| | | | | Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia: Encyclopedia II - Armenian Quarter - 1260–1517—The Mamluk period The coming of the Slave Army of the Mamluks in 1260, replacing the short lived late Muslim Ayyubid rulers (1244–1260) had little effect on the Armenians but great effect on the other Christian communities, many of whom were viewed as being part of the Crusader mentality.

| | | | | Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia: Encyclopedia II - Marco Polo - Il Milione On their return from China in 1295, the family settled in Venice where they became a sensation and attracted crowds of listeners who had difficulties in believing their reports of distant China. According to a late tradition, since they did not believe him, Marco Polo invited them all to dinner one night during which the Polos dressed in the simple clothes of a peasant in China.

| | | | | Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia: Encyclopedia II - Armenian Quarter - Struggles over the Holy sites The Struggle over the Holy sites had little effect on the buildings themselves, save the fact that all the churches ended up agreeing in the end to split the costs of renovations. Nevertheless the Armenians and the Greek Orthodox waged a war in the Ottoman courts during the 17th century for control of worshipping practices and ownership at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and at the Church of the Nativity.

| | | | | Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia: Encyclopedia II - Armenian Quarter - The British Mandate Period—1917–1948 The British authorities, with their spit-shined boots and years of colonial experience were quick to embrace the Status Quo, despite Balfour Declaration to create a Jewish Homeland. The British looked to the Status Quo of 1852 for guidance, keeping the four quarters of the Old City while at the same time allowing a major building program outside the city walls.
In the 1920s most of the Armenian quarter by this time had “European style gable roofs” as opposed to the domes preferred in the Muslim quarter. In 1922 Armenians made up 8 ...

Under the U.N. resolution Jerusalem was planned to become an international city, but the invasion of the Jordanian legion made this plan impossible.
