The Sunni's believe after Muhammad's death, he left his followers with his book Quran and the culture. They also had 3 ''khalifahs'' after Muhammad's death. The Shiites believe after Muhammad's death, he left his followers with his book Quran and another follower that gave guidance, Imam Ali.That was later on that the shiites formed the doctrine of Imamat. Hazrat Ali (RAU) expressed his pact of obedience (BA"AT) to the three Rightful Caliphs and acted as an active counsel/advisor to them. He was the Fourth Rightful Caliph. He never claimed that the first three were not Rightful Caliphs. He was not a coward to keep this in his heart and serve the first three rightful Caliphs.
It's because Shiites beleive that Muhammad's son in law and follower Ali, shud have been The Prophet's successor rather than his closest companion (Best Friend).
After Muhammad's death in 632 CE, the Islamic Empire rapidly expanded under the leadership of the first four caliphs, known as the Rashidun Caliphs. This period saw the consolidation of Muslim rule across the Arabian Peninsula and the conquest of territories in the Byzantine and Sasanian empires. Internal divisions eventually emerged, leading to the Sunni-Shia split and ongoing conflicts over leadership and authority. The Umayyad Caliphate later succeeded the Rashidun, further expanding the empire into parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia.
All branches of science, human rights, philosophies, and morals were advanced in the Islamic empire.
The Muslims, the Companions of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad SAW , elected Hazrat Abu Bakr RAU their Ruler, the First Rightful Caliph. He was succeeded by Hazrat Omar RAU who founded the Muslim Empire.

Hazrat Ali (RAU). But the Shiaism sprang up much later. Hazrat Ali (RAU) remained faithful to the first three Rightful Caliphs. He was an active member of the advisory council (Shoora) of the Muslims during the reign of first three Rightful Caliphs. He was the fourth Rightful Caliph.
The first four Caliphs after Muhammad, more commonly known as The Rightly Guided Caliphs were Abdullah ibn Abi Quhaafah (known by his nickname, Abu Bakr), Umar ibn al-Khattab, Ali ibn Talib and Uthman ibn Affan, in this order of succession.
None. Caliphs came to power in the Medieval Period. As for the Medieval period, the Caliphs were the leaders of the Muslim Empires called Caliphates. The four first Caliphs were called the Rightly-Guided Caliphs and they also had some religious authority in Islam. Because of the barbarity of the Umayyad Caliphs, the religious authority left the Caliphs and vested in the local Imams. Religious authority would return to the Caliphs in the mid-1500s in the Ottoman Empire until Atatürk abolished the Caliphate in 1936.

It depends on the Rightly-Guided Caliph in question.Abu Bakr and 'Ali (first and fourth caliphs) dealt with internal civil wars, so they were not primarily responsible for the expansion of the Islamic Caliphate. However, 'Omar and 'Othman (second and third caliphs) did fight numerous expansionary wars, throughout the Levant, Mesopotamia, Persia, and Egypt.
The Umayyad Caliphate came after the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs.
