Mamluks, Crusaders, Mongols & the Struggle for the Middle East

In this online course you'll learn all about the Mongols and their avowed purpose to conquer the entire planet. Partner Promotion Mongol Invasion Online Medieval Studies Courses from Medievalists.net Learn History from the Experts Our partners at Medieval Studies Courses have announced another fascinating course: [The Mongols]( starting this Thursday the 18th of April.

This six-week course explores the Mongol invasions into the Middle East; a titanic conflict which fundamentally overthrew the existing order. Many empires fell to their armies. The Crusades failed.

These convulsions brought death and destruction in their wake, but also enormous change. [Enroll now]( to secure your spot.
