Years: 1305BCE - 1294BCE

The Hittite empire, at its peak during the reign of Mursili II, stretches from Arzawa in the west to Mitanni in the east, many of the Kaskian territories to the north including Hayasa-Azzi in the far northeast, and on south into Canaan approximately as far as the southern border of Lebanon, incorporating all of these territories within its domain.

By the time of his death, followed by the succession of Muwattali in 1295, the Hittite Empire, now firmly established, is effectively governed through a widespread system of treaty relationships with allies and vassal states.
