The Mongols invaded many areas throughout the world, burning cities to the ground, destroying dams, and reducing farming villages to mass starvation. They eventually seized Persia and Mesopotamia, bringing to an end the Abbasid caliphate, the predominant Arab-led civilization. The Mongol leader, Hulegu, had such a strong hatred of the Abbassids for resisting his advances that when his forces captured Baghdad, the chief Arab city at that time, he razed the entire place to the ground, including schools, libraries, mosques, and palaces.

The destruction of the Abbassids signaled the end of Arab independence (outside of Arabia) until the 20th century and the rise of the Turkic Empires in the Arab World. The Arabs failed, from that point forward, to make the kind of scientific, mathematical, literary, and technological advances that characterized the Islamic Golden Age.

Is Baghdad burned down now by the Seljuks and ended the Arab empire?

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.


What causes the official end of the Arab empire?

The official end of the Arab Empire is often attributed to the Mongol invasions in the 13th century, particularly the sack of Baghdad in 1258, which marked a significant decline in Islamic political power. Additionally, the rise of the Ottoman Empire in the 14th century, which gradually absorbed various Arab territories, further diminished the influence of the Arab caliphates. Internal strife, fragmentation, and the emergence of regional powers also contributed to the disintegration of the unified Arab political structure.
