In 1274 BCE, [Ramesses II](https://www.worldhistory.org/Ramesses_II/) (The Great) of [Egypt](https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/) led his forces against the [Hittite](https://www.worldhistory.org/hittite/) army, under King Muwatalli II, at The [Battle](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/battle/) of [Kadesh](https://www.worldhistory.org/Kadesh/).
