dc.description.abstractMongols began to make a name for themselves in world history during the leadership of Chinggis Khan. They entered the Iranian geography as a result of their struggle with their biggest rival in the west, the Khwarazmshah. The apparent reason that motivated the Mongols was the Utrar incident. The Mongols, led by Chinggis Khan, confronted the Khwarazmshah as revenge for the murder of their ambassadors, or at least used this as an excuse. The Mongols’ struggle with the Khwarazmshah in Khorasan brought tremendous destruction to the region, with Herat being one of the Khorasani cities affected by this destruction. Although the Mongol invasion destroyed the city, this situation was limited to the Chinggis Khan period. Chinggis’ successors did not adopt their father’s policy in an administrative sense. Therefore, this situation is considered the beginning of a new process in Khorasani cities and was seen to affect many areas. Ögedei replaced Chinggis as Khan, and Ögedei Khan’s attitude toward the construction of cities was a turning point not just for Herat but for all Khorasan cities. In this way, Herat entered a period of recovery and development in terms of construction through Ögedei Khan. The construction activities carried out under the management of Ögedei Khan were essential for the redevelopment and improvement of the region. In order to elucidate all of these, the study is mainly based on Persian sources of the period. However, the study also applies Turkish and English sources where necessary. In this context, the study touches upon the destruction experienced in Herat due to the Mongol invasion and covers the construction activities carried out in the region during the reign of Ögedei Khan. © 2024 Istanbul Universitesi.
