The leather part is actually funny for me because one of the Mongols trade item is leather. It's like the Mongol will flood the market of conquered people with leather lmao
that is not accurate ilkhanate a part of mongolia who were set to conquer middle east towards africa teamed up with christians like the templars in iraq syria and egypt to fight against the muslims mamluks and ayyubidins. The muslims indians were one of the few who held up against mongols. Soon Berke khan a major mongolian figure of golden horde converted to islam and declared war against hulegu khan the ruler of ilkhanate who fought against muslims. Berke khan won the fight and majority of the mongolians also converted to islam. Also the descendants of Hulegu
