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. Trade helped cities grow and kings rose to power by controlling trade networks and playing a religious role in society.Abd al rahman escaped in 750

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.Abbassids

The Abbasid rule declined due to poor leadership, revolts, and invasions over centuries. The Fatimids revolted and established their own caliphate in North Africa. The Seljuk Turks captured Baghdad in 1055 and allowed the Abbasid caliph to remain as a religious leader only. In 1258, the Mongols led by Genghis Khan sacked Baghdad, killing over 200,000 people and murdering the Abbasid caliph, bringing an end to the Abbasid Empire.Ch4 les1

The Umayyads established effective governance over this vast territory through a bureaucracy and appointment of local governors.
