Abstract
During the centuries (1550-1200 BC), or what is known as the era of the Late Bronze, the Near East countries have become politically integrated part of customary international system among themselves, it has crystallized in the region of five kingdoms superpower can be identified from western Iran to Ege (Aegean Sea) and from Anatolia to Nubia (Nubia), these regional countries with large areas, promised kings themselves as equal political reduced status also competitors, and stabilized between the major kingdoms - especially in Syria and Palestine - a group of small states, which condemned loyalty in most cases to one of the major powers and the most force in the arena of military operations. global system has lasted in the Near East for more than three hundred years among major countries: First: Egypt in the era of the modern state, which stretched from the Aegean world and to the valley of the Nile in North Africa and was considered at the time one of the largest regions and Ousahm extension because it annexed the territory of central Syria and Palestine in the north and to Nubia (in northern Sudan) to the south. Second: UK Alkachih in Babylon and confined its ruling on the central and southern Mesopotamia. Third: Hittite Kingdom (call themselves nominate Hatta) () located in Anatolia, and ruled the central and southern Turkey, the current as well as parts of northern Syria. Fourth: the Kingdom of Mitanni (Mittani) (), and ruled from Nozi (Araboukha) (Kirkuk current) east to the west of Aleppo, and Lake Van (Van) in Turkey in the north to the Euphrates River to the south. Fifth: the Assyrian kingdom, which gained independence from the dependency of Mitanni, which lasted from the fifth century BC, during the reign of King Ashur Nadine my brother (1430 BC) and to independence in the era of Assyria Aopalt (1366-1322 BC) became a superpower in region annexed territory north of Mesopotamia and even the Taurus Mountains, and the West has struggled to expand its influence toward the Euphrates River. We have the kingdom of Elam (Elam) in western Iran and is considered a political and military force, emerged from an early period of about the second half of the second for the A () but it did not intervene in the Great Kingdoms lineup, because its political system concerned with the prevention follows the danger of the Bedouin tribes of the plateau of Iran, and also exploit political weakness that affects the kingdoms of southern country Alravedan_ kingdoms Sumerian and Akkadian ... etc - Chen goal military campaign, including looting and no more, so I do not have diplomatic between them and the rest of the superpowers in the ancient Near East for correspondence, may be due to the scarcity of the Elamite texts !, this applies to the kingdoms dwarf deployed on the Aegean coast in western Anatolia Fmallomatna them vague due to the lack of historical sources, and what we have from the information contained in the texts of the Great powers as signals curt within the military campaigns in their areas characterized by rebellion and professionalism of maritime piracy because they are earning fortunes better than agricultural activity, and Hittite texts indicated anything about them and Adenhm the hotbeds of the insurgency and rebellion against authority in Hatusha, nor abandoned Hittite texts mention kings campaigns against months kingdom in western Anatolia is Arzawa (Arzawa) and Depopulation of some of their own districts into the home Hittite, (), we have two letters within the Amarna letters written Alarzaoah language, and this is evidence that the tiles Alarzaoa does not have clerks in Akkadian, however this can not be counted superpower because the history of the Kingdom mysterious lack of resources by (), it can also clean the Kingdom of Wallachia (Alashiya) (the island of Cyprus ) concentrated power within the borders of the rich island copper, ivory, wood, and has ports for the purpose of maritime trade and a refuge for pirates, however, we have an exchange of letters between the Egyptian pharaoh and the king of Wallachia without mentioning his name, and used the word (my brother) in the Salutation suggesting that the king DAI is like equal with the kings of the great powers, but only in the heart of the pharaoh! Did we receive an exchange of letters of the kings of Asia with Wallachia except Egypt. The small states in Syria - Palestine, including Byblos (Bybos) (Jobela) Tripoli (current), Damascus (Damascus (, Ugarit (Ugarit), and Aleppo (Aleppo), Cadiz (Qadesh), Lamoureux (Amurru) ... etc, it has suffered from the competition to control it. in the beginning it was the conflict between Egypt - Mitanni to take control of the kingdoms of the Levant, and then there was competition between Egypt - Hatta on the same area, and with the change of power centers in the region occurred a conflict between Assyria - Hatta to control the region , it was greed Assyrian limitless access to the Mediterranean coast, and so was considered the Syrian statelets from the point of the Great powers of view Kdwylat buffer (buffer States) and therefore did not evolve politically to form a unified state, and the major powers will allow those small kingdoms determined in the Levant in major country. on the contrary, we note intervention Hittite in the internal affairs of small states much more than the Egyptian intervention, it has an eye on cities Carchemish and Aleppo deputies of the king Hittite in the management of Syrian affairs on behalf of their cousin in Hatusha, was binding on them to resolve the legal issues and trade-border problems between Petty small and big countries, and even to impose economic sanctions if necessary, and this happened with the incursion Toklta-Ninurta first forces (1244-1208 BC) in the Taurus Mountains depth, north of Assyria and the Euphrates River to the west, and asked King Hittite from subsidiaries ruler of the Kingdom Lamoureux to take position of the core of the direction of Assyria (the king of Assyria's enemy, so you must also be your enemy, not a trader of Lamoureux go to Assyria, and you do not allow the dealer Assyrian Login to your country, or express through your country, in any case if the dealer Assyrian came to your country arrest him and send him to me, that's your obligation under the sacred section ...).
