Suppiluliuma II

Suppiluliuma II led military campaigns against the Sea Peoples, who were raiding the eastern Mediterranean coast. He fought naval and land battles, but the Hittite defenses were overwhelmed, contributing to the collapse of the empire.

Suppiluliuma II launched a naval campaign against the island of Cyprus (Alasiya), which was a base for Sea Peoples' raids. He achieved some success, but the campaign did not prevent the eventual collapse of the Hittite state.

The Hittite capital Hattusa was sacked and destroyed, likely by the Sea Peoples or related groups. This event marked the end of the Hittite Empire, as the city was abandoned and the Hittite state ceased to exist.
