            There was a bit of a minor scrap with some basically unknown fellows called the Mongols, and then there were the quarrels between the Mamluk Sultanate and the Turks, the constant rebellions and civil wars, then the Ottomans and the pseudo-feudal wars, separatist movements, and peasant revolts of that period, which include both prior-to and after the US’s founding.

                    The conflicts of the Ilkhanate extended well into the 14th century, after the last attempts to hold onto the crusader states petered out. Try again.
