Sequence of events:
1. Death of Genghis Khan: Genghis Khan, the founder and the first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, died in 1227. His death marked a significant turning point in the history of the Mongol Empire and had implications for the subsequent events.
2. Capture of Baghdad and end of the Abbasid Caliphate: After the death of Genghis Khan, his successors continued the expansion of the Mongol Empire. In 1258, Hulagu Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan, led the Mongols in capturing Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. This event resulted in the end of the Abbasid Caliphate, a major Islamic empire that had existed for centuries.
3. End of Yuan dynasty in China: The Yuan dynasty was established in China by Kublai Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan. The dynasty ruled over China from 1271 to 1368. However, internal conflicts, economic difficulties, and popular uprisings led to the decline of the Yuan dynasty. In 1368, the Chinese rebel leader Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Mongols and established the Ming dynasty, bringing an end to the Yuan dynasty.
Arrangement of events:
Based on the chronological order of the events, the correct sequence is:
3-2-1
- Genghis Khan's death in 1227 marks the beginning of the sequence.
- The capture of Baghdad and the end of the Abbasid Caliphate occurred in 1258, after Genghis Khan's death.
- The end of the Yuan dynasty in China happened in 1368, which is the final event in the given sequence.
Therefore, the correct arrangement of the events is 3-2-1 (Death of Genghis Khan, Capture of Baghdad and end of the Abbasid Caliphate, End of Yuan dynasty in China).
