Best Answer

The Hittite were a group of people in Anatolia who founded an empire around 1600 BCE. The empire reached its height in the 14th century BCE where it encompassed the majority of Asia Minor, the Levant, and parts of Mesopotamia. The rise of the Hittite Empire eventually brought them into conflict with other powers in the region, namely the Egyptian and Assyrian empires. Conflict with the Egyptians weakened the Hittites, who had to fight against encroachment by the Assyrians in Mesopotamia. Eventually, through the expansion of the Assyrians and the "Sea Peoples" taking over the coast of the Levant, the Hittite Empire collapsed.
