Furthermore, the caliphate's foundation of authority was undermined by the fall of provinces and the emergence of independent regional dynasties. External invasions brought an end to the Abbasid political supremacy in the region, most notably the assault of Baghdad in 1258 by the Mongols and later by the Seljuk Turks.
