdom of Mitanni.
