Who Could Have Stopped the Mongols Prior to Ain Jalut?
Under the leadership of Genghis Khan and Subutai the Mongols conquered nation after nation winning dozens of massive battles. The Mongols, until 1260 when they were defeated by the Mamluks at Ain Jalut, they looked unstoppable. I'm curious to know what nation could have beat the Mongols prior to Ain Jalut? Which of the following nations had the best chance of stopping the Mongols?
Khwarezmian Empire: Battle of Indus
Kievan Rus: Battle of Kalka River
Sultanate of Rum: Battle of Kose Deg
Kingdom of Hungary: Battle of Mohi
Volga Bulgaria: Battle of Samara Bend
Jin Dynasty: Battle of Yehuling
Abbasid Caliphate: Siege of Baghdad
Kingdom of Poland: Battle of Legnica
