Around 1200 B.C. they struggled with famine while being attacked by Mediterranean invaders, known as sea people, and by nomad tribes in the east this was their down fall. From 1595 B.C. to 625 B.C. the Babylonians were under rule from invaders until a general known as Nabopolassar drove out the invaders and became king. Soon after Their great new empire emerged.

Explanation:

One way that the empires were distinctive is that they had two different geological locations - Hittites were in the Anatolian area while the Babylonians were established in the Mesopotamian region. The Hittites were known for their chariots and metal works while the Babylonians were identified for their literature and law systems.
