Did the rightly guided caliphs expand their empire to include all of southwest Asia?
It depends on whether you consider western Anatolia to be part of Southwest Asia. The Rightly-Guided Caliphs conquered all other regions of Southwest Asia, including Arabia, Egypt, the Levant, Mesopotamia, Persia, and eastern Anatolia. However, Muslims under the Rightly-Guided Caliphs left western Anatolia under Byzantine control.

What happened in 661 that greatly changed the governing of the Islamic Empire?
In 661, Muawiyah, the founder of the Umayyad Dynasty successfully defeated Ali and ended the Rightly-Guided Caliphate. The way Caliphs (Islamic Rulers) had come to power was through minor elections between those closest to the Prophet. Most believe that the Rightly-Guided Caliphs were people who attempted to guide Islam properly and were only interested in benefiting their people and expanding Islam. Muawiyah made control of the Islamic Empire hereditary (the Umayyad and Abbassid Empires were both hereditary) and the Umayyad Caliphs were seen to be incredibly ostentatious and non-religious. As Umayyads expanded their power, they began to set up regional governors and entrusted them with a lot of local authority. Also, the religious elite separated from the Umayyads and made the judiciary (which was run by the religious elite) a more independent body from the Caliph.
