It was the beginning of Why v a process that rapidly gave rise to an Arab empire that stretched from Spain to India, const penetrating both Europe and China and governing most of the lands between thenm (see Map 9.2). In creating that empire, Arabs were continuing a long pattern of tribal raids into surrounding civilizations, but now these Arabs were newly organized in a state of their own with a central command able to mobilize the military potential of the entire population. The Byzantine and Persian empires, weakened by decades of war with each other and by internal revolts, continued to view the Arabs as a mere nuisance rather than a serious threat. But by 644 the Sassanid Empire had been de- feated by Arab forces, while Byzantium, the remaining eastern regions of the old Roman Empire, soon lost the southern half ofits territories. Beyond these victories, Muslim forces, operating on both land and sea, swept westward across North Africa, conquered Spain in the early zoos, and attacked southern France. To the east, Arab armies reached the Indus River and seized some of the major oases towns of Central Asia. In 751, they inflicted a crushing defeat on Chinese forces in the Battle of Talas River, which had lasting consequences for the cultural evolution of Asia, for it checked the further expansion of China to the west and made possible the conver- sion to Islam of Central Asia's Turkic-speaking people.

In 634, for example, a battle between Byzantine and Arab forces in Palestine resulted in the death of some 4,000 villagers The motives driving the creation of the Arab Empire were broadly similar to those of other empires. The merchant leaders of the new Islamic community wanted to cap- ture profitable trade routes and wealthy agricultural regions. Individual Arabs found in military expansion a route to wealth and social promotion. The need to harness the immense energies of the Arabian transformation was also important. The fragile unity of the umma threatened to come apart after Muhammads death, and external expansion provided a common task for the community While many among the new conquerors viewed the mission of empire in terms bringing righteous government to the peoples they conquered, this did not of jihad, mean imposing a new religion. In fact for the better part of a century after Muhammads death, his followers usually referred to themselves as "believers," a term that appears in the Quran far more often than "Muslims" and one that included pious Jews and Chris- tians as well as newly monotheistic Arabs. Such a posture eased the acceptance of the
