The rulers back then were called caliphs and the first Abbasid caliph took power in 749 AD. Baghdad continued to grow in size and popularity. In 1258, the grandson of Genghis Khan, whose name was Hulagu, destroyed Baghdad and killed the last Abbasid caliph. By 1638, the Ottomans took over the rule and changed Iraq history.
