Topic: The Battle of Kadesh:

Topic description: The Battle of Kadesh (1274 BCE) was a major conflict between Pharaoh Ramses II of Egypt and King Mutawalli II of the Hittites, near the city of Kadesh in present-day Syria. Due to the severe tensions between Egypt and the Hittite Empire, fostering a climate of trust was complicated. Both empires faced significant military challenges, struggling to supply and communicate effectively with their large armies, which hampered operational success. Economically, the extensive resources required for sustained military campaigns strained their finances, limiting their ability to maintain prolonged engagements. Delegates have the ability to affect the outcome of the conflict between Hittite and Egyptian civilizations by strengthening diplomatic and political ties with other city states, improving military tactics and strategies, planning military operations, and establishing covert military bases.
