Tripoli, Fall of

Years: 1289 - 1289

The Fall of Tripoli is the capture and destruction of the Crusader state, the County of Tripoli (in what is modern-day Lebanon), by the Muslim Mamluks.

The battle occurs in 1289 and is an important event in the Crusades, as it marks the capture of one of the few remaining major possessions of the Crusaders.

"Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe... Yet, clumsily or smoothly, the world, it seems, progresses and will progress."
