Most modern studies have portrayed the Mamlûk period as that in which the Christian population of the Mamlük empire reached its demise. Two reasons are most often given for this situation: 1) the effect of the Crusades in arousing anti-Christian sentiment and 2) the Mongol invasions to which several Christian powers gave active assistance.
