The Kadesh Peace Treaty is one of the earliest known peace agreements in history, signed around 1259 BCE between the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II and the Hittite King Hattusili III. This treaty was established after years of conflict over territory and influence in the region, particularly around the city of Kadesh. The treaty aimed to ensure mutual protection and cooperation between the two powers. It included provisions for military alliances and the return of refugees. The Kadesh Peace Treaty is significant not only for its historical context but also for its role in shaping diplomatic relations in the ancient world.
