To be completely precise the muslims used to conquer almost everything in Iberia at some point because Gijon, which is in the Gulf of Biscaye, also had a muslim governor for some years prior to a great revolt in the North after Covadonga.

The reason why Muslims lost Iberia was because of the Great Berber Revolt, many Berbers were oppressed and received lesser pay, received dry and cold lands, when the Berbers revolted they abandoned their garrisons and went even back to Morocco, Algeria, this created a vacuum which the Christians filled with ease

Exactly Yo but what do you expect from a politically correct channel that wants to avoid offending muslim pride at all cost? On other channels they basically saying that al andalus became an industrial center and was a heaven for everyone

@@alejandrosotomartin9720 what everyone misses is that Don Julian , with pretender visigothic noble: witiza, wanted to overthrow the Roderic regime so went to Ceuta (Septa at the time) and went to ask the ummyyaadds for help. After guadalete, (which could had been avoided if the visigoths just alesian style the berber camp) the only resistane was in the walled cities by militias (not soldiers, MILITIA) and they resisted successfully, but the jewish communities (who suffered a lot under visigothic rule) opened the gates of the cities they were and like this it was a very fast conquest. That explain why jews were so well treated most of the time during muslim HISPANIA The real nature of muslim Spain is so different of what most people claim Asturias was too underdeveloped to have been conquered, mostly mountainous regions

That was before Theodoric allied Romans against Attila, but he was killed

At the time of the Muslim invasion of south France, Bordeaux was an independent land, ruled by Odo duke of Aquitaine . He have won the big battle of Toulouse , killing the Muslim leader. The lost for Muslims was so hard, that they made a peace time, and Odo marrying with a Berber princess. An he is at the source of the battle of Tours, by calling Charles Martel , who was a political enemy , against Muslim invasion of his lands.

In fact was a war hero. When he starts to rule the emirate was reduced to cordoba city itself. the peninsula was ruled by the muwalladum families: the yilliqui (galicians) of the lower march, the Banu Qasi (sons of Casio, a roman noble) in upper march, Ibn Hafsun in andalusia, the republic of pechina in the sharq al.andalus and the mozarabs of Tulaytula (Christians of Toledo) in the middle march. He reconquered all this regions and force the northern christian kingdoms to go backs north of the Duero river. Also creates a protectorste over north african morrocan kingdoms, as siyilmassa and to the muslim pirats of fraxinetum, amalfi, corsica and sardinia (they control cities in the coast, not all the islands)

But he is great, he convert a state surrounded by enemies, and was controlling only Cordoba , into a great state, with budget of 5 billion. And he did that when he was 21 years old, an age of college student today

Aha! The Caliphate of Córdoba collapsed because the Caliphate of Córdoba collapsed! (Also, those accents actually mean something)

Yeah. The local peasants didn't exactly take kindly to seeing their young girls enslaved for the nearest harem and expected to pay a jizya tax to boot.

You would date the "Reconquista" back to the first decades of the 11th century? How do you figure that?

@MB you don't know what what you're talking about. A fellah is a fellah (peasant) and if you were not muslim you were even less. Most people were extremly poor and illiterate and lived in the countryside. People living in cities with access to hamams were a small minority. There was nothing democratic about this society. That doesn't mean that up north things were better but yes, back then if you were not Muslim you had to pay. My ancestors in the Middle East have suffered quite a few things for being Christians. The history of minorities in the Middle East is the history of losers as Amin Ma'aloof said. It's not something inherant to this civilization: belonging to a minority anywhere in this world is a possible danger. Let's not be innocent and believe that racism is a western invention. You want racism, you'll find it anywhere.

@MB not true, we paid for protection and were better off converting. It's a gradual and very slow genocide of minirities. Don't whitewash your history. Muslims were better than the Spanish or English in the Americas but they were no angels. Anyway, have a good day brother and I am glad that you hate racism and consider all humanity as worth of respect.

Nice one, but You forget the Rasyidun Caliphates did unite all the muslim world after Muhammad. Abu Bakr, Ummar, Ustman, and Ali were the last caliphs who lead the United Umma before it was politically splited. It's not just Sunni and Shia rivarly, there are more factions after the Rasyidun Caliphates.

the sultan also is the patron of the caliph

@@simonpantermuller6997 Exactly like the ghaznavid sultan mahmud ceremoniosly recognised the caliph in baghdad as his overlord same with seljuks and other turkic dynasties. In fact, mamluks even brought over the caliph to their capital after the sack of baghdad. Caliph is a very powerful position cause if they recognise your rule it strengthens your legitimacy in your kingdom. Bit like the pope except not considered an intemediary between the worshipper and god

After Muhammad pbuh, it was the rasyiddun caliphate then the umayyad caliphate.

But what about the Ottomans? Didnt the ottoman sultans claimed and proclaimed to be caliphs of islam? What was their source of legitimacy?

There was a lot of marriages between Muslim leaders and Spanish princess. A classic thing in the low middle age, where a foreign conqueror create a link with the local population by marriage. And the reverse was true. This is why many Europeans kings and queens have the caliph Othman as far ancestor.

@@jean-louispech4921 Wait what??? European kings & queens related to caliph Othman .... You mean 3rd Rashidun Caliph Uthman or Ottoman Turkish dynasty...... Two different things my guy

@@EM-tx3ly Yes uthman the arab caliph married with daughters of Muhammed.... but from another woman.

@@jean-louispech4921 Well first time I have heard that though What are your sources and could you give me an example of an European Royal descending from Othman ibn Affan if possible

@@EM-tx3ly this is from genealogy of nobles in Europe . It is simple : the first caliph in Spain was a descendant of Uthman , an Omayyad. Along the generation s : caliphs and Arab elites takes some christian Spanish woman as wife, while some kings and nobles take some Arab women from the Omayyad family as wife. At the end you have the caliph Uthman among the ancestries of Spanish kings, queens, and nobles. And because in Europe you have a large network of wedding from Spain to Armenia for the nobles , from Italy to Norway, you have the Arab lineage spreading across all the christian Europe. Then this is why the Queen Elizabeth II has the caliph Uthman as ancestry, for example, from my genealogical source.

Yes I believe Grenada was the last of the Muslim kingdoms.

@@AAmed1980 Fell around 1400

Politics aside, its a shame nowdays many muslims are more close minded and actually anti semite than their medieval ancestors, which is saying a lot. And I am not only talking about anti jewish calls for expulsions in some muslim majority countries, but also total "anti every other religion´s" rights and freedoms """moderate""" islamist beheavior, as in Saudi Arabia, or limited freedoms at the very least as in Iran , Pakistan and Mauritania, and all of that even in the middle of the 21st century. I ironically got called an ignorant by self proclaimed "peaceful" muslims for saying that oppressing the rights and freedoms of others when nobody is being hurt while asking people to respect your own as muslims just because some people 1400 years ago told you to do so, is both not peaceful and hipocritical.

@@alexcorvuscazador5596 Muslims weren't anti semite 10 centuries ago. When Ottoman empire accepted refugees in 1494 they accepted Jewish refugees too. Salonica was know as "The Jerusalem of Balkans" because of the jewish population in the city during ottoman times. Even in the 19. century there wasn't a single clash between muslims and Jews. However after the Balfour Decleration and the Formation of Israel things have changed. Could you still avoid being anti-semite after being beaten for 70 years ? I think none could. Racism wasn't even a thing among muslims until 20. century (for example there wasn't a Turkish word for the n word untill 2010's because they didn't need to) but now we are getting anti semite. Actually not anti semite but anti-zionist however not everybody knows the difference between them.

@@medetbilalsarac4856 I literally said SOME MUSLIMS NOWDAYS and I also said POLITICS ASIDE, I am actually against the exile politics of Zionisim as much as I am against the same islamist based anti jewish exile ones,or any exile policy for that matter regardless of who it comes from and regardless against who it is applied to. I dont even know why I care to clarify anymore. Thanks for the historical data though.

@@alexcorvuscazador5596 Yeah I see and appreciate you dont want to get into politics. But there must be a reason behind this situation. I just wanted to point out that reason. You also mentioned the "radical islamists" thing. I would like to ask who are those? A few examples can be Taliban and ISIS. When we search their roots we see that ISIS is formed in the war torn Iraq and Taliban is founded by the Cia funded mujahadeen. There wasn't such extremists in Andalusia or Ottoman Empire. However unfortunately there are now and they are the consequences of past. I am a moderate Muslim Elhamdulillah. I appreciate your efford to being kind but I just want you to know those exteremists are a product of past two centuries. You should blame those who created them as well as them. At least I blame both.

@@medetbilalsarac4856 I am talking about terrorists like Isis, but also about other radical muslims who support non secular islamic regimes like Iran and Saudia Arabia which oppress and even have the death penalty for homosexuality, aposthasy, adultery and public worship of religions other than islam as if this were Medieval times, just because some guys 1400 years ago with a very different concept of "tolerance" told them to do so, radicals who for some reason label themselves as "peaceful" just because they are not terrorists, as if terrorisim was the only way to be a radical in any religion, even among muslims themselves Shias, Shiites and Sufi muslims also get oppresed. Its really impressive the double think abilities of some religious people to ask for their rights and freedoms to be respected as long as they dont hurt anyone,while not doing the same for others and calling the muslims who are against forced morals as "traitors", I even got called ignorant and rationed with dislikes once for saying that the support of forced islamic law through the penalization of critics of religion, gays, apostats and women who do not want to follow a specific dress code, among other examples, was not peaceful and hipocritical mainly because, like I said, they want their own freedoms and rights to be respected as muslims/religious people in general while not giving the same to others. As much as non religious "liberal" people should not force their morals on others when nobody is being hurt, neither should the religious people do it. Otherwise you get regimes like Iran and China who want to force either their religious or atheist "morals" on everyone. Those are the types of radicals I am talking about, islamists, not muslims as a whole of course. And yes some medieval muslims were more open minded in terms of religious tolerance, but even in the best cases total equal rights was not a thing and they still practiced some of the horrible acts I have mentioned, they were SOMETIMES as good as medieval people could be. If you want to help me I can give you the thread where I got rationed for saying innocents should not be stoned to death for their only "crime" being having hurt someones religious feelings, which somehow gets equalized to the level of a literal crime by these "moderate" animals. Ultra conservative and ultra liberal people have more in common than what they would ever like to admit.

Not indirectly, quite directly actually. In Spain we remember and study Almanzor since he was one of the most talented military commanders of our history, on pair with some of the best generals in golden century. However despite him being a militar genius, he was horrible at taking administrative decisions and dealing with social discontent. His brutal raids in Christian lands worked in favour of religious intolerance across the whole Iberian peninsula, making many Christians in Andalusian lands to flee and support Christian kingdoms, in same way, bringing Berbers who weren't used to the hispano Roman and then Andalusian ways, caused discontent and created issues in administrations, with lots of conflicts in villages. He also committed a huge mistake mixing rival tribes into his army units, because as long as they lacked a strong leader as he was, they would fight and cause civil war. Which is exactly what happened. And ultimately, he was so powerful that he took too much power and functions from administrative and Muslim religious institutions, meaning that after his dead, the duties were claimed by many and led to a massive lack of power, drastic Fall of tax collection and all the Caliphate collapsing

Andalusian society was divided into two groups: Muslims and non-Muslims, which in turn were divided into other groups. Within the Muslims, we had three groups: The Arabs were the owners of the land and the political elite were a small minority. The Berbers had arrived in the conquering army or migrated from North Africa later, they belonged to very different tribes, they dedicated themselves mostly to herding and many had a humble condition, although they were present throughout Al-andalus, their main settlements were in the Betic Cordilleras, especially in Sierra Morena. The muladíes were the majority of the population of Al-andalus, they were native Hispanics and Goths who had converted to Islam and spoke Arabic, they ranged from peasants to bourgeois doctors and lawyers. The main language of these three groups was Andalusian Arabic, a dialect that emerged from North African Arabic, with some Latin and Berber contributions, but highly Arabized. Non-Muslims were divided into two groups: The Mozarabs: they were Hispanic and Goth natives who had remained faithful to Christianity, they had also maintained Vulgar Latin, which evolved into a new language: Mozarabic, a Romance language that had many contributions from Arabic and some contributions from Hebrew. There were several dialects throughout Al-andalus, but they all made up the same language. The Mozarabic jarchas are very famous. The Jews were a small minority that held important positions such as doctors, lawyers, merchants or teachers, they had their own language, Judeo-Spanish, also known as Ladino, was a Romance language, a descendant of Latin, but they had many contributions from Hebrew and also certain contributions of the Greek since most of the medical books and laws of the time were written in Greek.
