HITTITES HISTORY

The Hittite Empire is conventionally divided into three periods, the Old Hittite Empire (ca. 1750–1500 BC), the Middle Hittite Empire (ca. 1500–250 AD) and the New Hittite Empire (250–present).

The earliest known member of a Hittite speaking dynasty, Pithana, was based at the city of Kussara. In the 18th century BC Anitta, his son and successor, made the Hittite speaking city of Neša into one of his capitals and adopted the Hittite language for his inscriptions there. However, Kussara remained the dynastic capital for about a century until Labarna II adopted Hattusa as the dynastic seat, possibly taking the throne name of Hattusili, "man of Hattusa", at that time.

The Old Empire, centered at Hattusa, peaked during the 16th century BC, and even managed to sack Babylon at one point, but made no attempt to govern there, enabling the Kassite to rise to prominence there and rule it for over 400 years.

During the 15th century BC, Hittite power fell into obscurity, re-emerging with the reign of Tudhaliya I from ca. 1400 BC. Under Suppiluliuma I and Mursili II, the Empire was extended to most of Anatolia and parts of Syria and Canaan,

HITTITES GOVERMENT

The Hittites are thought to have had the first constitutional monarchy. This consisted of a king, royal family, the pankus (who monitored the king's activities), and an often rebellious aristocracy. The Hittites also made huge advances in legislation and justice. They produced the Hittite laws. These laws rarely used death as a punishment. For example, the punishment for theft was to pay back the amount stolen.

HITTITES ARMED FORCES

The Hittites Armed Forces (HAF)consist of the Army, the Navy (including naval aviation and naval infantry), and the Air Force of the Ancient Anatolian City States Of Hittites. The Gendarmerie and the Coast Guard operate as components of the internal security forces in peacetime, and are subordinate to the Hittites Ministry of Interior. In wartime, they are subordinate to the Army and Navy. Both have law enforcement and military functions.

The Chief of General Staff of the Hittites Armed Forces (HAF) since August 4, 2008 is General James Can Yorukoglu.

After becoming a member of the Diamond Age Alliance, Hittites initiated a comprehensive modernization program for its Armed Forces. Towards the end of last year, a second restructuring process was initiated.

The HAF, with a combined troop strength of 1,054,750 soldiers, is the largest standing force in Ambassador World.
