The Hittites once conquered Babylon, but quickly left Mesopotamia and never returned. At its height, the Hittite Empire (including vassal states) stretched from the Aegean Sea on the west to the Euphrates River on the east, south to the Mediterranean Sea, and as far south in the Levant as the headwaters of the Jordan River (near ancient Kadesh). They fought wars against the Greeks, Luwians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Hurrians, and many other, smaller states. It is fair to say that they conquered all Luwian-speaking lands, all of Hurria, and all of Arzawa (which probably spoke only Luwian). They also subjected the very rich Ugarit to vassal status.
