AI overview

The Muslim conquests were a series of rapid military campaigns that took place in the 7th and 8th centuries CE, in which armies from the newly unified Islamic state expanded across the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe. This expansion fundamentally reshaped the political, religious, and cultural map of these regions and established Islam as a major world civilization.
