It depends on what you mean by "defeated".
The Umayyad armies experienced their first major loss in Poitiers, France in 732 C.E.
The Umayyad Caliphate in Damascus was overthrown by the Abbassids in 750 C.E.
The Umayyad Caliphate in Córdoba, Spain collapsed in 1038 C.E. with the death of Hisham III without any successors.
It depends on which Umayyad Caliphate you are talking about.
The Umayyad Caliphate in Damascus from 660 C.E. to 750 C.E. was overthrown by a coup d'état led by the Abbassid Family.
The Umayyad Caliphate in Cordoba from 711 C.E. to 1038 C.E. ended when the final Caliph, Hisham III, died without any successors.
The Umayyad Caliphate in Damascus reigned from 660 C.E. to 750 C.E. which is a period of 90 years.
The Umayyad Caliphate in Cordoba (which was originally called the Emirate of Cordoba) reigned from 711 C.E. to 1038 C.E., which is a period of 327 years.
the year 661 (they lost their power in 750)
The Umayyad's ruled for 89 years from 661 AD to 750 AD. During that time, the Aramaic language was replaced by the Arabic language, and most of the Syrian people became Muslims.
The Umayyads took power in 661.
The year 656
Yes because the Rashidun Caliphate started at 632 AD and ended in 661 AD so the Umayyad caliphate started and the Umayyad caliphate ended in 749 AD so the Abbasid Caliphate start....
Umayyads
The Umayyads were an aristocratic Meccan family who had been appointed to b the governors of Damascus. The assassination of their cousin, Caliph Othman, provided the perfect excuse for this family to make a gambit for more political power. They were successful in this. The Umayyads were also generally unconcerned about Islam and were not bothered by the fact that they were opposing a government composed of Muhammad's Apostles.
No. Under the Sunni Umayyads, Shiites were quite strongly discriminated against. After Yazid I martyred Hussein, the Shiites made it their mission in life to oppose every action of the Umayyad dynasty. It did not help matters that the Umayyads tortured and murdered Shiite Imams and Infallibles, leading to irreconcilability between the Shiites and the Umayyads.The anger happened specifically because Umayyads targeted Shiites and Mawali Sunnis (Sunnis who were not Arabs) for violence. They also had issues with control over the vast distances of their empire as well as noble Arab families that resented the Umayyads' rise and wanted power. (One of these rival families was the Abbassids, who would eventually take power from the Umayyads in a coup d'etat.)
There is no such group. The Umayyads were supported by the Sunnis because they had temporal power, but the Sunnis never had a requirement that the ruler need be a descendant of the Umayyads; their precondition for having the right to rule was having the power to effectively govern.Perhaps this question confuses the Shiite requirement that a rightful ruler be a descendant of Ali ibn AbuTalib. Ali and the Umayyads were enemies and are in-no-way related.
Umayyads
They built a strong bureaucracy and huge standing army.

They regarded him as a threat to their wealth and power as he questioned the traditional readings of the Ka'ba.
Umayyads always controlled shia Muslims and kept Imams of shia in prison or killed them. shia Muslims hated Umayyads and always hided their beliefs to be safe from Umayyads security officers.They don't consider them right.
