Ilkhanate
Ilkhanate appears on the map from 1294 to 1343. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1294, it covered about 3.94 million km².
The Ilkhanate was the Mongol khanate in Iran, founded by Hulagu, grandson of Genghis Khan, who was sent west by his brother, the Great Khan Möngke. Hulagu destroyed the fortresses of the Assassins and sacked Baghdad in 1258, ending the Abbasid caliphate, but his advance into Syria was stopped by the Mamluks in 1260. The Ilkhans ruled Iran, Iraq, the Caucasus and Anatolia, fought the Golden Horde and the Mamluks, and exchanged embassies with the pope and European kings. More about Ilkhanate.
