History of the Seljuk State of Syria and Palestine

Summary:

The Seljuk State of Syria and Palestine was a Turkish-Islamic state that ruled the regions of Syria and Palestine from 1092 to 1194. This state emerged from the fragmentation of the Great Seljuk Empire and was established under the dominance of the Abbasid Caliphate. The Seljuk sultans fought against the Crusaders in Syria and Palestine and organized the defense of the region's Muslims. During this period, significant cultural and architectural developments took place, with notable structures being built. However, by the mid-12th century, the rise of the Ayyubids diminished their power, and eventually, they lost their dominance in the region. The Seljuk State of Syria and Palestine made significant contributions to the political and cultural history of the area.
