Magyars, Muslim armies, and Vikings
The Muslim empire began on the Arabian Peninsula. It was here, in the early 7th century, that the Prophet Muhammad preached Islam, leading to the establishment of a unified Muslim community. Following his death, the empire rapidly expanded beyond the peninsula, spreading across the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe and Asia.
Before the Reconquista, Spain was primarily ruled by Muslim forces, specifically the Moors, who invaded the Iberian Peninsula in the early 8th century. This period saw the establishment of various Islamic kingdoms, known as taifas, that coexisted with Christian states. The Reconquista, which began in the late 15th century, was a series of campaigns by Christian kingdoms to reclaim territory from Muslim rule, ultimately leading to the fall of Granada in 1492.
