The Siege of Acre

The Siege of Acre in 1291 was a pivotal event during the last major conflict of the Crusades, where Muslim forces led by the Mamluks attacked the Crusader stronghold of Acre in modern-day Israel. After a fierce two-month siege, the Mamluks overran the city, resulting in significant casualties and the end of Christian rule in the Holy Land. The fall of Acre marked a turning point, as it effectively concluded the Crusader presence in the region, leading to a consolidation of Muslim power and shifting geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East for centuries.
