Shah Muhammed, dissatisfied with the Mongol Empire's concessions in his kingdom, died on an island in the Caspian Sea. in contrast, the three most important Eastern Kwarazmian cities (Bukhara, Samarkand, and Urgench) were successfully besieged and ravaged. The people of Merv and Nishapur in western India were killed in one of the deadliest battles in human history. Genghis Khan led 100,000 warriors into the Khwarazmian Empire, exploiting existing weaknesses and conflicts to isolate and destroy his enemies. The Mongol army decimated the Shah's dominion in the ensuing conflict, which lasted less than two years. Genghis quit the wars he was fighting in China and prepared to attack Khwarazm, outraged by this insult. The governor of the city of Otrar seized and executed all members of a Mongol trading caravan on the Shah's orders when the Khan sent three diplomats to the Shah at Urgench to avert open conflict, one was killed, and the others were publicly humiliated. When Shah Muhammad II, the Shah of Khwarazm, breached a peace deal with Genghis Khan, the series of events that led to the Mongol invasion began. The Mongol conquest of Central Asia and the Islamic world began with the thorough defeat and destruction of the Turo-Persian Empire at the hands of the Mongols. The Mongol invasion of Persia, also known as the Mongol conquest of Khwarezmia, was a Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire led by Genghis Khan and Hulagu Khan.
