Christianity and Islam beyond Central Asia
While the Mongols conquered the heart of Eurasia, the Christian and Muslim lands at its western and southern edges went their own way. Popes fought kings and heretics, Christian kingdoms advanced in Iberia, crusaders tried and failed to win Egypt, and the Mamluks of Egypt and the sultans of Delhi became the powers that stopped the Mongols.
