KAILI HONG PER.3 THE ISLAMIC EXPANSION The early Islamic empire expanded in a couple of ways. One of the ways was the war. I found this evidence in document A where it says that the Muslims to fight gathered together to fight the Greeks. The Greeks would tie each others foots to each other so none of them would escape during the war.
The Islamic Empire was huge, large, and untied. The early Islamic empire expanded by fiercely attacking and conquering other lands, as well as uniting them. To start off, In Document A (which is reliable because it happens to be written by Muslim historian Ahmad al-Biladuri in the 800s) it talks about how they killed 70,000 people. Even girls helped in creating a bloodbath which shows how fierce and strong they were on a battlefield and how they easily took more lands.
Islam is a religion that controls their follower's daily lives. It quickly spread throughout many large and small civilizations all throughout the world. Two civilizations that Islam affected were the Byzantine Empire and China. The Byzantine empire was the section of Rome that remained after the fall of Rome and was a very successful civilization in its time. During the rise of Christianity, the Byzantine empire became a Christian-based civilization and used the church to solve its political and economic problems that sprang up after the fall of Rome.
Lastly, the culture of the Islamic civilization was a big part of its expansion. Islamic rulers were tolerant of different religions, allowing people to practice their faith without fear. This encouraged many people to convert to Islam. This essay will look at how the Islamic Empire expanded so quickly and successfully through military conquests and strategies, Sharia, trade and commerce, and lastly the Islamic culture. One reason for the spread of Islamic civilization was its effective political systems and strategies.
The Islamic empire was a dominant force for about 600 years, they were so dominant that even today we see many examples of their impact on the world now.

The Islamic Empires' geographic extent, contributions and ideas in all fields, and influence on different regions led them to have a lasting impact on the world.
" This quote shows that the Muslim religion was also spread by cultural diffusion, which means people were passing it down by their own means, opening up isolated countries and exposing them to new beliefs and certain advancements. Countries like Africa and Spain were majorly impacted by the spread of Islam. They were introduced to new inventions and beliefs. As well as protection of the country and people within it whom they controlled. The Islam Empire was one of the biggest Empires in the world.
The most significant factors in the expansion of the Islamic Empire were tolerance,
The two empires share many traits, but they also differ in many ways. However, although similar, the Ottoman empire and Mughal empire are fundamentally different because of their view on religious tolerance, utilization of military successes, and women’s rights. To begin, the Ottoman and Mughal empires differ greatly in
Sir Thomas Roe, an English diplomat and ambassador to Constantinople once said "The Ottoman Empire has the body of a sick old man, who tried to appear healthy, although his end was near." Definitely, the Ottoman Empire wouldn't stay strong and young forever. Due its fast and rapid success in expanding, having a strong court system, and having an efficient system of taxation, other great powers in Europe felt threatened. After all, if the empire was expanding and gaining much power quickly, it would be unexceptional for it to invade one of these great powers. Europe sensed the Ottoman jeopardy, so countries such as Britain, France, and Italy allied and plans were made to ensure the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
Their military was very tactical and the man in their military were train in the ways of achy and lead by a conn. The relationship between the Byzantine Empire and the Turkish nomads, the defeat the Byzantine Empire.

The religious influences helped empires to grow more wealthy and powerful. For example in the Mali Empire. Sundiata gained more power by taking religious authority of the mansa. The rulers after Sundiata were mostly Muslims. One of the most powerful and influential Muslim ruler was Mansa Musa.
The Mughal rule, which roughly extended from 1526 to 1707, was a period when the political and natural environments of much of the Indian subcontinent underwent drastic change. The Mughals had a deep fascination towards nature but also acknowledged their superiority, both as humans and as royals, over it as well as the tribal societies that lived amidst nature. Their constant involvement in warfare led them to look at the forest and animals such as elephants and horses as precious resources; consequently, the military demands of an empire the size of the Mughals’ took a toll on these resources. Extensively engaging with nature for political and social purposes, the Mughals played an important role in transforming the pluralistic landscapes that fell under their empire. But more importantly, they paved the way for the colonial period to extract resources from nature in an intensive way; the impact of their engagement with nature was felt strongly only during the later colonial period.
