a set of artillery and other equipment for a siege, together with troops and transport vehicles.
The siege of Leningrad last approximately 1000 days. The end result of this was the murder of over 1,000,000 civilians. Most died of starvation and disease. Most of the city was destroyed by the Luftwaffe and by constant shelling by the German and Finnish armies. Lake Lagoda was the only way to get supplies to the city especially in the winter when the lake froze over. It wasn't until 1944 that the siege was finally lifted. It would be years of rebuilding before the city really came back to life! Fortunately, much of the architecture splendour of the city survived like the Winter Palace and the Hermitage Museum.

The Mongol Empire guarded roads carefully to promote trade throughout its territory. The Islamic Golden Age ended.
The House of Wisdom was a multi-faceted institute created Baghdad, Iraq founded by Harun al-Rashid. It was a major center of intellectualism at the height of the Islamic Golden Age in the 9th to 13th centuries, acting as a school, a place of translation and a library that housed one of the largest holds of books in the world. It was unfortunately destroyed during the Mongol Siege of Baghdad in 1258.
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.
Calvary Charges Siege warfare
Effect of the Siege of Leningrad on the city happened in 1941.
Many of the Mongols converted to Islam. They intermarried with the local people. Over time, the Mongols rebuilt the cities they destroyed during the invasion. In order to capture Baghdad, the Mongols laid a brutal siege upon the city in 1258. Additionally, the Mongols as a political force were expelled from Baghdad in 1341. The Mongols as an ethnic group were never a large population, this meant that after the fall of the Mongol political unit that they were quickly overcome by intermarriage and disappeared ethnically after the mid-1400s.
Al-Ma'mun was an Abbasid caliph. He reigned from 813 until 833.He was born born in Baghdad, on the 15th September 786 and succeeded his brother, al-Amin, who was killed during the siege of Baghdad in 813.More information can be found here (click).
It is unclear what an "attacker" is. If it refers to the armies trained by the Abbassids, then the Mamluks (Türkic Slave Armies) and the traditional Islamic Armies are the "attackers". If it refers to those empires which opposed the Abbassids militarily and offensively, they incude: the Spanish Umayyads, the Idrissids, the Aghlabids, the Fatimids, the Tahirids, the Samanids, and the Mongols (who finally finished off the Abbassid Caliphate with the Siege and Massacre of Baghdad in 1256).
They used siege warfare...no food or supplies enters the city Also used pretend retreat... they would pretend to retreat and when the city left it guard down and came out to loot the mongol camp the mongol would come back and kill everyone.
The Netherlands was subject to a siege, however, it had an ample supply of crops and other supplies to delay any surrender to a siege. A sieging army might take up to two months to effect a surrender from its target. Despite developments in sieges there was always the problem of having enough troops that were required to implement an effective siege. Then there was always the danger of having to protect itself from an army of relief.
actually it had a major downfall, major city-states became weeker and athens was'nt as strong anymore.
