Question

Who drove the Mongols out of Syria?

Answer 1

The Mamluks of Egypt drove the Mongols out of Syria in the year 1260. The Mamluks were an Egyptian army made up of slaves, who took advantage of the question about who would rule the Mongol Empire following Genghis Khan's death. The Mamluks attacked the Mongols when they were no longer united. This was the furthest the Mongols reached into the Middle East, but even after the Mamluk attacks and victories the Mongols continued to hold all of central Asia for almost another century. The Mamluks established their own kingdom from Egypt to Syria that would last another 250 years.
