The Byzantine Empire was a powerful nation which controlled the trading hub of Constantinople, and whose government offered a greater degree of stability than most European nations at the time. The Islamic Caliphate was a dynamic and prosperous nation which benefited from the zeal of its people and the power of its religion. Both empires were culturally and scientifically advanced.

∙ 8y agoThe Byzantine and Sassanid Empires in their heyday could have individually held off an Arab advance, even a unified one, but the two empires had been in a war for over twenty years which drained resources, men, and introduced war weariness to the region. In addition, one of Muhammad's Apostles (Salman the Persian) was able to turn Persia over to the Caliphates (once King Yazdagerd III was defeated in battle) peacefully because he was Persian himself. These two empires, the only two major powers that stood in the Arabs' way, were unable to hold off the advance except in Anatolia.
