Arab Empires

The Persian Empire 550 BC – 334 BC was large and short-lived. Its wealth came from its trade between Europe and Asia. It became too expensive to maintain and it was ended by the Greeks and the Romans.

Islam continues to spread wherever it can and its wars of expansion continue today. Non-Muslims are given the chance to “convert or die”.

Muslim Expansion began under Muhammed from 622 AD to 632 AD and encompassed the Arab Pennensula. It continued under the Rashidun califs from 632 AD to 661 AD and the Ymayyad califs from 661 AD to 750 AD and included present day Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan Spain and North Africa.

Muslims began to migrate to Asia and Southeast Asia in 674 AD and had expanded significantly by 1200 AD

Crusades 1096-1291 AD – In 1095 Pope Urban II called for the crusades to secure Jerusalem.  Salidin, the Muslim Sultan of Egypt and Syria captured Jefusalem in 1187.

The Muslim Ottoman Empire was formed in 1299 in Turkey and occupied Greece, Eastern Europe, Western Asia, Southern Russia, Egypt and Tripoli in North Africa until their defeat in the Balkin Wars in 1913.

At the start of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was already in decline. The Ottoman Turks entered the war in 1914 on the side of the Central Powers (including Germany and Austria-Hungary) and were defeated in 1918.

Under a treaty agreement, most Ottoman territories were divided between Britain, France, Greece and Russia.

The Ottoman empire officially ended in 1922 when the title of Ottoman Sultan was eliminated. Turkey was declared a republic in 1923.

Muslims continued to battle with Christian European countries.  In 1453 Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks and in 1492, Spain removed the Muslim Moors from Spain.

Although Europeans had stopped Muslims from invading with armies, the invasion by migration has continued and so does the battle between Muslims and Christians.
