How and when did it all go so terribly, terribly wrong?
This region is richer (in oil) than Europe and at some point they were more advanced.
How did they descend so low?

They never accept other religion, culture and values.
Just like Catholic in 14th century.

Doesn't even make sense when Europe ended up ruling the world.

This meme needs to die. Hitchens mentioned it and now every redditer spouts it like gospel. The arabs saved greek mathematics - that's it. They saved the greeks work so that Europeans could build on it. They had some minor contributions to the scientific world before quickly going full islam mode. They were not more advance, just temporarily less shit.
Saudi arabia supported Pakistan .
Pakistan was able to invest new clear weapon thanks to Saudi arabia.
If Iran succeed in inventing Atomic boms, Pakistan will give their Atomic boms to Saudi arabia.
Then, what will happen the next......

What I don't get is why the impact of the Mongols was so severe. Their culture was inferior. Why didn't these countries just rebuild themselves and continue in their civilized, non-nomadic lifestyle?
WW2 was far more destructive and Europe prospered just 5-10 years later. How could the Mongols set half of Asia back for fucking centuries?
>>53077871
Because they're wrong.
Huns and Mongols also invaded Eastern Europe, but it didn't stop them from advancing.
Also large parts of ME, like Egypt, was untouched by Mongols.

Also, nazis and soviets didn't turn the terrain into an infertile wasteland, nor burn all the libraries they could find and nuke all the universities.

Baghdad was the culmination of centuries of scientific;socual and philosophical progress. It all went ro shit with baghdads fall
>>53077871
Mongolian are good at riding horses.
And their invading way was clever.
They were the strongest only in the field and dessert.
They were beated by Japan, Vietnam and Egypt
>>53077537
>How did they descend so low?
because of that pedophile faggot called Muhammed.
>>53077537
it is not the mongols and neither it is any religion.
The europeans got rich by exploiting the New World riches (thus getting powerful) and with these riches they started exploiting other parts of the world of their riches too.

*social
The West and Wahhabism.
What made the strength of Europe is the poverty of our soil. We had to find other ways to develop our countries.
>>53077930
You are partially right, but migration period fucked up Eastern Europe for centuries(fewer, but still).
Try finding documents from that place in the X-XII century.
This place,for example , lost all of it's city dwelling folk until much later due to it.

>WW2 was far more destructive
Sure, if you compare them side by side, more people died in WW2. However, proportional to the world population of the time, the Mongol conquests led to the most deaths in human history.

Japan controls tsunamis, yeh?

60% of army were chineeses and koreans, which cant fucking fight
so this is the reason too
Middle East was the most developed region in the world.
If the industrial revolution had broken out in the middle East, European might be slaves of them.
You, westerner must thank for British.
>>53078212
There is no day i dont praise our british lords
God save the Queen!
>>53078112
You are wrong.
It was not tsunami but typhoon and samurai that beat Mongolian.
Indeed, we cannot control tsunami, but we know when the typhoon attack Japan in a year. Mongolian didn't know that factor.
And a lot of mongolian could land in Japan.
Sure, itt was samurai who beated them.

Baghdad was irrelevant by 9th century

Seems like they didn't even use horses against you, that must be why they lost.
>>53078212
never thought I'd see a teaaboo out in the wild.
You're right, though.
