Umayyad Caliphate (1 Jan 661 Jahr – 1 Jan 750 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Beginning with the Umayyads, the title of the caliph became hereditary.[28] Under the Umayyads, the Caliphate grew rapidly in territory, incorporating the Caucasus, Transoxiana, Sindh, the Maghreb and most of the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) into the Muslim world. At its greatest extent, the Umayyad Caliphate covered 5.17 million square miles (13,400,000 km2), making it the largest empire the world had yet seen and the sixth-largest ever to exist in history.
