In this episode of The History of the Mongols, we cover one of the most infamous events in Islamic history , the 1258 sack of Baghdad by Hülegü Khan. What began as a siege quickly became an annihilation. The great city of learning, once the jewel of the Abbasid Caliphate, was reduced to rubble. The last Caliph was executed. The Tigris ran thick with blood and legend. But this wasn’t just destruction...it was the collapse of an entire world order.
