What is Muslim Iberia?

Answer 1Modern day Iberia is a peninsula in SW Europe which encompasses Spain, Portugal and others. Muslim Iberia would be an ancient empire I believe.Answer 2Muslim Iberia specifically refers to the period between 711 C.E. to 1492 C.E. when parts of the Iberian peninsula (now Spain and Portugal) were controlled by various Muslim States. From 711-1038, the Umayyad Caliphate was the only Islamic government in Iberia. Then the empire split into roughly 60 city-states (Taifas) for around 100 years. Then Muslim Iberia was conquered by the Moroccan Empires of the Almoravids and, after them, the Almohads. The Almohad Empire also broke down into city-state empires (Taifas) of which all except the Nazari Kingdom of Granada fell to the Christians by the 1290s.


How were treaties used to expand the Muslim empire without warfare?

The underlying claim of the question refers to a situation that never took place. Islamic Empires CONSISTENTLY used warfare to expand their borders, just like every other empire in history. Integration by treaty is a modern invention that did not come into the Islamic World until after European Colonization.The question likely confuses two different parallel issues: (1) the peaceful expansion of Islam as a religion, and (2) the militant expansion of Islamic Empires.The religion of Islam expanded peacefully in many instances because Muslim merchants or clerics would leave their homes in the Islamic Empires to conduct trade of evangelism with people outside of those empires. At that point, they would be able to proselytize and convert Non-Muslims in the Non-Muslim-majority state to Islam. In this way, the religion was able to spread in advance of the actual empires expanding. In this case, only the belief is expanding, not political territory controlled by Islamic governments.The Islamic Empires, however, expanded through warfare and destruction of the other states, statelets, empires, tribal territories, kingdoms, and principalities that stood in their way. This is no different than what any other empire did. The Islamic Empires, however, had a simple system for accession to citizenship, namely conversion to Islam. As a result, former enemies of Islamic conquerors would convert to Islam and then turn around to conquer other Non-Muslim neighbors and partake in their share of the booty.
