At this time, the Christians of Europe and the Catholic Church, as well as the Christians living in the Eastern and Islamic lands, who saw the Muslims as their long-time enemy, tried to accompany the Mongols and interact with them from various religious, political, and military aspects to suppress and destroy the existing Islamic governments in the region, including the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad, the Ayyubids the Levant and the Mamluks in Egypt. The present research, with theoretical analysis and review of historical events of this time and evaluating the available data, emphasizes not only the effective role of Christians in the Mongols’ confrontation with Islamic governments. It also explains their relations with the Mongols, taking into account the ruling families of the Mongols.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Появление монголов и их вторжение на исламские земли - важнейшее явление тринадцатого века, которое нанесло серьезный удар по мусульманским правительствам, присутствующим в исламском мире, и потрясло, а в некоторых случаях и уничтожило их военно-политические, а также социально-экономические структуры. В это время христиане Европы и католическая церковь, а также христиане, живущие на восточных и исламских землях, которые видели в мусульманах своих давних врагов, пытались заключить союз с ними и обратить их в свою веру, используя для этого различные религиозные институты. Это сыграло определенную роль в падении мусульманских государств в регионе, включая Аббасидский халифат в Багдаде, Айюбидов в Леванте и мамлюков в Египте. Настоящее исследование подчеркивает не только значительную роль христиан в противостоянии монголов с мусульманскими государствами, а также объясняет отношения христиан с монголами с учетом правящих семей монголов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Mongols</kwd><kwd>Christians</kwd><kwd>Islamic governments</kwd><kwd>Egyptian Mamluks</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>монголы</kwd><kwd>христиане</kwd><kwd>исламские правительства</kwd><kwd>египетские мамлюки</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bayani  Shirin.
