Third season of the Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Early Muslim Expansion starts with the aftermath of the battles against the Sassanid and Eastern Roman empires at Yarmouk and alQadisiyyah (   • Early Muslim Expansion  Khalid, Yarm...  ) and battles of Ctesiphon, Alexandria, Nikiou, Jerusalem, Sufetula, Heliopolis, and Nahavand (   • Early Muslim Expansion  Arab Conques...  ). We are going to cover the aftermath of the beginning of the First Fitna (Civil War) in the Rashidun Caliphate (   • First Muslim Civil War  Early Muslim...  ) and the battle of Siffin of 657, which led to the rise of the Umayyad Caliphate (   • Battle of Siffin 657  Rise of the Um...  ), external expansion continued with the siege of Constantinople in 674678, but this didn't stop the Second Fitna from happening, leading to the battles of Karbala (680) and Marj Rahit (684) (   • Constantinople 674–678 and Marj Rahit...  ). We also previously talked about the conclusion of the Second Fitna and the rise and fall of the Zubayrid Caliphate (   • Second Civil War in the Caliphate  E...  ). In this episode the armies of the Caliphate return to the frontiers, clashing with the crumbling Byzantine Empire in Armenia and North Africa. In the latter, they would not find opposition not just in the Roman remnant, as the rise of a new warrior queen among the Berbers posed a serious challenge to Hassan ibn alNu’man’s conquering army in the Maghreb. And even as the Umayyads won victories on the battlefield and expanded ever further, the cohesion and unity of their empire continued to deteriorate on their Eastern frontiers, planting the seeds of their eventual collapse. And we will also discuss how Carthage was razed once again.
