https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/228714815/The fall of Baghdad is said to be one of the deadliest days in history, probably leading to the death of over 2,000,000.
The Mongols brought together a large army from all over Eurasia, the largest army they'd ever fielded. Soldiers were brought in from Georgia, Armenia, Mongolia, China, and even Frankish Crusaders joined in.
The Caliph of Iraq was a dumb mulatto who did not call for help from his Muslim allies. He did not build up his walls. His was given generous terms of surrender but refused them and insulted the Khan. When his armies amassed, he sent 20,000 cavalry right at them, who were quickly destroyed. The Mongols broke into the city in less than two weeks. 3000 nobles attempted to negotiate but were all killed. Then, the mongols killed nearly the entire city, destroying some of the greatest libraries,hospitals and palaces in the world. The water ran black from the ink, and red from blood.
As for the Caliph: Marco Polo says the Khan locked him in a room with treasure with no food or water. I hate GOT but it's similar to something that happened in the show.
