Precisely 100 years after the death of Islam’s prophet Mohammad in 632, his Arab followers, after conquering thousands of miles of lands from Arabia to Spain, found themselves in Gaul (modern-day France), facing a hitherto little-known people, Christian Franks. There around October 10-11, in the year 732 one of history’s most decisive battles took place, demarcating the extent of Islam’s western conquests and ensuring the survival of the West!

The Safavid Empire ended with the death of it’s last ruler Ismail III who ruled from 1750 until his death in 1760. The Mughal Empire struggled with exhausting wars with the Maratha, internal strife, corruption, and revolts and fractured after 1719. The remaining loyal Mughal territory shrank throughout the next century and a half at the hands of the expanding British Empire and was finally absorbed into the British Raj in 1857. The last surviving Muslim Empire, the Ottoman Empire, collapsed in 1918 at the hands of the British Empire and it’s allies in the aftermath of World War I. On March 3, 1924 the institution of the Caliphate was abolished by President Mustafa Ataturk as part of his reform in creating Turkey as a secular state from the remnants of the collapsed Islamic multi-ethnic Ottoman Empire.
