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.
