The Hittite Empire collapsed in the 12th century BCE during a wide-ranging period of crisis that shook the Eastern Mediterranean world.

The capital Hattusa was abandoned and central administration disintegrated. This collapse is regarded as part of a wide-ranging Late Bronze Age collapse that also affected the other great states of the period and whose causes, including migrations, internal disturbances, economic problems, and climatic factors, are debated.
