The Umayyads controlled Spain, North Africa, the Levant, Mesopotamia, Arabia, and Persia.
The Umayyads controlled all of the areas in which Muslims lived, but also controlled the dominant regions for Coptic Christians, Assyrian Christians, Donatists, Justianians, Nestorians, and Zoroastrians. They also had significant minorities of the world population of Jews and Orthodox Christians.

the abbasids defeated the umayyads in the battle of the great zab in ad 750.they did this because the umayyads started ruling like kings.they started hunting and dancing and only kept the Arabs in the top position.they also made non-Arab Muslims pay more taxes than them.people became unhappy with the umayyads and that is why the abbasids started the war.
The Abbasid group took power from the Umayyads in 750. They overthrew the Umayyad Caliphate during the Abbasid Revolution, which was characterized by widespread support from various factions, including discontented non-Arab Muslims and Shi'a supporters. The Abbasids established their capital in Baghdad, marking the beginning of a new era in Islamic history known for its cultural and intellectual flourishing.
Spain was under Muslim control by 750 AD.
The Arab Umayyads were followed by the Abbasid Caliphate, which came to power in 750 CE after the Abbasid Revolution. The Abbasids shifted the capital from Damascus to Baghdad and focused on cultural, scientific, and economic development, marking a golden age in Islamic history. This transition also represented a shift in power dynamics, emphasizing a more inclusive approach to governance compared to the Umayyads.
