At the height of Mitanni power, Assyria was a vassal state, but in the period in question here, decline set in and the territory was absorbed into Assyria.";break;

The Hittite empire emerged from the earlier Hittite kingdom near the end of the Judges era. Its end, shortly after this chart, was quite sudden, and several different causes have been suggested.";break;

The Kassites gradually rebuilt power after the collapse of the Old period. However. later days saw increasing nomadic invasions and final disintegration. As the Kassites lost power again, other leaders arose from different Mesopotamian cities.";break;

With this dynasty, Egypt was once again reunited under one central rule and able to take a more vigorous part in external affairs.
