1228 CE to 1239 CE

The expansionist Mongols disrupt the entire northern Near East.

Marching west to war from a center near Azerbaijan, they systematically conquer Syria, Syrian Mesopotamia, and eastern Anatolia.

The Mongols attack the Christian kingdoms of Armenia and Georgia in 1235-36 to keep their communication lines open for a European offensive planned for the coming year.

The Mongols shatter Georgian unity and, in 1239, ravage the Armenian capital.
