The Mongols invaded much of the known world in the early thirteenth century. They were destructive in their conquests, 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 Mongol leader, Hülegü, had such a strong hatred of Islam that when his forces captured Baghdad, he decided to destroy the city. Schools, libraries, mosques, and palaces were burned to the ground. As a result, the new center of Muslim civilization became Cairo, in Egypt. Over time, Mongol rulers converted to Islam and began to rebuild the cities. However, the old Muslim Empire had come to an end.

Yes.

The challengers who would ultimately bring an end to the Islamic Empire came not from Europe, but from Central Asia. In the early 1200s, a Mongol leader named Genghis Khan and his descendants conquered most of China, Russia, Iran, Anatolia, and Iraq. Genghis Khan began his raids into Islamic territory in 1219. He established himself in what is now Uzbekistan and worked his way south into northern Persia. In 1256, Genghis Khan's grandson, Hulagu, continued farther through Persia, destroying Assassin groups along the way and moving into Iraq.

The Mongol conquests were extremely destructive. Cities and their residents were wiped out and irrigation projects were destroyed, which ruined the farming of the region. In 1258, Hulagu entered Baghdad himself. There, the Mongol soldiers massacred thousands of people and the caliph's palace was destroyed. The caliph, his family, and his officials were also killed. By 1260, most of the Islamic east was under Mongol control and the Islamic Empire was no more. However, the Muslim influence continued, under the Ottoman Turks who founded an empire, but it was also destroyed later on.

The Mongol Conquest of the Islamic World ended the historic hegemony that Arabs had had in the Islamic World and provided for the rise of the Turks as the dominant power in the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, and South Asia and the rise of the Persians in Iran.
