| - Mongolian expansion in world led to destruction, terror and suffering of dozens millions people in Eurasia. Mongolian army, however, was divided, northern Golden Horde was Islamic affiliated, southern Il Khanate was pro-Catholic Nestorian Christians. Persian population was exterminated by Mongolians. Also, Mongolian army of Il Khanate was infected by plague, so-called Black Death. However, victory in Baghdad prevented spreading Black Death to Middle East and Europe. Attack against Baghdad would be triumphal victory of Mongolian Il Khanate and had to enforce Il Khanate alliance with Templars, traitors, Armenians, Georgians and Antiochi against Islam and Jews. The most valuable parts of second largest city in world in that time, Grand Library of Baghdad had to be destroy by Mongolians. According captured documents from Hulagu Khan commanding post, all mosque, libraries, public baths, schools and hospitals would be destroy if Mongols won over Arabs and also, he ordered to execute at least 150,000 civilians and poison water canals and local farmer lands to spread famine. Abbasid Caliph and Ayyubid sultan underestimated power of Mongols and overestimated their own armed forces. Bad trained local militia, new recruits and only very few well equipped and trained Mamluks and veterans could not stop Mongolian destructive offensive.
