مصر فى عصرى الأيوبيين والمماليك: دور الدولة الزنكية في الجهاد ضد الصليبيين

The video discusses the Zengid state's role in resisting the Crusaders after they established several states. Imad al-Din Zengi, a Seljuk atabeg and Mosul's emir, recognized unity as key to expelling the Crusaders. He reclaimed Edessa in 1144 but was martyred in 1146, leaving his son Nur al-Din to continue the struggle. Nur al-Din aimed to annex Egypt, exploiting a conflict between ministers Shawar and Dirgham, sending Shirkuh and Saladin to achieve this. After Nur al-Din's death, Saladin became Egypt's de facto ruler, continuing the fight against the Crusaders.
