The Siege of Diaoyuchen is highly underrated and deserve an episode. The fortress was an massive fortress city, perhaps the largest in the world at the time. It was located at the confluence of three rivers and held thousands of troops with their own gunpowder weapon arsenals. They held out for over 30 years. When they surrendered the three commanders offered terms that they would commit suicide and their men would be spared. The Mongols respected their decision. It was one of the few times the Mongols didn’t massacre the defenders.

I thought the Mongols, like just about everybody else at the time, had a rule about only massacring the defenders if forced to storm the city, because urban warfare _suuucks._ Also, it makes the city worth less. Not that I know enough about Diaoyuchen to know whether the Mongols stormed the city before surrender, just that that's not the way to bet with the information presented here.

Interesting, thank you for bringing this theory. Though I know that Samalas' impact was global, but I never thought that it might also contributed to the collapse of the Mongol Empire. Regionally, the eruption also weakened the Bedahulu Kingdom in Bali, where most of its populations perished, allowing the neighboring Singhasari to conquer the island later in 1284. Anyway, this also reminds me of a similar theory on how Tambora's 1815 eruption might play role in the fall of Napoleon's empire. You might want to check that out, if you haven't.

This made me look into the end of Chola Dynasty (A Tamil empire which ruled over Southern India and vast regions of SE Asia 850-1279 A.D.) as the period is suspiciously close to that of 1257 Samalas eruption and although famine was widely reported during that period, the end of Chola dynasty was attributed to victory by rival Pandian Dynasty in wars. We know from other regions of the world during this period that the famines & wars were interlinked.

One thing to note is that the famines experienced across Europe and Asia have a myriad of causes and vary on the specific area, but a major reason for those of Eurasia and Asia was due to the cumulative death count of the Mongols from Genghis to Ogedai. The pax Mongolia did make silk road trade more efficient, but at the same time the Mongols habit of slaughtering people, livestock and destroying crops shouldn't be overlooked. Moreover, the tendency for land based empires to become over extended and subsequently collapse into separate entities is a pretty common occurrence in history. A centralized state especially with unclear lines of succession on top of incredibly vast distances and massive diverse populations to govern is difficult if not impossible to maintain for long without some decentralization.

It is encouraging that theories such as these that modify history are included in the historical narrative. As mentioned, environmental factors are a major consideration of the military, and has been so important for exactly the reasons discussed here. It is not just the tactical climate examined in detail, but the strategic weather which could affect long range planning, and must be so detailed for by succeeding generations of generals and their commanders.
