As of 2024, the Teutonic Order (which is now a Catholic religious order) and the Knight Hospitaller (as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta) still exist, with Knight Hospitaller having their current headquarters in Rome, and Teutonic Order having their current headquarters in Vienna.
Basically, there would not have been wars between the Arabs and the Europeans had it not been for the intervention of a third party that attacked the Christian convoys, namely the Turks. They caused a long-term war between the Arabs and the Europeans, even though the Arabs did not attack the convoys, but rather the Turks. After that, the Turks weakened until the establishment of the Ottoman Empire, and the Arabs endured wars that they did not cause, so there was Freedom of expression between Christianity, Islam and Judaism without killing or bloodshed until the Seljuk Turks took Jerusalem and attacked the Christians. As a Middle Eastern Arab, I see that the war could have ended from the beginning if the Europeans agreed with the caliphate in Egypt in an alliance to defeat the Seljuk Turks and freedom of religion was restored. All three are as they were before the Turks arrived in Jerusalem. Basically, Saladin would not have attacked the Crusaders had they not attacked the Arab caravans heading to Mecca and Medina. Surely what mattered to you at that time was Jerusalem. What was the reason for the persecution of the Arabs and the Turks who persecuted the Christians and not the Arabs? What was the reason for attacking Mecca and Medina while they were under Arab rule? I am not saying that we, as Arabs, are currently afraid of Europe, but I am certain that if the Arabs of the Middle East and the Arabs of the southern Mediterranean united again, they would defeat the Europeans again, but now they are divided according to the Sykes-Picot Agreement and have occupied one of the Arab countries, which is Palestine. In fact, you can see that Britain increased the immigration of the British to Northern Ireland, so that the number of the British there increased, and they said their corrupt doctrine of freedom of opinion and choosing a ruler, and they divided Ireland in their favor. This also happened in Palestine, and they increased the immigration of Jews to Palestine and supported them with weapons, even though there was religious freedom for the three religions at that time, but there was not. Enmity between the Arabs and the Zionists at that time, until after they committed many massacres, such as the Deir Yassin massacre, to achieve their independence. It was the creation of a state based on blood, massacres, and crime, as happened to the Irish and they divided it into Northern Ireland and Ireland. Therefore, you will see more people who see the injustice to which the Palestinians were exposed, more even than the Arabs themselves, and they see what filth it is. The West does it for their benefit only. The United Nations and the League of Nations are games to achieve special interests for certain countries. Those who wanted the division of Ireland were not Irish, and those who wanted the division of Palestine were not Palestinians. Everyone knows that the League of Nations and the United Nations are tools to enhance the control and power of a particular country over the world and not as their noble goal and slogan.I know that I have written a lot, but there may be confusing information in the media that has reached any of you, and I will be happy to reveal the truth about the real crimes that many countries hide.I am sure that you benefited from information that you did not know

Really loved this video. I had a vague idea about there being several crusades over the 11th/12th centuries, but not the context. The moving maps made it all make sense, even if I did need to stop and rewind a couple times to take it all in!

Great video. Only problem I noticed is The Aral Sea is at its current water level. The Aral Sea wouldn't lose that much water until The Soviet Union. This can be seen at 0:13
Correction, while there were Shia dynasties, most of Iran was not Shia during the Seljuk expansion but Sunni. Shiaism became the dominant religion only with the Safavids in the 16th century.

12th crusade: The British Allenby takes Jerusalem in 1918 and his king establishes for himself a puppet Jewish state in it in 1948 and defends it with his alleys. 13th Crusade: The American Army the hier of Britain intervenes in a war between Iraq (the biggest enemy of its puppet) and Gulf states and it takes Baghdad in 2003. 14th Crusade (Happening): The American army intervenes in a war between their puppet and Muslims to save its agents leaving its nationalists fighting alone the Muslims facing their destiny and it loses Jerusalem due to that.
You conveniently omitted that the Muslims conquered the Levant (and Jerusalem) from the Byzantine Empire. And the reason why Alexios I Komnenos requested help from the Latin Christians was not just to assist with the reconquest of Anatolia from the Seljuk's but also the Holy Land. Therefore, the Crusades were a reconquest of invaded lands.
Although religiously you're right. It would be more accurate to say the latin crusaders conquered the greek byzantines former lands. Christianity had been in schism by about 50 years when the Latin knights considered Jerusalem.
@@alexboyer9337yes and no. Later crusades, you would be correct, but the earliest crusade happened specifically because the Byzantine emperor requested aid.
@@baumholderh8425 Good point, but you can only say reconquered if you consider Christendom (both Latin and Greek) united at that point. Which it wasn't, the schism had happened 50 years before, and Alexios did little of the fighting.
You guys act like there are reasons for wars... The reasons are simple, each country at that time wanted to take as much land and resources and slaves as they could get. That's it. The rest are excuses.
This video starts in a wrong way. The reconquest of Christian Byzantine lands, which Jerusalem was part of it, was the main reason of the Crusades. The fact that you've left this important part out of the video seems like propaganda.
I partly agree with you. It was a reconquest for Christianity. However eastern and western Christianity had been in schism for 50 years. This means calling it a reconquest is slightly inaccurate. They were two different political and religious entities.
"The reconquest of Christian Byzantine lands, which Jerusalem was part of it, was the main reason of the Crusades." When did this happen chronologically? Can you give us any links for that? Thanks!
@@GeorgeLarryMIBU that is also wrong, conquest started from Medina Actually,the first major city to be conquered was macca The original powerbase was in Medina as they were in exile from macca early on
No more crusades after 1272 because of Ottomans. When they have started to conquer Balkans, the priority was shifted from far to more closer lands. After WWI and the collapse of Ottoman Empire, the priority was restored then the birth of Israel.
Nobody wants to be in a Muslim rule. Forcing people to convert to Islam or forcing them to the pay jizya or die. Is not the way to live in "peace.." bro. Treating people as second-class citizens known as "Dhimmi" because they are (non Muslims) is not living in "peace.." bro. Jerusalem is wayy better now under Jewish people control. People now can live in peace in Israel and worship and follow any religion they want under Jewish people, Jerusalem is for Israeli Jewish people. It's historically for the Jews. It would be better if you keep your religion to yourself that's it.
Interesting thing of note, the First Crusade was nearly defeated more than once and almost turned back several times. Video kinda glosses over it, but Antioch was basically a disaster. They barely managed to take the city, then fought over who would get to rule it for months, all the while epidemics and starvation ravaged the armies. Had any actual aid come to Antioch from Muslim powers, the First Crusade would've been wiped out. At the end of the day, they really only went for Jerusalem because it was nearby. Think of it like, "we're halfway there, lets just get it over with," more than a, "storm the gates, take back the Holy City!"
While the Baltic Crusades are kinda unrelated so I think it is ok that they arent part of the video, the Turkish/North African Crusades (Syrma, Alexandria, Mahdia, Nikopolis, Varna) are missing in my opinion though, because they are the direct continuation of the 9 crusades.
I think this video kinda misleading a bit. Seljuks did not persecute christian before the crusade, there were some raises taxes for non Moslem, but there is no evidence of persecution like what Catholic church propaganda tell to their people. Mostly the crusade is driven by the Byzantine empire goals to recapture its teritory and Catholic church euphoria when they realized that they can be a hero in Christian world. Actually the tensions between Islam and Christian start to escalated quickly during the crusade and the relationship between the two will never recovered until today.
1:31 Crusades were ordered in Clermont Ferrand but were launched in Le Puy en Velay as the crusaders assembled in Le Puy en Velay and started the journey. Adhémar was ordered by the pope to be the papal legate and spiritual leader of the Crusade. During the year 1096, Adhémar made donations, collected the sums necessary for the expedition and developed with Raymond de Saint-Gilles the arrangements for the regrouping of the Provençal army. Adhémar de Monteil was the bishop of my birth city Puy en Velay beautiful city with a thousand steps Church on top of Aiguille rock named this because its like a natural skyscrapers going up we also have on top of the next hill a massive statue of Sainte Notre Dame de France watching over the city above our Cathédrale Notre-Dame-du-Puy with all these monuments classed as humanity patrimony, UNESCO World Heritage have a look at it it's a very beautiful small city.
5:43 I'm not Italian but I think it's pronounced jeh-noa As it's shown on the last minute of the video, two crusader factions coexisted with the United States.
Turks indeed had a decisive role in triggering historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, shaping the history of Balkans, Islamization of Northern India, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Roman Empire.
@@fish5671 The Mamluk Sultanate was founded by Turks and the aristocracy had even a sophisticated language of their own called Mamluk Kipchak. The first period of the Sultanate was Turkic (Bahri) dominated while the latter period was ruled largely by Circassians (Burji)
And it ends with Lebanon becoming a noun. Lebanonisation; a country being destroyed by factions of islam fighting the original population of a country and each other.
CORRECTION: Alexios did support, feed and transfer the first crusade but reports Antioch's siege had failed cancelled his reinforcements. This was embellished into "the Romans didn't help" in order to justify keeping the conquered Holding. Also, the Fouth Crusade was widley condemned, even in the west and resulted in the collapse of reinforcements and crusader enthusiasm.
@CpTnot the latins were expelled from the merchant quarters in 1171 which was a huge hit in relations. The Massacre of the Latins is a myth which is never cited in Western sources and was fabricated by an inhabitant of Thesaloniki who wanted to write a revenge tale for the Norman sack he endured. The Catholic Church has formally apologised and was condemned by all except this band of Crusaders. They were forgiven because timed were tough and needed to move on but this destroyed the Roman Empire and doomed it to the Ottomans.
A Templar knight who fought in the Seventh Crusade lamented: Rage and sorrow are seated in my heart...so firmly that I scarce dare to stay alive. It seems that God wishes to support the Turks to our loss...ah, lord God...alas, the realm of the East has lost so much that it will never be able to rise up again. They will make a Mosque of Holy Mary's convent, and since the theft pleases her Son, who should weep at this, we are forced to comply as well...Anyone who wishes to fight the Turks is mad, for Jesus Christ does not fight them any more. They have conquered, they will conquer. For every day they drive us down, knowing that God, who was awake, sleeps now, and Muhammad waxes powerful.
The Mamluks were among the very few enemies to defeat the Mongols in combat, and they were never conquered. The Mamluk institution had appeared in Islamic civilization in the eighth century as the Caliphs sought to create a military force that was loyal only to the Caliph and not to regional, tribal, or another personal ties. Most Mamluks were of Turkic origin, primarily because the Turks were viewed as better, or at least more natural, warriors than Persians and Arabs. Turks of nomadic origins possessed riding and archery skills from an early age, so that after purchasing them as slaves one only had to refine those skills. The Mamluks therefore became perhaps the most highly trained warriors in the medieval world. They seized power in Egypt in 1250 during the ill-fated Crusade of Louis IX (Saint Louis) and created a Sultanate that dominated Egypt and then Syria until the sixteenth century. The Mongol Art War, p.109
Most of the armies are Arab. The ones who most defended and paid dear prices for the sake of Islam are the Arabs. Our Turkish brothers fought to raise the banner of Islam. There is no doubt about that, but do not forget the virtue of your Arab brothers.
No ethno-linguistic group dealt with Crusades more than the Turkic peoples did. Turks dealt with Crusades for 600 years both in the form of actual Crusades or Holy Leagues. There are around more than 12 Crusades & Holy Leagues directed at Turks.
@@wasif2881 no one is sure, not even the Ayyubids themselves were sure about their origins. An Ayyubid prince claimed that they are a Kurdish tribe that lived in Armenia, another rivalling Ayyubid prince claimed that they were Kurdicised Umayyads (Arabs).
You could have also mentioned the fact that Crusader state governments were completely dominated by French immigrants. The Arabic word for white-skinned Western Europeans is Firangi, which in turn derived from the word Frank, as France was still xalled East Francia & the French still called themselves as Franks at that time. And that the French Catholics horribly mistreated the other non-Catholic Christian deniminations (Greeks & Arabs following Eastern Orthodox church, Syrians following the Miaphysite Syriac Church, Assyrians following the Nestorian Church, Armenians following the Armenian Apostolic Church). The persecution of non-Catholics by French Catholic foreign immigrants was the reason the Crusader staes didn't last long.

How it could have been successful: - Christians should have been reasonably united - concentrate on Asia Minor to drive out the Turks - for this purpose enter into an alliance with the Greeks, Byzantines and Armenians - the Holy Land, like Israel today, lacks the strategic depth to be held - therefore, Byzantium must maintain good relations with Egypt - Egypt takes over the holy land, but assures Christians free pilgrimage and religious practice - once Asia Minor has been conquered, Byzantium and Egypt can fend off all attackers from the east together
Yes it was the squabbles between Christians that saved the muzzs, would have been destroyed otherwise and a major problem today would have been gone. Add too that the European kings didnt take up the offer with Hulagu who wanted to wipe them out. Never mind they will be destroyed in upcoming war.

*Correction: History of the Holyland Crusades. This video does not cover the Northern crusades besides a brief mention at the end nor the Northern crusader states' downfall
It was Turkish military slaves, the Mamluks, coming from the Eurasian steppes, who were successful in stemming the deadly Mongol danger. Complete political, military, and, last but not least, economic power passed into the hands of this new Turkish ruling caste that regenerated itself anew each generation from the outside. It was seen as a sign of particular divine grace and providence that Turks had contained the Mongol avalanche. Turks knew the fighting techniques of their Mongol "cousins" from their common homeland in the steppes of Central Asia. The contemporary Syrian chronicler Abū Shāma rejoiced after the crucial battle of Ayn Jälūt in saying: "It is verily remarkable that the Tatars were broken and destroyed by their own kinsmen, the Turks." Paying his respect to the victorious sultan of Egypt, he continues in a couplet: The Tatars conquered the lands and there came to them From Egypt a Turk, unmindful of his life. In Syria he destroyed and scattered them. To everything there is a bane of its own kind. And the triumph of the Turks was compounded by the final expulsion of the Crusaders from the Holy Land; one should notice the wording of a panegyric for Sultan al-Ashraf Khalil after he had conquered, in 690/1291, Acre, the last Crusader stronghold: Praise be to God, the nation of the Cross has fallen; Through the Turks the religion of the chosen Arabs has triumphed. The Crusaders had allied themselves to the abominable Mongols, the "vile foe," and had constituted a constant humiliation to Islam for almost 200 years. These exploits immensely enhanced the religious prestige of the Mamluks. The popula- tion of Egypt and Syria gratefully acknowledged their achievements. The folk novel of al-Malik al-Zahir Baybars gives abundant testimony to the general feeling of owing the Mamluks, that is, the Turks, thanks for saving them from an imminent catastrophe.

12th crusade: The British Allenby takes Jerusalem in 1918 and his king establishes for himself a puppet Jewish state in it in 1948 and defends it with his alleys.
13th Crusade: The American Army the hier of Britain intervenes in a war between Iraq (the biggest enemy of its puppet) and Gulf states and it takes Baghdad in 2003.
14th Crusade (Happening): The American army intervenes in a war between their puppet and Muslims to save its agents leaving its nationalists fighting alone the Muslims facing their destiny and it loses Jerusalem due to that.
"They did many Crusades, some of which almost didn't fail." - Bill Wurz
You conveniently omitted that the Muslims conquered the Levant (and Jerusalem) from the Byzantine Empire.
And the reason why Alexios I Komnenos requested help from the Latin Christians was not just to assist with the reconquest of Anatolia from the Seljuk's but also the Holy Land.
Therefore, the Crusades were a reconquest of invaded lands.
It seems like they've left that information on purpose.
The reconquest of Christian lands was the main focus of the Crusaders.
Although religiously you're right. It would be more accurate to say the latin crusaders conquered the greek byzantines former lands. Christianity had been in schism by about 50 years when the Latin knights considered Jerusalem.
@@alexboyer9337yes and no. Later crusades, you would be correct, but the earliest crusade happened specifically because the Byzantine emperor requested aid.
@@baumholderh8425 Good point, but you can only say reconquered if you consider Christendom (both Latin and Greek) united at that point. Which it wasn't, the schism had happened 50 years before, and Alexios did little of the fighting.
You guys act like there are reasons for wars... The reasons are simple, each country at that time wanted to take as much land and resources and slaves as they could get. That's it. The rest are excuses.
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!
Great stuff
This video starts in a wrong way.
The reconquest of Christian Byzantine lands, which Jerusalem was part of it, was the main reason of the Crusades.
The fact that you've left this important part out of the video seems like propaganda.
Well it's typical of the decadent and rotting secular West. Lying about History to make their fantasies believable.
Or you have been sold propaganda it was like 800 years ago when 5 people could read and they re wrote history
I partly agree with you. It was a reconquest for Christianity. However eastern and western Christianity had been in schism for 50 years. This means calling it a reconquest is slightly inaccurate. They were two different political and religious entities.
I did NOT know this
"The reconquest of Christian Byzantine lands, which Jerusalem was part of it, was the main reason of the Crusades." When did this happen chronologically? Can you give us any links for that?
Thanks!

No more crusades after 1272 because of Ottomans. When they have started to conquer Balkans, the priority was shifted from far to more closer lands.
After WWI and the collapse of Ottoman Empire, the priority was restored then the birth of Israel.
Jerusalem was in peace when there was Muslim rules! 🕊️
Nobody wants to be in a Muslim rule. Forcing people to convert to Islam or forcing them to the pay jizya or die. Is not the way to live in "peace.." bro. Treating people as second-class citizens known as "Dhimmi" because they are (non Muslims) is not living in "peace.." bro. Jerusalem is wayy better now under Jewish people control. People now can live in peace in Israel and worship and follow any religion they want under Jewish people, Jerusalem is for Israeli Jewish people. It's historically for the Jews. It would be better if you keep your religion to yourself that's it.
Interesting thing of note, the First Crusade was nearly defeated more than once and almost turned back several times. Video kinda glosses over it, but Antioch was basically a disaster. They barely managed to take the city, then fought over who would get to rule it for months, all the while epidemics and starvation ravaged the armies. Had any actual aid come to Antioch from Muslim powers, the First Crusade would've been wiped out.
At the end of the day, they really only went for Jerusalem because it was nearby. Think of it like, "we're halfway there, lets just get it over with," more than a, "storm the gates, take back the Holy City!"

While the Baltic Crusades are kinda unrelated so I think it is ok that they arent part of the video, the Turkish/North African Crusades (Syrma, Alexandria, Mahdia, Nikopolis, Varna) are missing in my opinion though, because they are the direct continuation of the 9 crusades.
I think this video kinda misleading a bit. Seljuks did not persecute christian before the crusade, there were some raises taxes for non Moslem, but there is no evidence of persecution like what Catholic church propaganda tell to their people. Mostly the crusade is driven by the Byzantine empire goals to recapture its teritory and Catholic church euphoria when they realized that they can be a hero in Christian world. Actually the tensions between Islam and Christian start to escalated quickly during the crusade and the relationship between the two will never recovered until today.
Here's a video idea: The History of the Knights Templar
Of course Napoleon is featured in this video. It’s always Napoleon.

1:31 Crusades were ordered in Clermont Ferrand but were launched in Le Puy en Velay as the crusaders assembled in Le Puy en Velay and started the journey. Adhémar was ordered by the pope to be the papal legate and spiritual leader of the Crusade. During the year 1096, Adhémar made donations, collected the sums necessary for the expedition and developed with Raymond de Saint-Gilles the arrangements for the regrouping of the Provençal army. Adhémar de Monteil was the bishop of my birth city Puy en Velay beautiful city with a thousand steps Church on top of Aiguille rock named this because its like a natural skyscrapers going up we also have on top of the next hill a massive statue of Sainte Notre Dame de France watching over the city above our Cathédrale Notre-Dame-du-Puy with all these monuments classed as humanity patrimony, UNESCO World Heritage have a look at it it's a very beautiful small city.
Wow didn’t know that the last crusader state was technically ended by napoleon
5:43 I'm not Italian but I think it's pronounced jeh-noa
As it's shown on the last minute of the video, two crusader factions coexisted with the United States.
Yes because an "e" after a "g" in Italian makes the "g" pronounced like the English "j".
Turks indeed had a decisive role in triggering historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, shaping the history of Balkans, Islamization of Northern India, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Roman Empire.

CORRECTION: Alexios did support, feed and transfer the first crusade but reports Antioch's siege had failed cancelled his reinforcements. This was embellished into "the Romans didn't help" in order to justify keeping the conquered Holding.
Also, the Fouth Crusade was widley condemned, even in the west and resulted in the collapse of reinforcements and crusader enthusiasm.
I heard they did it because of what happened to Latins who lived in the city
@CpTnot the latins were expelled from the merchant quarters in 1171 which was a huge hit in relations. The Massacre of the Latins is a myth which is never cited in Western sources and was fabricated by an inhabitant of Thesaloniki who wanted to write a revenge tale for the Norman sack he endured. The Catholic Church has formally apologised and was condemned by all except this band of Crusaders. They were forgiven because timed were tough and needed to move on but this destroyed the Roman Empire and doomed it to the Ottomans.
A Templar knight who fought in the Seventh Crusade lamented:
Rage and sorrow are seated in my heart...so firmly that I scarce dare to stay alive. It seems that God wishes to support the Turks to our loss...ah, lord God...alas, the realm of the East has lost so much that it will never be able to rise up again. They will make a Mosque of Holy Mary's convent, and since the theft pleases her Son, who should weep at this, we are forced to comply as well...Anyone who wishes to fight the Turks is mad, for Jesus Christ does not fight them any more. They have conquered, they will conquer. For every day they drive us down, knowing that God, who was awake, sleeps now, and Muhammad waxes powerful.
Satan had his grip on Jersalem now god has let the bloody jews get it. That land rightfully belongs to Christ
@@CufCufImam after "turk", you proved you are liar
The Mamluks were among the very few enemies to defeat the Mongols in combat, and they were never conquered. The Mamluk institution had appeared in Islamic civilization in the eighth century as the Caliphs sought to create a military force that was loyal only to the Caliph and not to regional, tribal, or another personal ties. Most Mamluks were of Turkic origin, primarily because the Turks were viewed as better, or at least more natural, warriors than Persians and Arabs. Turks of nomadic origins possessed riding and archery skills from an early age, so that after purchasing them as slaves one only had to refine those skills. The Mamluks therefore became perhaps the most highly trained warriors in the medieval world. They seized power in Egypt in 1250 during the ill-fated Crusade of Louis IX (Saint Louis) and created a Sultanate that dominated Egypt and then Syria until the sixteenth century.
The Mongol Art War, p.109
Most of the armies are Arab. The ones who most defended and paid dear prices for the sake of Islam are the Arabs. Our Turkish brothers fought to raise the banner of Islam. There is no doubt about that, but do not forget the virtue of your Arab brothers.
No ethno-linguistic group dealt with Crusades more than the Turkic peoples did. Turks dealt with Crusades for 600 years both in the form of actual Crusades or Holy Leagues. There are around more than 12 Crusades & Holy Leagues directed at Turks.

You could have also mentioned the fact that Crusader state governments were completely dominated by French immigrants. The Arabic word for white-skinned Western Europeans is Firangi, which in turn derived from the word Frank, as France was still xalled East Francia & the French still called themselves as Franks at that time. And that the French Catholics horribly mistreated the other non-Catholic Christian deniminations (Greeks & Arabs following Eastern Orthodox church, Syrians following the Miaphysite Syriac Church, Assyrians following the Nestorian Church, Armenians following the Armenian Apostolic Church). The persecution of non-Catholics by French Catholic foreign immigrants was the reason the Crusader staes didn't last long.

Great video, only problem is that Iran wasnt Shia until the Safavids forced iran to be Shia from Sunni
Iran wasn't shiite when the seljuks took over
How it could have been successful:
- Christians should have been reasonably united
- concentrate on Asia Minor to drive out the Turks
- for this purpose enter into an alliance with the Greeks, Byzantines and Armenians
- the Holy Land, like Israel today, lacks the strategic depth to be held
- therefore, Byzantium must maintain good relations with Egypt
- Egypt takes over the holy land, but assures Christians free pilgrimage and religious practice
- once Asia Minor has been conquered, Byzantium and Egypt can fend off all attackers from the east together
Yes it was the squabbles between Christians that saved the muzzs, would have been destroyed otherwise and a major problem today would have been gone. Add too that the European kings didnt take up the offer with Hulagu who wanted to wipe them out. Never mind they will be destroyed in upcoming war.

It was Turkish military slaves, the Mamluks, coming from the Eurasian steppes, who were successful in stemming the deadly Mongol danger. Complete political, military, and, last but not least, economic power passed into the hands of this new Turkish ruling caste that regenerated itself anew each generation from the outside. It was seen as a sign of particular divine grace and providence that Turks had contained the Mongol avalanche. Turks knew the fighting techniques of their Mongol "cousins" from their common homeland in the steppes of Central Asia.
The contemporary Syrian chronicler Abū Shāma rejoiced after the crucial battle of Ayn Jälūt in saying: "It is verily remarkable that the Tatars were broken and destroyed by their own kinsmen, the Turks." Paying his respect to the victorious sultan of Egypt, he continues in a couplet:
The Tatars conquered the lands and there came to them From Egypt a Turk, unmindful of his life. In Syria he destroyed and scattered them. To everything there is a bane of its own kind.
And the triumph of the Turks was compounded by the final expulsion of the Crusaders from the Holy Land; one should notice the wording of a panegyric for Sultan al-Ashraf Khalil after he had conquered, in 690/1291, Acre, the last Crusader stronghold:
Praise be to God, the nation of the Cross has fallen; Through the Turks the religion of the chosen Arabs has triumphed.
The Crusaders had allied themselves to the abominable Mongols, the "vile foe," and had constituted a constant humiliation to Islam for almost 200 years. These exploits immensely enhanced the religious prestige of the Mamluks. The popula- tion of Egypt and Syria gratefully acknowledged their achievements. The folk novel of al-Malik al-Zahir Baybars gives abundant testimony to the general feeling of owing the Mamluks, that is, the Turks, thanks for saving them from an imminent catastrophe.
Turks won because Hulugu leaft for Mongolia.
