Akehnaten's Foriegn Policy
Foreign Policy Akhenaten’s foreign policy is highly controversial, with some scholars believing that he was too preoccupied with religious reform to bother with foreign policy. Others believe that he was a pacifist who dealt with foreign affairs in a diplomatic manner as his father Amenhotep III is believed to have done. A more recent view is that Akhenaten monitored the balance of power in the Near East and fought at least one war against the Hittites.
