Hulagu's army greatly expanded the southwestern portion of the Mongol Empire, founding
the Ilkhanate of Persia, a precursor to the eventual Safavid dynasty, and then the modern state
of Iran. Under Hulagu's leadership, the siege of Baghdad (1258)destroyed Baghdad's standing in
the Islamic Golden Age and weakened Damascus, causing a shift of Islamic influence to
the Mamluk Sultanate in Cairo and ended the Abbasid Dynasty.
