Assuwa (Hittite: πΈππΏ, romanized: aΕ‘-Ε‘u-wa; Mycenaean Greek: ππ―πΉπ, romanized: a-si-wi-ja)[1][2] was a confederation of 22 states in western Anatolia around 1400 BC. The confederation formed to oppose the Hittite Empire, but was defeated under Tudhaliya I/II.[3][4][5] The name was recorded in various centres in Mycenaean Greece as Asiwia, which later acquired the form Asia.[2]
