@amandabreaksitdown: This video is a broad historical overview of one of history's most significant imperial expansions. Entire books have been written on every aspect of this subject, so no 10-minute video can cover every event, region or scholarly debate. The central question remains: Do we apply the same historical standards to every empire? Further Reading • Hugh Kennedy, The Great Arab Conquests • Fred M. Donner, The Early Islamic Conquests • Robert G. Hoyland, In God's Path: The Arab Conquests and the Creation of an Islamic Empire • Ira M. Lapidus, A History of Islamic Societies • Marshall G. S.

Your comments are very misleading.
I'm sure that youv are an Islamophobe.
Islam was not spread by the sword.

Didnt you know? The arab conquest was entirely peaceful and they rode in on rainbows and cotton candy... according to muslims. Just ignore the cities that were razed and the slave raids and the atrocities..

As a history major, I appreciate this video. History is about acknowledging the good, bad, and ugly and any attempt at sanitizing the past is dishonest.

The Muslim sack of Constantinople in 1453 was characterized by days of killing, raping, desecration of churches, booty taking & of course young women for slaves😜 Today if course it is Turkish & Muslim. Wiki: ‘Everywhere there was misfortune, everyone was touched by pain when Mehmed entered the city. "There were lamentations and weeping in every house, screaming in the crossroads, and sorrow in all churches; the groaning of grown men and the shrieking of women accompanied looting, enslavement, separation, and rape. If any citizens of Constantinople tried to resist, they were slaughtered.

Yet let's not forget, the legacy of the British Empire is some of the most prosperous , free and successful countries this world has ever known. The legacy of the Arab conquest is some of the most oppressed and impoverished countries in the world. I thank God I'm a child of the British Empire.

A really good summary of so much history! I feel like I’m starved for information on anything East and South of Jerusalem because history, the way it’s taught in America, starts in Greece and Rome, is followed by Europe, ending with the British and American empires - only mentioning the rest of the world in passing. It’s more like propaganda than history. At university I took a survey class about the Ancient Near East, with an Assyria specialist with a healthy contempt for “classics.” It changed my entire view of history — but it still feels like a struggle to learn the history that wasn’t taught.

When Mohammad & his followers conquer a place, they take women & girls as sex slaves. When the fighter dies in battle, Mohammad promise them 72 virgins in afterlife. This injustice cannot be from a Creator God who provide life & love his creation. Islam is Satanic Deception & is the great Devil with all the evil deeds.

You are missing a very extremely important point and that is that they did not conquer it on their own. They just overtake the Persian , to be exact the sa You are missing a very extremely important point and that is that they did not conquer it on their own. They just overtake the Persian empire to be exact assassinated empire that’s why their expansion could happen so fast Sassanians empire, that’s why! they did that expand on their own they fought against their Persians, the person lost, and so they could overtake the territories already being ruled by the persons for at least 6 to 800 years before that.

Hold on there The “Arab Golden Age” that you are referring needs a rather large asterisk. It was a cosmopolitan intellectual civilization, not an ethnically Arab scientific enterprise. Persians and other non-Arab peoples produced many of the period’s most famous scholars, Greek, Persian and Indian intellectual traditions supplied important foundations. Please do not turn barbarian ignorants into an ethnic copyright on everybody else’s achievements. Otherwise England can start collecting Nobel Prizes every time somebody publishes in English.

her comments are fair up to a point ; arab "conquests " in mideast were righteous to replace corrupt empires such as byzantine and to replace heathen religions; muhammad taught that christians are our brothers ; also to teach people about koran which is final message from almighty God ; and muhammad was prophesied in bible and hindu scriptures ; spread of arabic and english languages were good for.easy communication ; arabs realized that their foray into europe was wrong and foolhardy ; later on, charlemange and arab leaders made peace; but as happens, most empires start on righteous mode but become corrupt later
