The Battle of Baghdad (946) is fought between the forces of the Buyid amirate of Iraq under Mu'izz al-Dawla and the Hamdanid amirate of Mosul under Nasir al-Dawla within the city of Baghdad.
The battle lasts for several months; it eventually ends in victory for the Buyids, who expels the Hamdanids from Baghdad with a major offensive and secure control of the city.The battle is the first conflict in the Buyid-Hamdanid Wars; it is also the only one to occur largely on Buyid, rather than Hamdanid, territory.
