The Rashidun Caliphate (feb 6, 630 – mar 25, 639)
Description:
The first islamic caliphate barely lasts a decade under assault from the Roman-Sassanid alliance and is resoundingly crushed in 639. What few muslim missionaries remain travel by boat to Aksum on the Horn of Africa, where Islam thrives and eventually spreads across sub-Saharan Africa.Added to timeline:
