The Khan wasn't bluffing either. Baghdad was razed to the ground, and its inhabitants were slaughtered to a man. A nuclear strike wouldn't have caused as much destruction as the Mongols.
Divine Right the Abbasids had already become weak and a shadow of its former selves. Although the Caliph was the "head" of the muslim world, by this time they had no real power outside of Baghdad and southern Iraq.

There was never an Islamic Golden Age. It's a BBC fantasy.
If a bunch of backward mountain people came down and taking over the government it wouldn't be called a Mountain People Golden age.
Islam built nothing, it destroyed. All these 'great thinkers' were recent converts. The poison had not set in.
@Mendel - Yes there was an Islamic golden age like it or not but there are many misconceptions around it. Like the mongols they didn't really do anything themselves but opened trade and brought the great works of the greco-romans and Persians together(Many of their scientists were dhimmis). From the fall of Rome to the 12th century they were more powerful than Western Europe but the Byzantines were still the dominant power in the Mediterranean. As the Byzantines' power waned Western Europeans became relatively equal to the Muslims around the 12th century, had a slight edge from from the 15th to 17th century, and left them in the dust from the 18th century onward. The Ottomans only survived because of French and British intervention. They needed them alive to keep the central european powers and Russia in check.
Well even had he been bluffing the act of calling such a bluff would be an insolence that demanded reprisal. If you knew a Mongol khan to be bluffing would you call it? Of course not because the Khan's political currency is his word, and even if he has no intent behind a threat, said intent will become manifest in the anger that is provoked if ever his word is taken lightly.

Then it has the wrong name. The Mongol Golden Age was named after the mongol people and their conquests.
Islamic Golden Ages is trumpeted not in conquest terms but in supposed cultural and scientific achievements (que gasping Brit spinning lies). Therefore it should be called the Arabic Golden Age. The age they went out and conquered.
The Khans don’t make threats. They make promises.
You gotta give credit to the mongols, they deliver on their words.
Fair warning on steroids!!
exceot to mamluks
@@iliassaleh9324 yeah the mamluks didn’t joke around.
😁
Good comment !
Most elegant threat I've ever heard.
Dayum son. Khan isn't putting up with any bullshit.
He ended the Caliphate. The only bad thing from Hulagu was him destroying Baghdad. All that knowledge.
He probably wanted to erase everything that will remind the people of the Abbasid Caliphate.
Khan didn't have time for no Mickey Mouse bullshit
The Mongols really put everyone in their place. Damn.
Gixxer Fixxer halal food was illegal when the mongols were in power too. and kosher. and a lot of mongol leaders were muslim converts.
Jules CM Why were they illegal?
Except for the Mamlukes, the Vietnamese, the Indians, the Indonesians, the western Europeans...
Ruairoquai the Indians were conquered by the Mughals, a dynasty that claimed descent from Genghis Khan.
Tedros A. Balema Well yes, but the Mughals weren't quite Mongols.
now that is a diplomat !
The Mongols sure didnt take any shit.
No one expects the Mongolian Inquisition...
It wasn't a warning but a promise.
And the Caliph of Baghdad ignores this and gets his city sacked :-)
He was a fool and died saying that I am the King. And Hulegu said if you are the king take this and melted his Golden throne and spilled on his face
Not true mergan. According to Islamic and Mongol sources hulagu wrapped the caliph up In a carpet then had his horses trample him to death, saying with satisfaction that he spilt no royal blood.
Marco polo had a different tale but that wasn't it, he said that hulagu starved the caliph by locking him into a room with his treasures, telling the caliph "here are your treasures you love so much", encouraging him to eat them.
The caliph may have said that profusely, but he was driven insane after watching the whole city get massacred
@@OrangeBurgerSC706 Islamic sources are written with hate. Marco polo's tale is argumentative. Mongol tale is too. The issue is that the 13th century Mongols did not record all of the events as they were mostly busy conquering. Moreover, recording history is more of a Greek thing as it is started there. But Nomadic people were not interested in pictures and scripts but power and wealth.
@@aslof1069 the Mongols had their scribes record them, who were either Iranian or Chinese.
the arabs of course wrote with hate, but the iranians had no reason to mourn the abbasid caliphate or take any position in its defense, while Chinghis Khan destroyed Khorasan, Hulagu did not participate in many massacres (his only large one being the sack of baghdad)
Recording history is not a greek thing, at all. herodotus is often called "the father of history" but really Egyptians and Iranians had historical records in one shape or another (herodotus himself admitted he was not a reliable source and said he simply compounded a bunch of tales he heard partnered with his own flights of fancy).
absolute fucking badass.

*HULAGU LETTER WAS VERY DECENT AND BASED*
@@b-1battledroid674 BASED MONGOLS 💊
One good way to improve the these series is to have text following the audio.
or both :)
Hulagu Khan, also known as Hülegü or Hulegu was a Mongol ruler who conquered much of Western Asia. Son of Tolui, a grandson of Genghis Khan and brother of Ariq Böke, Möngke Khan, and Kublai Khan.
Hulagu's army greatly expanded the southwestern portion of the Mongol Empire, founding the Ilkhanate of Persia, a precursor to the eventual Safavid dynasty, and then the modern state of Iran. Under Hulagu's leadership, the siege of Baghdad (1258) destroyed the greatest center of Islamic power and also weakened Damascus, causing a shift of Islamic influence to the Mamluk Sultanate in Cairo. (from Wikipedia)
This was no empty threat, Hulagu really did deliver on his word. Everyone inside the city everyone was slaughtered, Baghdad was razed to the ground and he ruined the fertile soil, infrastructure and irrigation of the surrounding area. The city still hasn't recovered to this day. This is a lesson on what happens when you pick fights that you can't win.
@آشوربانيبال ملك آشور isn't Mongol are the one in the story of Ya'juj Ma'juj?
Yup, it was like f*ck around and find out. And muslims certainly did.
@@Brucebanner1432 Just like how the Mongols and Christians did at the hand of the Mamluks.
@@Alex-tx2em mongols were not saving their city from utter destruction though.
@@Brucebanner1432 Still got decimated, and collapsed right after the fall of Baghdad for reasons specifically related to Muslim Mongols.
That's one nice "Tough Khan" copypasta you got there.
More seriously, when you consider what the mongol did back in the day, that ultimatum becomes all the more chilling. Can't understand how the muslims can bitch about the crusades when they had to deal with those guys.
Knoloaify Its the one point in their time they conviniently forget about.
In this case both are Muslim. Also, the crusades were about which religion had control over Jerusalem; this is just about who's giving the orders.
Knoloaify Because 1) After Baghdad, the mongols were raped at Ain Jalut by Saifuddin Qutz
2)Mongols later converted to Islam and they are seen as a source of pride by Muslims.
you mean left over Soldiers? if full army was there i doubt Mamluck having chance.
Misheel Tubshinbaatar Are we analysing the army capabilities or stating what actual happened? The mongols were stopped, end of story.
Hulegu was the man. Married a Christian woman. When Baghdad fell, 800,000 Muslims were put to the sword. The Christians were spared. So what the Mongols did in less than 2 years, was far more than the Christians of Europe did in 200. Defeat Islam. Damascus fell without a shot being fired after accounts of the Mongol might a year and half later. On a side note. Baghdad was the first recorded use of the gun. Dozens of Mongols used long iron wrapped bamboo tubes. Firing bullets from long distance and hitting targets. Cannons also, but far less effective. The Chinese invented gunpowder. The Mongols invented the gun.
"defeat islam" just for his descendants to convert to it. meanwhile christianity has been defeated for the past 50 years or so.
anyway, why are you celebrating a pagan victory as yours?

Now that's an ultimatum!
Excellent choice
khan's a badass
Oh my heritage I feel so Pumped Thx Sargon.
The funny thing is that even after this the caliph didn’t mobilize his army and turned to his luxurious life. With that kind of caliph, Baghdad was bound to fall.
True they took advantage of the Muslim rulers decadence and disunity to the best of their abilities and the rest is history
The caliphate had been getting weaker for decades, it was bound to fall.

Trust fund babies.... whatcha gonna do?
+John Doe
only after he asked nicely. Genghis wouldn't have asked and given him a chance to kneel. The newer generations are always softer. It is the trust fund baby syndrome.
Nah. Ghengis specifically didn’t want one of his sons to succeed him. He thought them him violent. Imagine a guy like him deeming another too violent lmao. He chose the next Khan to be of calmer disposition
I think it was difference in culture. Genghis was an OG nomad horseman. Hulagu and his generation had more exposure to other cultures, learning different ways of communication and war etiquette from them.
This is misleading. Actually, Conggis sent 3 ambassador when inalchuq arrested their trader but Kwarazm shah behead them and sent to Cinggis khan then Cinggis wrath razed kwarazm to the ground.
I clicked on this to look a comments and they are exactly what I expected.

"It was never a religion of peace, y'all!"
Well, it's ironic NOW, but it didn't used to be. Not saying that the religion is what supposedly 'created' the arab and persian civilizations of the middle ages - that claim is inherently ridiculous; it's the same as saying the west needed to be christian before they could get to the enlightenment... because yes, I'm sure they needed 1000 years of authoritarian theological aristocracy before they could learn sciencin' (extreme /s). There are christians that believe that btw, so many of those muslims believing the other one, aren't that far removed.
But sure, saying 'religion of peace' like that doesn't mean much unless you can back it up. Say, quoting the violent parts of the quuran with context, or quoting violent parts of the hadith.
I think the roots of the concept of the religion of peace lies in the early years of Islam, where a lot of local sectarian strife might have ended when everybody in an area was converted. It never meant that there wouldent be war or conquest.

It is actually a real letter that is found in the library in Chinese capital city, By that time Mongols created their Capital city in China. Thats why.

Genghis would've sacked the city and slaughtered everyone inside the first time the caliph failed to show obedience. Hulagu had given him a second chance to save his city.
I don't know, after the governor of otear wiped out the caravan of envoys seeking to trade with the khwarazmian empire temujin sent three emisarries to the king muhammed and demanded the governor be handed for retribution.
@@taino-sr2vy That's because he thought the governor acted on his own and he was busy campaigning in China at the time. While destroying the khwarezmings, the western xia refused to support him in his campaign west much like caliph here which genghis promptly responded by literally wiping them from existence. Every city, settlement and trace as a people gone just like that. So much so that we barely even know anything about them other than it's complete annihilation and many didn't even know they had existed until the 20th century. That's how genghis punished disobedience.
a right good christmas classic
Thanks to mongols they conquered the muslims
What was the relgion of Mongolia at this time?
Islam mainly
CyanideSovereign No they didn't become muslim until after razing Baghdad.
It was never really Islam in Mongolia. It was mostly the Western hordes that converted.
Tengri
CyanideSovereign Tengrism/Shamanism, same religion as ancient Hungarians, central asian Turkic people and the Tavastian tribe of Finland
What happened next?
The walls of Baghdad where torn down, and a mock wall of the inhabitants skulls was placed around the city.
And the caliph was rolled into a carpet and trampled by horses.
The Mongols took the city then beheaded 800,000 citizens and placed them giant piles.
The world needs to learn from the pass.
And what was the Caliphs reason for not sending troops?
The Kings of Al-Sham (aka Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, etc) were too busy fighting amongst themselves to aid him. Around the same time. One of the Kings was fighting with anther Kind in the area and the Sultan of Eygpt.

Hulagu 💯✊🏾
now Mongolia 60% population is buddhist
It is actually becoming more attheist. Because whenever people trusted believing god the whole economy went down and happiness of people also dropped down. So newer generation will not give a fuck to religion. Because if only bring bad things such as lie etc.
Buddhism simply means no god that's why Mongols turn atheist and atheism is reality.
Hulagu doesn't fuck around
Seems like a nice guy, relatively speaking. Genghis would have razed Baghdad to the ground for the same offense.
Hulagu proceeded to raze the city and kill it's 900,000 inhabitants. No khan is merciful
Yeah, but he offered him a way out if he would have taken personal responsibility like a proper ruler.
Hulagu actually showed mercy by giving them a choice. Genghis would've likely just wiped Baghdad off the face of the planet with no prior notice.
He did indeed raze the city, but it's likely the Arab historians exaggerated, as the Mongols personally claimed to have killed much less and they were known for bragging about their deathtolls.
Richy Rich halugula raized it and killed between 900,000 to 2,000,000 inhabitants.

@@SH-uv5kv and Baibars converted the golden and white hordes to Islam we dived them and conquered them .
