The Assuwa league was a confederation of states in western Anatolia, defeated by the Hittites under an earlier Tudhaliya I around 1400 BC.
Assuwa appears to lie north of Arzawa, covering the northwestern corner of Anatolia.
Assuwa has been suggested as the origin for the name of the continent Asia (Bossert, 1946).

 Assuwa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since the later Tudhaliya IV was known to have had frontier trouble between 1250 and 1200 BC, and since the text lists rebel nations in much the way Ramesses II does, the first consensus dated this text - and so Assuwa - to Tudhaliyas IV.
This dating appears in all older literature on the fall of Hatti, and crops up every now and then to this day.
However the consensus has since then come around to dating Assuwa to an earlier Tudhaliyas, which means prior to Suppiluliumas and so prior to 1350 BC.

 Arzawa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arzawa is a region or kingdom in what was later to be known as Lydia in Western Anatolia.
It was the western neighbour and sometimes vassal of the Hittites, and probably bordered on the Assuwa league to the north.
The language spoken in Arzawa during the Bronze Age and early Iron Age was Luwian, a member of the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European family.

The Assuwa league was a confederation of states in western Anatolia, defeated by the Hittites under Tudhaliya IV around 1250 BC.
The league had been formed to oppose the failing Hittite empire.
However, identification of Luqqa with Lukka (Lycia) is problematic, because that would put the Assuwa league both north and south of Arzawa in southwestern Anatolia.

Texts previously assigned to the late-13th-century kings Tudhaliyas (Tudkhaliash) IV and Arnuwandas III have been shown to belong to the reigns of their predecessors Tudhaliyas II (or I) and Arnuwandas I in the late 15th and early 14th centuries BC.
Tudhaliyas II conquered Arzawa and Assuwa (later Asia) in the west and in the southeast captured and destroyed Aleppo, defeated Mitanni, and entered into an alliance with Kizzuwadna, which he later incorporated into his kingdom.
In the north, however, access to the Black Sea was blocked by invasions of the Kaska (Kashku) tribes, and this threat was to continue into the reigns of his successors.Tudhaliyas II was succeeded by his son Arnuwandas I, who was under attack from all directions: even Hattusas, the capital, was burned down.

 The Flâneur - Who Were The Etruscans?
This rebellious alliance was the League of Assuwa, and included Masa, Luqqa, and Karkija, as well as Wilusa and Truisa.
The Hittites also refer to the buccaneering antics of the king of Ahhijawa, evidently a powerful ruler from across the sea, who was nominally an ally of the Hittites, but who seemed to be playing everyone off against each other for his own ends.
Homer calls the Greeks Achaean, and the intriguing possibility emerges that the mysterious (and troublesome) king of Ahhijawa is the king of Achaea - namely Agamemnon, commander of the Greek forces besieging Troy.

He gathered 10.000 soldiers and 600 chariots of the country Assuwa and made an uprising.
While I Tudhaliya, the Great King, was in the country Assuwa, in order to fight, the troop of the Gasga behind me began hostilities and entered in the country Hatti and destroyed the Land.
As soon as I, Tudhaliya, Great King, arrived at Hattusa, the troops of the enemy escaped; then I pursued him evenly and went into the Gasga country in order to fight.

The first name has been associated with Pedasos in Mysia of the Troad south of Troy, the second with the Dardanoi of the Troad, the third with southwest Anatolia, the fourth with Caria, the fifth with Lukka/Lycia, and the sixth with Arzawa in western Anatolia (Barnett 1975, 359-62; Breasted 1906, 3:123ff.; Gardiner 1961, 262ff.).
A few years after the defeat of the Assuwa League by the Hittite king Tudhaliya IV, Lycia, Caria, and possibly a few others showed up among the Trojan allies fighting against the Achaeans, according to the Iliad.
For them, the Assuwa League was strictly in northwest Anatolia, stretching north of Arzawa to the Troad (1959, 105-7).
