The Hittites were an important power in the 14th and 13th centuries B.C. and their expansion towards the Red Sea brought them into conflict with Egypt, leading to numerous skirmishes and battles of which the Battle Of Kadesh was the most important.

The Battle Of Kadesh was a result from growing tension between the superpowers of the ancient near east, Egypt, Hatti and Assyria, these nations were competing over the smaller states.
