Fall of Baghdad (Mongol Invasion)

The Mongol conquest of the Abbasid Caliphate culminated in the horrific sack of Baghdad that effectively ended the Abbasid Golden Age.
For many historians, the arrival of the Mongols into the heart of Muslim faith and empire is the single most devastating moment in the history of the Muslim Middle East. It’s easy to see why-and hard to argue otherwise-because the Sack of Baghdad would mark the end of the Abbasid Golden Age.
Rather than submit, the Abbasid caliph challenged the Mongols to try and storm his city, if they dared. The nomadic army from Asia-led by Hulagu Khan, one of Genghis Khan’s grandsons-did indeed dare. Doing what they are most famous for, the Mongols thrashed Baghdad. In 10 days of unremitting violence and destruction, Baghdad and its inhabitants were completely, and utterly vanquished. Almost without exception, the population was either put to the sword or sold into slavery. The River Tigris ran red-to cite one of the most over-quoted, and overwrought phrases in history-with the blood of slaughtered men, women and children.

The video forgot the most important part. The main Mongol forces under China split into Yuan Empire and stopped supporting the Mongols in the West.That is what completely crippled the Mongols in the West.

[@FreedomForever2010]

@@makemap The split was caused by the Mongols lacking clear succession laws. You can see the same trend of flash in the pan empires in other empires that lacked clear succession. In the second generation everyone remembers who the founder named his heir, but by the third generation there are a multitude of claimants and things go to hell as everyone carves out their own empire. It wasn't the split that crippled the Mongols, it was the lack of clear succession that caused the split, which then crippled the empire as the successors fought for arch-supremacy.

[@makemap]

@@FreedomForever2010 Most of mongols main tacticians and military equipment were from China during Ghenghis Khans rein. That is why they were successful. The Chinese left and went back to China to deal with Yuan dynasty. This left Western Mongols out of gunpowder weapons from the early age of invasion and high manpower that the Chinese fighting with the Mongols to successfully hold the West. When the Chinese left the Chinese allies in the mongol army also started breaking away. Thus the civil war began. It was actually the Chinese that helped the Mongol to move that far. The Franks(French) even knew and tried to ally the Mongols. Franco-Mongol Alliance. But it was kind of late and they couldn't get the support they wanted from Mongols. That is why during Napoleons rein, he has a quote: "Let China sleep, for when she wakes up, she will move the world." Exactly what is happening today that US is messing with China. China is moving the world technologically and trade so far, but not militarily yet.

Hulagu originally planned to attack Cairo via Palestine and attack the Mamluk dynasty. But at this moment, a sudden event changed the fate of the Arab world. Hulagu learned that his older brother Mengge Khan had died in the battle against Diaoyu City in the Southern Song Dynasty(Southern China) at the end of 1259. The brothers were caught in the struggle for the position of Khan and decided to lead the main force back to east, leaving only Buhua (Hulagu's subordinates) led less than 10000 cavalry units remained in Syria. On September 3, 1260, the Mongolian army of Buhua and the Egyptian Mamluk army fought at Ainzarut. The battle ended in a complete victory for the Egyptian army, which also announced the end of Mongolian Empire to the west. So the battle of Diaoyu City rescued Muslim civilization.

In Mosul alone 50% were Christians 30% Jewish.

[@manalhangawe742]

@Heus HadThe Christians were between two enemies one, the Mongol, demanded money - the other, the Muslims, wanted to remove them from their country, their land, despite the fact that they, the Christians, liked to live among the Muslims. Also our ancestors, our for fathers, at least in Mosul, were persecuted, oppressed, in 246 AC at the hands of the Persians- because the Mousselines were Christians and Jewish- then at the hands of the Abassed Abo Ja'afar Almansour who killed the dignitaries of Mosul and thousands of its people, and his army raped some women, as they were pretty, and for what? for complaining that the tribute, Jiziya, was too high, as the city was so rich for its industry, and because they demanded autonomy. It remained a Jewish city for seven centuries, omitted from history.The city of Mosul originally founded by the children of Israel in 600BC after the Assyrian were annihilated, at the hands of the Medes and Babylonians, then, and by the end of the first century the majority embraced Christianity, monotheists, did not believe in the Trinity, but resorted to the Roman Byzantine Church in 1350s for protection and lost the Essence of their creed- as all the priests were previously killed and remained without clergy for a century. The region was called the Fertile Crescent as it was so rich. The question is who attacked the Levant at the first place? There were continuous wars for centuries between the Saljukes, the Turks, then the Mumlukes- by the way they were not Egyptians- and the Christians. In Mosul people lived all together- Christians, Jewish, and Muslims- after 1120 Ad- in harmony loved each other and they all defended the city as one man. (the majority of the Original people of Iraq, particularly Mosul, Tikriet, A'ana Rawa at the Ephraties banks and in Syria were originally the Children Of Israel). prior the advent of Islam, Iraq was Christian in the city of Al-Hearah and Jewish to the north, around what was known as Baghdad, they lived from Baghdad to the city of Babel. (Also it is worth mentioning that the Chritians and Jews were the Arab of Iraq and Syria and spoke Arabic in its best form, an example; the clan of Taghlub in Syria and their per- Islam era poet Omar bin Kulthoum. Also Imroa'-Elkyes lived in Syria).

By the way,According to Tibetan Vikshu and historian Gyananshree Kulachrya's records, a group of Vikshu went to Mirzapur to request Bakhtiar Khilji to invade Magadha(Journal of the Varendra Research Society, Rajshahi,1940). Finally, you shouldn't blame invaders when your kingdom has so much injustice and discrimination based of castes or faith which makes people join foreign invaders.

[@warpaint7486]

I've read it. A pretty awesome historical fiction (emphasis on FICTION) series overall but completely horrible when it comes to historical accuracy. First book was somewhat semi-historical, but the rest were utterly ahistorical and anachronistic. The Mongols just kept being depicted as a bunch of savage horse warriors akin to game of thrones' dothraki who won most of their battles through brute force alone as opposed to the technologically and culturaly sophisticated militaristic empire that they truly were.

[@vinicius21989]

@@warpaint7486 as I recall, they were not described as a bunch of technologyless savages, but a people who conquered and absorbed technology from China, built a great capital city with huge walls, but still internally disagreed on whether they should maintain their nomadic lifestyle pre-empire or settle in conquered lands. But anyway, the Conn saga is just entertainment really, it shouldn't be taken as anything super historically accurate, like Cornwell's Saxon Chronicles.

[@warpaint7486]

@vinicius21989 My critique mostly revolves around the battles depicted during the series. I just think it's regrettable that Conn Igulden seemed reluctant or unable to consistently portray accurate, historical battle sequences in his book. Especially considering all the first-hand military sources he could've drawn upon from that time period. Funnily enough, I find that Bernard Cornwell (kudos for mentioning him, btw. You have great taste in books lol) excels in that regard compared to Conn Igulden and should be seen as a benchmark of what can be achieved when you write historically accurate battles. That is to say, one can inject a greater degree of immersion into the story while still efficiently conveying the themes that are already present.But then again, it's all moot - as you've said, these books are all entertainment and not something you'd look at to find historicity. Just felt like I had to point all that out because that was my biggest gripe with the Conqueror series.

[@vinicius21989]

@@warpaint7486 i got it. As for the way the Mongols fought, I am not able to say whether it was well described in the books.

Those who do such acts of ruthless brutality are not adamis, means not Basharah. These two terms in Arabic means they are not descendants of Adam, who were eventually were onboard of Noah's Ark- during the Great Flood that took place exclusively in Mesopotamia- then from there to Europe. So the conclusion is only the original people of the ME (Iraq, the Levant, and only Hijaze not the whole Arabia)(only 20% of them left today, and their race have been mixed chiefly with Indians, some Africans and Asians) are humans, Adamis or Basharah (they have never ever been human flesh eaters) and they are of mankind.

couple of examples for "maybe-but-dogmas" about past changes took place: 1. most historians are taught that mongolian western forces retreated because of civil war between cousins in main heartland, so they left Europe to kill each other. For that action, the possible clue is, there was a really bad draught and famine in eastern Europe, so they decided better to stay alive and leave back to grassland. Be realistic. Not even the most stupid people will leave back 3000 km just to have another battle. 2. Genghis Khan is known to say "remind me that the Tanguts between Mongols and China still exist, I will perish them first", because of known vendetta from the past. Actual reason is just to control the main population of bactrian and dromedary camels which were used for silk road transportation. Nobody talks that the Tanguts were the main owners of camels in central asia. Camels were just like train locomotives, pulling most of international trade cargo at that time. Massacre of Tanguts were horrible, and their remnant people could survive mainly in today's Tibet. There are many real actions that we don't know the truths, still exist...

The Caliph said (this was the estimation of God), so Hulagu said to him (and what will happen to you is the estimation of God as well). yes At the end of its era, the Abbasid state was weak, corroded from within, and mired in corruption The Caliph was not interested in the army, nor in strengthening it, nor even in the people. All he cared about was maids, dancers and parties Empires always fall from within In 2003, when the Iraqi people, due to the economic blockade, could not buy a shirt, the people were buying tea filled with black-coated sawdust that was distributed to the citizens. The salary of an Iraqi soldier was equivalent to a dollar a month The soldier was sitting on the bass floor, hoping that the bus owner would sympathize with him and not take his fare The salary of an Iraqi teacher is $2 per month. As for Saddam Hussein, he was busy building dozens of legendary palaces and acquiring golden weapons. He bathed in milk and only ate deer meat. As for Uday bin Saddam, his behavior was similar to that of the Caliph Al-Musta`sim in God Uday was a womanizer who was only interested in parties, dancing, drunkenness, and extorting wives from their husbands by force in order to have intercourse with them, and then he would send the wife back to her husband the next day. What was the result?! Your rule collapsed in a matter of days. The people did not want them to stay. Neither the people nor the army fought to defend them. They let them fall.

Jamil Jama No they kill everyone including Shia and sunni and non Muslims who were working in high places like translators and and writers and so on most of the people who translated Greek Books and Persian books weren’t Muslims so they translated them from their mother languages to Arabic. In that time Bagdad was full of multicultural people even they said it was the most populated city in the world that era of a population of something around 2 millions or less. When Mongols destroyed Bagdad they killed around million of the population including all islamic sec and non Muslims too. A muslim woman that saw Ibn AlAlqami been humiliated by mongol soldiers she told him did the caliph treated you that way? Did the Abbased Army humiliated you ever like those whom you subjected to them. Leter on he hanged himself after he realised all of his people and his memories and his friends been slaughtered by Mongols. So from these events we can noticed that Mongols didn’t leave anyone unless the the ones who escaped the city and they slaughtered everyone by sword either a shia or a sunna or sufi or jew or Christian either they are Arabs or non Arabs all are slaughtered by mongols and the rest of the city burned down to the ground

Mistaken is from the adviser... Sultan very kind and he trusted to his adviser and sultan never aspect the war will come... Becouse that time Baghdad was city of knowledge... All the kind of book of knowledge that been written was throw away in river until the river become dark becouse of the ink... And one more monngul attack bagdhad with his alliance...

Sack of Baghdad was nothing in front of what the Islamic forces had done in India. Among other universities the most famous Nalanda university was burnt down by Bakhtiyar khilji. Thousands of Hindu temples were destroyed. But for how long the evil forces can subjugate the truth. Bharat still stands tall and the places from where the desert cult had come are in ashes.

[@mint8648]

India was a largely illiterate society monopolized by oppressive brahmins, with less than half the contributions of the islamic golden age. The burning of Nalanda was no great loss. No wonder so many dalits converted to islam.
