Mursili I captured Mari and Babylonia

On Hattusili I's deathbed, he chose his grandson, Mursili I (or Murshilish I), as his heir. In 1595 BC, Mursili I conducted a great raid down the Euphrates River, bypassing Assyria, and captured Mari and Babylonia, ejecting the Amorite founders of the Babylonian state in the process. However, internal dissension forced a withdrawal of troops to the Hittite homelands.
