It started with the Volcano (Thera) which devastated the 'Minoans' Then there was a series of weather events that forced many tribes off their farms. They then became raiders. The Myceneans took over Crete, then they themselves were conquered. The remnants started migrations that became large enough to take down civilizations. Some of them became pirates, so trade stopped; no trade - no tin or copper imports. The Bronze Age depended on bronze, so their cities began to fail. Tribes of Sea Peoples (or Hyksos) decided to take over Egypt, the last holdout, and they forced the Egyptians to move southwards. Then the Egyptians rallied and eventually threw them out. They migrated to the ME and other parts and became the Phoenicians and the Canaanites.
'Causes of the Late Bronze Age Collapse — Over Complexity, Environmental Problems, Mass Migrations, & Disruptive Technologies. The westward migrations of the late-Roman period that saw Europe populated with Germanic peoples is thought to have been triggered by the westward migration of Mongolic tribes as well.' (Wikipedia)

You're getting centuries confused. The eruption at Thera was 400 years earlier.
