It is the year 732 AD, and the Umayyad Caliphate has reached its greatest extent, becoming the largest state in history until the rise of the Mongol Empire nearly five centuries later!1) The secret Abbasid movement in Kufa is under the leadership of Muhammad ibn Ali al-Abbasi, after Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah informed him of the call, thus transferring the movement's leadership from the Alawite house to the Abbasid house.2) The Eastern Roman Empire continues to decline after a series of defeats by Islamic states, though it managed to withstand two Umayyad sieges of the capital, Constantinople.3) The Lombard Kingdom controls most of the Italian Peninsula and has converted from Arianism to Catholicism.Its vassals include: the Duchy of Benevento and the Duchy of Spoleto.4) The Avar Khaganate has seen its influence wane in Central Europe, with the rise of the First Bulgarian Empire in Eastern Europe.
5) The Umayyad Caliphate is at its peak territorial extent, stretching from Sindh in the east to the Maghreb in the west, from Yemen in the south to Transoxiana and the Caucasus in the north. Meanwhile, an army under the command of Abdul Rahman al-Ghafiqi is advancing into the land of the Franks (Gaul).Its vassals include: the provinces of Gilan and Tabaristan, ruled by local governors with partial autonomy in exchange for tribute.6) The Kangar Union, a federation of Turkic tribes, has emerged following the collapse of the Western Turkic Khaganate.7) The Frankish Kingdom, under the leadership of Charles Martel, is marching to face the Umayyad army after the failure of Odo, Duke of Aquitaine, who has now sought Charles Martel's assistance.Its vassals include: the Duchy of Aquitaine.8) The Khazar Khaganate has succeeded in pushing the Bulgars westward to the Danube River and northward to the Volga River, and is now facing the migrating Magyar tribes from Central Asia.9) The First Bulgarian Empire has settled in the eastern Balkans along the banks of the Danube River.10) The Chalukya Empire controls most of the Indian subcontinent.11) The Kingdom of Aksum in East Africa has seen its influence decline after the unification of the Arab tribes and the Islamic Caliphate's control over land and sea trade routes in the region.
