| Summary: | Much has been written and will be written about the fall of the Abbasid Caliphate and about the Mongol’s occupation of Baghdad, as this event has dangerous effects on Islamic-Arab history on the one hand and on world history on the other hand, and despite the importance of this event, it has not been studied in sufficient detail so far on the abundance of what is available We have preliminary information about him. The weakness and fall of the Abbasid state was not the result of his time or the result of the Tatar invasion alone. But the weakness of this caliphate was far from historical roots, and some of the caliphs made praiseworthy efforts in order to strengthen the entity of the Abbasid Caliphate, such as Al-Nasir al-Din Allah, 055 - 12, he and his grandson Al-Mustansir 190 - 640. To bring life to the shattered bonds of this state, as internal disputes between religious sects were ravaging them internally, and their external control over the rest of the shattered Islamic world - was only nominal. The concern of the Muslim princes was to obtain tradition from the caliph in exchange for the name of the caliph being mentioned in the sermon and in the track, indicating their subordination to him only outwardly, and their obtaining the tradition was in order to prove the legitimacy of their rule in the eyes of their subjects. <br />And the continuous internal unrest in Baghdad had exhausted the powers of the state and worried them, and directed the caliphs' attention to the inside rather than directing their attention abroad, which made its collapse inevitable. And the next article will not address the causes of the fall of the caliphate, as the author has dealt with this subject in detail in an independent study that will be printed soon, but will focus on the war operations that the Mongols carried out in order to occupy Baghdad. And a study of the Mongolian military strategy and the arts of mobilization for them. |
