Abd al-Rahman escaped the Abbasid Empire in 750 and fled to Iberia where he began building a kingdom to rival the Abbasids in culture and wealth. When he arrived in Cordoba, Spain was divided with no single faction in control. Abd al-Rahman was able to unite the warring factions and declared himself Emir of Cordoba in 756, establishing the Umayyad capital there. Over 125 years later, under Abd al-Rahman III, al-Andalus reached its height of power as a center of learning, wealth, and culture, though internal revolts and external threats eventually contributed to its decline starting in 1204.

After Muhammad's death, Abu Bakr became the first caliph or successor and led the armies to unify Arabia through military campaigns. The Muslim state expanded through conquests of Persia and Byzantium. Early caliphs came from the Umayyad family who moved the capital to Damascus and continued expanding the empire into places like Central Asia, Northern India, and North Africa. In 771, Arabs and Berbers invaded Spain and conquered it quickly, then moved into France but were defeated at the Battle of Tours. Later the Abbasid dynasty came to power in 749 and reorganized government. Islam spread rapidly through trade and conquered lands, reaching places like India and Africa.1311 Islamic life, Culture, and Trade

Islam originated in the 7th century AD on the Arabian Peninsula. The religion was founded by the prophet Muhammad after he began receiving revelations from God (Allah) at age 40. Muhammad's teachings were based on strict monotheism and he and his followers faced persecution in Mecca, leading to the migration (Hijra) to Medina in 622 AD which marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar.

Arab armies conquered vast lands, reaching as far as Spain by 711 CE and establishing an empire that stretched from Spain to Pakistan. However, the lack of a clear succession plan after Muhammad caused conflicts between those who supported Muhammad's son-in-law Ali and the Umayyad clan who ultimately took control.

Muslims ruled Al-Andalus until 1492, leaving influences on Spanish culture, art, customs and language.

The Islamic Golden Age occurred between the 8th-13th centuries AD under Abbasid rule. During this period, major cities like Baghdad, Cairo, and Cordoba became centers of culture and learning. Muslim scholars made significant contributions to art, architecture, science, and mathematics by preserving ancient Greek and Egyptian knowledge and building upon it with new discoveries and innovations, especially in astronomy, optics, medicine, and algebra. However, by the 13th century, external attacks by Crusaders and Mongols disrupted trade and urban life, while internal pressures discouraged further scientific progress, bringing an end to the Golden Age.Era 06

After the Umayyad caliphate fell in Damascus, the last surviving member fled to Iberia and established himself as the Emir of Cordoba in 756. He made Cordoba the capital and established the Umayyad emirate. For over two centuries, C坦rdoba flourished under the emirs and caliphs, becoming one of the most advanced cities in Europe with vast libraries, philosophical and scientific achievements, and a prosperous economy. However, internal struggles after the caliphate's collapse in 1031 led to the fragmentation of Al-Andalus into competing taifa kingdoms, weakening Muslim rule and allowing the Christian reconquista to gain ground.Chapter 9 notes

The Middle Ages began after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century due to invasions from Germanic tribes. One such tribe, the Visigoths, established a powerful kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula with its capital in Toledo. However, in 711 AD Muslim invaders from North Africa conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula, establishing the territory of Al-Andalus with its capital in Cordoba. Over the following centuries, Christian kingdoms reconquered territory in a process known as the Reconquest, which was completed in 1492 with the fall of Granada.Middle Ages

The Visigoths invaded and settled in Hispania in the 5th century, establishing a kingdom with its capital in Toledo. The Visigothic Kingdom lasted until 711 AD when the Muslims invaded and conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula, establishing the emirate of Al-Andalus. Al-Andalus became an independent province ruled from Cordoba and brought Islamic culture and rule to Iberia for over 800 years. Meanwhile, the Christian kingdoms expanded northward until they began the Reconquista in the 11th century, eventually conquering the last Muslim kingdom of Granada in 1492.The middle ages

West African medieval culture was characterized by clan-based societies where the good of the group came before individuals. Kinship groups formed the basis of government and decision making. Labor was specialized, with men tending animals and clearing land for farming while women prepared food, cared for children, and worked in fields. Religion was an important part of daily life and centered around animism, though Islam and Christianity were introduced through trade.

The Umayyads established effective governance over this vast territory through a bureaucracy and appointment of local governors. However, over time unrest grew as the Umayyads neglected Islamic law and established a hereditary ruling family, leading to their overthrow by the Abbasids in 750 CE.Islam after muhammads death
