Hulagu Khan of the Mongols defeated Abbasid Caliph Al-Musta'sim in 1258 in Baghdad. He completely conquered the Abbassid Empire and made sure to raze every city to the ground that gave him one iota of resistance.

There were 11 dynasties, from the First (Amorite 1830- BCE) to the 10th (Assyrian 729- BCE) and the 11th (Chaldean 626- BCE) before Persia incorporated it into its empire in 539 BCE.
Inevitable means that there is no possible way that it could have been avoided. As evidenced by the Mamluk victory over the Mongols at the Battle of Ain Jalut, it was possible to defeat the Mongols, so there may have been a way to prevent the Mongol razing of Baghdad in 1258. However, given that: (1) the Abbassid Caliphate (which controlled Baghdad) had been in a state of decay for nearly 200 years, (2) the ascendancy of the Mongol Empire and its near invulnerability, (3) the animosity between the empires of the Islamic World whose union would be necessary to hold off the Mongols, and (4) and the inability of Baghdad to withstand a long-term siege, it would seem that the fall of Baghdad at that time was a highly likely event.

The burning of Baghdad effectively ended the Abbassid Empire and confirmed what most Muslims had already suspected for generations, which was that the idea of a unified Islamic World would remain an object of the past.
No, Baghdad was not burned down by the Seljuks. The Seljuks did capture Baghdad in 1055 and weakened the Abbasid Caliphate, but they did not completely end the Arab empire. The Arab empire continued to exist, albeit in a weakened state, until the Mongol invasion in 1258.

Well, Baghdad has been an Islamic city for the better part of the last1400 years or so. Due to this, there have been many an Islamic government there. The most significant of these is the Abassid Empire (750-1258 AD), which ruled in Baghdad. They also came under the control of the Mamluks, the Ottoman Turks and, before the Abassids, the Omayyads and the Rasidun.
