jan 1, 750 - Middle East is conquered by Arab armies

Description:

Arabian armies (eventually calling themselves Abbasid Caliphate) have overtaken many of the Middle Eastern countries, including Iran and Iraq. However, the Islamic Caliphate (the original rulers) continue to rule Syria and Egypt. Turkey/Asian Minor is also currently under attack because of territorial complications of who gets the land. A new religion has also started to be worshipped, Islam.
