== Ilkhanate vs Mongol Empire ==
 
FYI [[User:Malik-Al-Hind]]:
 
As chronicled in the "Background" section of this article, Hulegu was acting on behalf of his brother Möngke, ruler of the Mongol Empire. Now, the fundamental dispute here is whether Möngke had ordered Hulegu from the start to take the Middle East as his own. That is why some authors teleologically place the "foundation" of the Ilkhanate in 1256, the year Hulegu himself arrived in the region. But crucially, he did not start calling himself "Ilkhan" until after this siege (Atwood 2004 p. 231). In the recent ''The Mongol World'' (2022), [[George A. Lane]] says this explicitly: {{green|"The Ilkhanate was established by Hülegü Khan after the fall of Baghdad in 1258"}}.
