Few events have dramatically altered the course of world history as have the dynamic Muslim conquests of the seventh century.
- Impact of the conquests:
- Seizure of a large expanse of onetime Roman lands.
- Cultural Arabization of millions of people.
- Continuous wars between Islam and the West—till the present.
Yet ambiguity abounds as to how and why these conquests were first realized.
Purpose of the Study
This study seeks to ascertain the immediate factors behind the conquests in general by deconstructing the all-pivotal Battle of Yarmuk in particular.
Why the Battle of Yarmuk Matters
- This paradigmatic encounter is ideal for extrapolating the root cause(s) of the conquests.
- At Yarmuk, the Arabs suffered notable physical and practical disadvantages—and still emerged triumphant.
Thus, this engagement allows one to see well beyond the usual aspects of military history—the physical and practical—and better appreciate more abstract yet decisive considerations.
