- How did the Mongols Destroy Baghdad in 1258?
The destruction of Baghdad in 1258 was a devastating event in the history of the city and the Islamic world. It occurred when the Mongol forces of Hulagu Khan captured and sacked the city, marking the end of the Abbasid Caliphate. The once-glorious city, renowned as a center of learning and culture, was left in ruins, its libraries and palaces burned, and its citizens murdered or enslaved. The events of that day marked a turning point in the history of Baghdad, and the city would never fully recover during the next centuries from the destruction wrought by the Mongols. The sack of Baghdad remains a symbol of the brutality and violence of Mongol expansion.

That's because of timur.
@@MisheelTubshinbaatar-mr3rj Not Timur. The Mongols struck there long ago and Timur (who himself admired the Khan) finished it,
@@diomuda7903 well before Mongol it was already passed its zenith at had less commercial power. If you read sources on people talking about Baghdad recovery in Between Ilkhanate and Jalayrid sultanate usually talks how commercial activity become more alive than its Abbadisd caliph wanning days.

The Sack of Baghdad was more of a scientific loss rather than a political one since the Abbasids had been a city state for three centuries at the time of the siege

@@cypher221 Alexandria was already destroyed by Cesar and no historical account state that the Arabs burned or sacked the city
It's much like the burning of the library of Alexandria and the Christian destruction of anything polytheism and of writers who were polytheistic.

Not much or a loss as most of the literature was from eastern rome

Chinese history is also full of examples of chancellors taking power from the emperors, leaving them mere puppets.
@PapaOscarNovember what's funny about that to me, is from my understanding, the courtiers were unics to prevent that very scenario. With the idea that a unic can't have children and create a dynasty. But it just left them bitter and without their balls lol. So of course they would plot against you. For fucks sake, _you cut off their balls_
Internal politics with different factions and power grabs was always dangerous anywhere, anytime you go. Go back to even the Bronze Age powers. Rome was famous for it. The different dynasties of Imperial China had many problems with court intrigues, power plays, usurpers, etc.
Sultan Qutuz, who had a great victory against the Mongols at Ain Julut, 1260 AD, was on his way home, celebrating the achievement. Then he was assassinated by members of his own court during the return, with help of one of his leading generals, Baybars, who became Sultan afterwards.
Not just Baghdad in 1236 cordoba in Spain was lost too and that was also the centre of education and gold age of Islam and Baghdad in 1258
And another City that was just like Baghdad before being sacked called Merv.

This Guy is Pushing Sunni Propaganda. Muslims were not harmed in any way by the Mongols, The Mongols were peaceful people who the Sunnis Dared to Provoke. He also fails to mention Sunnis killed Mongol Envoy and sent its Severed head back to the Mongol Khan not to mention Sunnis Raiding Mongol Trade Convoys and looting and Raping and Killing Mongol Men, Women and Children. They paid for what they deserved and their King also suffered the same Consequences as Sunnis did to the Fatimid Shia Empire. The western propaganda of calling the loss of Sunnis as a loss of Muslim World is completely wrong. In Fact the Mongols liberated many of the Oppressed Religious Communities by the Sunni Tyrants ruling them. The Fall of Baghdad should be celebrated as Liberation of Baghdad from Sunni Tyrants and thanks to the Mongols today 80% of Baghdad is inhabited by Muslim who follow the True path of Islam of Prophet Mohammad and his Successor Hazrat Ali. People will call Mongols as Barbarians but won't call Salahuddin who destroyed the History City of Cairo and killed it's Inhabitants and Burnt the University of Cairo as Barbarian. He Forced them to convert to Religion of Abu Bakr and Umar and Massacred who refused. The First University in the world was built by Shias in Cairo and Sunni Tyrant Salahuddin Burnt it and to this day Sunnis still use it to spread their ideology today it's called Al Azhar University. This just shows the Hypocrisy of the Intellectuals who favour Sunni Narrative and their false propaganda over Truth and Reality.

Right, the mongols had one of the most effective armies in human history. And some very formidable generals like Subutai. He annihilated a Rus army with about 80.000 or more soldiers with only 23.000 mounted soldiers in 1223 near the Kalka river in what is today Sibiria. and this attack was only a recon expedition - the real invasion came in the 1240ies, leaving kiev and other rus city states in flames.
@@calvinsuu1949 thanks for the info. I did not know the Song Dynasty had flame throwers. I thought only the Byzantines have such weapons.
A great narration to a great tragedy. So much to learn
The Mongol army that destroyed Baghdad was international. Most from subject nations, while others not. There were 1,000 Chinese siege engineers. Persian auxiliaries. A large force of Armenians and Georgians, even the Armenian King was present. There may have been a Frankish contingent, possibly mercenaries from the Crusader kingdom of Antioch

The Great Wall predates what we think of as "Mongols". It was certainly built on and expanded during medieval times, but it was begun to keep out the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu were kinda like the earlier version of later nomadic pastoralist steppe cultures. and also may have been the origin of the Huns as well. Great Video!
I suppose the Kazakhs' ancestors were the Huns or a large part of that confederation of mounted thugs.

@@mehmetkayraozer9164 yeah I guess I used a bad descriptor. I meant Mongols more in the colloquial sense, meaning I was referring to Tengriist, horse and bow steppe nomads more so than Mongolians specifically. Not super accurate, I suppose. Maybe I'll change it.
The Great Wall is a joke created by the genocidal state construct of Zhongguo (China), an anathema to civilization that destroyed an Eden of civilization and innovation by ending the “warring states period” and continues to reign with genocidal oppression to this very day.

In 1204 it was still the grandest city in the West and in the afterglow of the Comemnos revivial. A city untouched by pillage. And it was Catholics who did it.

The correction being that Genghis Khan and Timur were not the same people, but relatives and rivals. Hulagu, as rightfully portrayed in video, belonged to Genghis Khan branch. Timur started his empire from Samarkand, Uzbekistan. However both Timurs and Genghis Khan empires collapsed after few hunders years of mismanagement.
Distant relatives...at best. More culturally related than direct bloodlines and Timur came a century and a half later.

Also Genghis Khan was Mongol and his army was not Muslim. Timur was Turco-Mongol and his army has serious percentence of Muslim soldiers. That’s why during Ankara war aganist Ottomans many Turkic Beylik changed side and supported Timur.
Timur was not from the Chinghissid bloodline hence why he couldn't take the royal title Khan, instead he was nominally an Emir (Prince) in service to his brother in law who in reality was Timur's prisoner and puppet.
@@haydar4611that was genious tactics of Timur, Tatars betrayed Bayezid during the battle, also, Mongols built a great spying network, Timur was as ruthless as mongols
The video provides a captivating exploration of a pivotal historical event, offering profound insights into the strategies and consequences of conquest.
This is probably one the bloodiest battles in history, especially considering it was fought 800 years ago and lasted for only 2 weeks.
It wasn't a battle, it was a massacre.
3rd bloodiest battle after battles of leningrad and stalingrad
The river Tigris flowed in red because Arabs and other defenders in Baghdad dagged the Mongols in the darkness of nights, throw the corps to the river, this led the Mongol Army leave the city in very short time.

I understand there were massacres of entire provinces that rebelled in chinese history. Tamerlane, a Mongol-Turkic offshoot of the Mongols killed multitudes also.
But for all out battles of fighting men: Verdun of WWI and Kurst of WWII were among the biggest and most deadly relative to dead soldiers. Kurst well over a million or more men on each side in frontal attacks using modern weapons resulting in a lot dead. In WWII the red army easily lost 6 million dead.
How was it a battle? The side that got massacred had already surrendered before the butchering started
This is why science, education, and information should be spreaded equally around the globe. The lost of Alexandria Library and the Baghdads House of Wisdom was nothing but disaster for humanity.

Hulagu Khan reasons were legit. The Caliph of Baghdad was a subordinate of Hulagu Khan. When Hulagu Khan campaigned against the Assassins/Hashashin, which he destroyed, the Caliph was asked to send reinforcements, as is the custom. The Caliph ignored the request. Hulagu Khan sent a letter giving the Caliph another chance, the Caliph brushed it off, and we know what happened next
when he sultan surrendered still he massacred the entire population, you cannot justify the killings of innocent people, no matter who did it and when.
@@solomaster8702 Not the entire pop, Christians were spared. From a modern perspective it's horrible. But when a city was sieged back then, it was unusual for a massacre not to occur. In the letter Hulagu Khan was quite explicit on what would happen if he did not come to his senses ...
"refrain from rancor and obstinacy, do not attempt what you cannot do, nor ignore what is manifest, for you will be sorry. In any case, let bygones be bygones." ... at the end of the letter ... "I will leave no one alive in your realm;
I will burn your city and your lands. If you wish to spare yourself and your venerable family, listen to my advice with the ear of intelligence. If you do not, you will see what God has willed." ...
A menacing letter was sent back, and 20,000 cavalry attacked the Mongols, which were defeated. Once battle commenced there would be no quarter given from the Mongols. They only gave you one chance for surrender, and the Caliph must have known that

imagine the logistical capabilities of moving armies & siege equipment from china to the middle east & eastern europe in 13th century. its mind blowing.
Lol they are not constructed yet. They will first come to their destination before they construct such equipment.
They had to live off the lands they conquered and use them to advance further, otherwise they couldn't have expanded so much.
Only the Mongols could pull this off by living off the land, typically even the Chinese Armies were limited by logistics, including troops and support these Armies numbered in the hundreds of thousands and you just couldn't supply Armies that vast long far from supply depots and foraging could strip areas baren fast.
They use U-Haul
First of all: siege equipment NEVER haul with the army but been built on place while army stand besieging the city from local land supplies.
Secondly: it is easy to cross such distances when you are on the raid that no one can stop and only have one option to get all their belongings and join the raid. That is why it was such a massive hords(whole regions on the way were dragged with their food and cattle stocks to be used in great raid.

They are not in heaven
@@user-ry6hs2vl8d We dont know
TBH, even after the sack of Baghdad, science kept on going elsewhere like in Cairo, where scientists and historians lived like Ibn Al Khaldun. In my opinion, the Islamic Golden Age began in 786(Harun Al Rashid became Abbasid caliph and funded science) to 1386(rise of ottomans and decline of science) I'm not saying the ottomans didn't have science but science declined because the amount of enemies the ottomans had on all sides and the Reconquista and fall of Al Andalus.
Didn't help that they banned the printing press 😭
Spain went around the world, while the Turks discovered nothing. LOL!
I plan to learn Turkish though. I know it's mostly due to geography that Turks were limited in discovering things. Morocco didn't let them enter the Atlantic.
They should have taken Mali and gone from the Niger river into Brazil.
@@scintillam_dei well the turks did discover quite alot tho
- brought coffee into europe
- tea
- cannons
- revolutionized war
- the first standing army in Europe
- Dardenelles Gun
- surgical tools for medicine
- the first steam powered kebab spit (instead of putting them in factories smh 🤦)
- they invented vaccinations
- the first military band in Europe was later used as inspiration for later musicians like Mozart and beethoven
- turkish baths
- built schools, hospitals and astronomical observatories
- the first world map was literally made by an ottoman cartographer named piri Reis
But yes I see your right that geography did contain them a little.
Although they were capable of colonizing the Americas but simply didn't due to periods of war and peace and since the ottomans were far too wealthy anyway trading directly with India and China didn't really need the poor colonies in the west.
@@maddogbasil Surgical instruments for medicine were invented by the Greeks and the Arabs added more of them.
and baths Inspired by Byzantine culture.
And the first map of the world drawn by the Arab scientist EL-Idrisi
And I don't remember anything about the Ottomans building schools. All they did was eliminate the scientific renaissance in the East by focusing on the military aspect.The Ottomans were not capable of colonization because Their navies were weaker than those of Spain and Portugal, which would not allow them to colonize.
@@maddogbasil Are you serious, baths, world maps, military bando, cannons, standing army all of these things invented before Ottomans. For instance, in Turkish textbooks it was claimed that cannons were used extensively in siege of Constantinople 1453 but at the same time France and British army also used cannons in their sieges. As for military bando, every army had military bando in history, for instance Timur also used military bando in Battle of Ankara 1402 against Bayezid I, similarly even Alexander 1800 years ago, used military bando. Military bando was common all over the world because it is very crucial in Battlefield. For Piri Reis's maps, Europeans drew hundreds of world maps before Piri Reis and Piri Reis said in his Kitab-ı Bahriye that He used 34 different European map to draw his own map.
Ottomans just like other big empires Persian and Roman Empires, invented little things comparison to their power. For instance, Ismail al-Jazari who is one of the greatest Scientist of Islamic World lived under small principality, Artuqid Dynasty in Anatolia, Ottomans couldn't raise Scientist like Ismail al-Jazari. They were simply overconfident and they thought that they can bring every inventions by calling engineers and scientists all over the world. What important thing Empire did for humankind is that Empires connected countries with roads, improving trade, established law, ensuring peace, as a result people under Empires became wealthier than people lived under smaller states.
All these people doesn't care about knowledge they came to India and destroyed Nalanda which was world's biggest library at the time tried to destroy our temples.

I read that Basque has many apparent cognates (simlar words) with Georgian, so I might learn Georgian, since Basque is the ancient language of my Iberian ancestors, preserved by Celts who wish they were racially distinct but whose true distinction is the languagethey adopted, for it isn't really theirs.
What does that teach us?
1.) It takes one power hungry belligerent warlord to destroy the fruits of many people's work
2.) If you want peace, be ready to fight heavy war. And be sure you are prepared and equipped for it
1. Arabs are much worse than Mongols. How did Arabs come into possession of such a large empire anyway? It wasn’t through diplomacy and peace. The Arab ‘golden age’ was nourished by the blood of the conquered. The Arabs destroyed many peoples work as they spread their vile religion by force.
What we learn from this is that what you do to others will I’m turn be done to you, if God is good.
2. If you want peace then pray to God you’re not next to an Arab or Muslim country because then you’ll never have peace.
The amount of knowledge this human society has lost since Carthage, Alexandria, Baghdad, etc. All those city holds great libraries filled with human intellect and recorded breakthrough is so much of a waste.
A shame the ruler of Bagdad disrespected the Mongols thus sacked Bagdad the Son of the prophet did this destruction upon himself.
5:00 Oh, man, that's the real life Iznogoud!
The barbarian kills and then leaves, he cannot stay to build a civilization or write a book, so history quickly overtook them.
Muslims did the same to hindus in vikramshila and nalanda
"We would already be able to start living in another universe unless the baghdad massacred happened!"
_____A Wise One
This was an assault on our collective knowledge and on humanity. The precious knowledge that was lost simultaneously saddens and infuriates me.
Should have surrendered lol
Dude, this happened 755 years ago.
@@noone2428 they did surrender.
@@noone2428 humanity ultimately surrendered. Thank you Mongols.
@@varhYT yes, and we'd likely be 755 years ahead in terms of knowledge had the library been spared. Look, I get it humans have killed one another for well over 5,000 years. However, destroying repositories of knowledge is inexcusable.
The House of Wisdom or the Great Library of Alexandria probably held the manuscript explaining how the Egyptians were actually able to build the pyramids
missing text or image at 1:44?
how tragic when you underestimate the troops who can read and writing, and first lost you know how good they are but thats too late
They say that if it wasn’t for this sacking, mankind would have gone to space 100years earlier
😂😂😂
And yet

hi
did you hit your head with something?😂😂
😂😂😂
I heard several academic talks from various parts of the world and from various religions. the destruction of the library of wisdom is a major disaster for the progress of civilization. they say that had events not led to the destruction of the textual repository of knowledge, human civilization would have probably attained 100 times more advanced astronomical knowledge by now.
This Guy is Pushing Sunni Propaganda. Muslims were not harmed in any way by the Mongols, The Mongols were peaceful people who the Sunnis Dared to Provoke. He also fails to mention Sunnis killed Mongol Envoy and sent its Severed head back to the Mongol Khan not to mention Sunnis Raiding Mongol Trade Convoys and looting and Raping and Killing Mongol Men, Women and Children. They paid for what they deserved and their King also suffered the same Consequences as Sunnis did to the Fatimid Shia Empire. The western propaganda of calling the loss of Sunnis as a loss of Muslim World is completely wrong. In Fact the Mongols liberated many of the Oppressed Religious Communities by the Sunni Tyrants ruling them. The Fall of Baghdad should be celebrated as Liberation of Baghdad from Sunni Tyrants and thanks to the Mongols today 80% of Baghdad is inhabited by Muslim who follow the True path of Islam of Prophet Mohammad and his Successor Hazrat Ali. This old Tactic of Sunni Playing Victim Card. People will call Mongols as Barbarians but won't call Salahuddin who destroyed the History City of Cairo and killed it's Inhabitants and Burnt the University of Cairo as Barbarian. He Forced them to convert to Religion of Abu Bakr and Umar and Massacred who refused. The First University in the world was built by Shias in Cairo and Sunni Tyrant Salahuddin Burnt it and to this day Sunnis still use it to spread their ideology today it's called Al Azhar University. This just shows the Hypocrisy of the Intellectuals who favour Sunni Narrative and their false propaganda over Truth and Reality.. .

Really worst than 200 years crusades, but forgotten. Nowadays only crusades prevail.
