		A sense of historical identity and continuity had, however, tenuously prevailed, and it was the so-called catastrophic 13th century that finally saw the rebirth of Persia as a central cultural, spiritual and political player on the regional, if not the world, stage.
		This study demonstrated that Hulega Khan was welcomed as a king and a saviour from the depredations of his predecessors, rather than a conqueror, and that the initial decades of his rule were characterised by a renaissance in the cultural life of the Iranian plateau.
		Freed from the spiritual and political oppression from Baghdad and fed by a rich influx of cultural, commercial and mercantile influences from Asia, Persia, its languages, the "state" and culture prospered.

		In 1256, as part of his Middle Eastern expansion and conquest of Baghdad, the grandson of Genghis Khan, Hulegu Khan systematically chased and massacred the Persian members of the group after al-Sabbah's son murdered several of Hulegu's ambassadors -- a massive breach of diplomatic protocol from a Mongol perspective.
		(It was exactly this act that enraged Genghis Khan and led him to wreak unmitigated devastation upon the Sultan of Khwarzim and the people of his kingdom.) The Syrians who belong to the sect were wiped out by the Mamluk Sultan of Egypt a bit later.
		In Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World the author, Jack Weatherford, makes an impassioned case that one of the primary reasons for the disintegration and eventual collapse of the Mongol empire was the widespread epidemic of the plague throughout Asia and Europe in the 14th century.
