ANATOLIA DURING THE TIME OF SUPPILULIUMA I. KING OF THE HITTITE EMPIRE

Summary/Abstract: There were towns which functioned as independent states during the period between the late 3rd Millennium BC and the first quarter of the 2nd Millennium BC in Asia Minor. The Hittite Kingdom achieved to gather those towns under a political union afterwards. The social and the military activities, which the Kingdom exercised over the local kingdoms, had an important role in becoming the imperial state of the Hittites. Thus a successful interior politics would facilitate the Hittite Kingdom to seize the kingdoms the outside of the Anatolian peninsula. This present study tries to show the Hittite politics under the reign of of Šuppiluliuma I (1355- 1320 BC) in Anatolia over the local states in that territory and also to the mighty kingdoms of that period, and the strategic politics of Šuppiluliuma I who achieved to set up a kingdom centered in Anatolia at the empire level.
