The reasons ar unclear, but besides them the Hittite, Middle-Babylonian, Middle-Assyrian, Egyptian, Canaanite, etc, all collapsed as well in the same time period. It seems to be a mix of climate change, mass migrations of "Sea peoples" (perhaps because of mentioned climate change?), strange celestial occurrences that were seen as ill omens (a tablet from Ugarit describes a solar eclipse and some bad omens from the livers of sacrificed sheep), etc. For some reason civilizations in this entire region collapsed, and since the effects are so widespread it must have been something working on a global scale.

The Minoans were roughly contemporary with the Helladic culture.
