Assyria and the Hittite Invasion of Cassite Babylonia

Tensions between the assyrians and hittites were over former mitani lands. At the battle of nihrea in 12 forty seven b c e, the assyrian king would send the hittites packing. This would attract attention from the elamites who sought an opportunity to invade cassite babylonia. The late bronze age collapse saw all empires disappear off the world map or be considerably reduced in size.
