The Mongol Destruction of Baghdad

Check out Past Present Future here! • The Past, Present, and...
---------
The most devastating Mongol attack in history. After demolishing the Order of Assassins, Hulagu Khan leads an enormous Mongol army against the great city of Baghdad. The Abbasid caliph has angered the Mongols, and his people will suffer for it. Few will survive the wrath of the Khan. A huge thank you to@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory for all the guidance on this one!

We hear that all of the time.

Also many others small castles of 3 tyoes and sizes around the city and watch towers tiny casles too. The walls height doesn't count the wall towers. Not to mention the city can house 1M easily and it had 2M people at the time. Usually it has 1.5M . Also it has inner farms and a massive ruler guardian and date trees. It has the river going in the middle and it has wels too. It has a massive storage of tools and water. It is an impossible city to conquer more than Constantinople. Vast majority of the people knows how to fight even the women and can do archery. They have access to massive amounts of poison. They are very rich.

WW2 was horrible yes, but that’s a fresh memory and it played out over half a decade. I can’t imagine the terror it inspired in everyone else who knew of the city as it once was all those years ago.

The rest are others and Chinese. People thought they are alot as they counted including the woman plus they didn't know for each Mongolia soldier they have 3-5 horses other than the one that the mongle solder is useing. Also, you did alot of cuts. The havey cavalry of the city where not 12k but 20-24k , 10k of whom are nobles. They also managed to push away them for a hole day. It is in the second day they got cocky and went far from the walls then got attacked useing the river. Also the main army was out of the city ,numbered 50k on a training mission 100km away from Baghdad. You also forgot to mention the city has walls not just high and strong. It is much more than that. We hear that all of the time.

Then circler city core the original city bulid. 50m+ high and 12m-15m thick with 3 circles. Then a massive fortress then a gaint place casle then the havely fortified throne room that has a trap capable quite thin deep runway to get to of 2 doors gaint gates of steel in layered fashion. That runway is easily a death trap. Within the city there is few gaint fortresses that makes Europe cadles like tents with much higher walls. Also many others small castles of 3 tyoes and sizes around the city and watch towers tiny casles too. The walls height doesn't count the wall towers. Not to mention the city can house 1M easily and it had 2M people at the time. Usually it has 1.5M . Also it has inner farms and a massive ruler guardian and date trees. It has the river going in the middle and it has wels too. It has a massive storage of tools and water. It is an impossible city to conquer more than Constantinople. Vast majority of the people knows how to fight even the women and can do archery. They have access to massive amounts of poison. They are very rich.

There is a 10 casles arrangement defense system fromeach side that designed in a way where if after you attack the first you would be exposed to 3 others. Each had 2k-5k soldiers.

    Hulagu Khan's ominous letter to Al-Musta'sim: "At the time of the conquest of the castles of the Heretics, we sent envoys to you seeking for reinforcements. You replied that you were our subordinate, yet you did not send troops. The sign of subordination and concord is that you send troops when we campaign against the enemy, but you did not do so and sent only excuses. Even though your family is august and venerable and your house has experienced rule and fortune, yet Could the moon have shone so brightly That it eclipsed the blazing sun. Surely you have heard from both high and low what has befallen the world and its inhabitants from the time of Chinggis Khan up to now, and what humiliation was visited upon great houses such as the Khvarazmshahs, the Saljuqs, the kings of Daylam, the Atabaks, and others through the power of the Everlasting Eternal God. The gates of Baghdad were never closed to any one of those groups, and they all had seats of power there. With all our strength and might, how can they be closed to us? Previously we have advised you, and we do so again now: 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. Now, destroy your ramparts and fill in your moats; entrust the rule to your son, and come to us in person. Should you not wish to come yourself, send the Minister, Sulayman Shah, and the Marshal-all three-so that they might deliver our message to you verbatim. Indeed, when our order is obeyed, it will not be necessary to exact retribution and your shall retain your land, army, and subjects. If you do not heed our advice and intend to oppose and resist us, ready your army and choose the battlefield, for we are prepared and girded for battle. When I lead my army against Baghdad in fury, whether you hide in the heavens or on earth I will bring you down from the spinning spheres; I will toss you in the air like a lion. 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"

He is still haunted by those memories to this very day. How we as humans can be so utterly inhumane to one another over matters of race, religion and politics is beyond me? Fi Aman Allah

    Great story and great animations. I have always wondered what the Sacking of Baghdad would have looked like. Stories from people recording during that time described the aftermath as literally "hell on earth." Imagine how bad it must have been if Hulagu himself had to leave the city because of the stench. That man has been in countless battles and death and destruction himself and even this time it made him feel sick.

As for being stable...the current post-Cold War order has lasted less than the length of a human life time. In fact it has been less than half a century since the Pax Americana began. If it lasts for a full century then we can talk stability. Until then one can argue that we are living in a short calm period.
