Achievements of Islamic Civilization

As Islam spread to many different lands, a distinctive Muslim culture developed. Muslims in different regions combined Arab culture and Islam with the Persian, Byzantine, Indian, and other cultures that existed before the coming of Muslim rule. Muslim scholars shared ideas and learned from Christian and Jewish scholars. Together, they studied ancient writings from Greece, Persia, and India. This collaboration led to advances in science, mathematics, philosophy, medicine, and the arts.

The Crusades

In March 1096, farmers in northern France paused in their plowing to listen to a distant roar. It was the sound of a vast crowd of people singing hymns and calling others to join them. The farmers watched the approaching mob of peasants, some 20,000 strong, led by a man dressed as a hermit. The farmers immediately knew who he was. For months, Peter the Hermit had been calling on all Christians to join his fight to free Jerusalem. His preaching had inspired thousands to follow him. Like so many others before them, the farmers left their fields and became part of Peter the Hermit’s army.

The Crusades, a series of military campaigns to establish Christian control over the Holy Land, had begun. Over the next few centuries, wave after wave of peasants, soldiers, and kings would travel from Europe to the Middle East in pursuit of this goal. Their campaigns would reshape both Europe and the Middle East.

The Reconquista

By the early 700s, Muslims ruled most of the Iberian Peninsula, the peninsula where present-day Spain and Portugal are located. Under Muslim rule, a culture of great diversity developed there. Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities exchanged knowledge and customs. But the political situation on the peninsula was unstable. Christian kingdoms waged a long campaign against the Muslims. In 1492, Spain’s multicultural society was finally swept away.

Origins and Beliefs of Islam

Today, Islam is the world’s second-most widely practiced faith, after Christianity. It emerged in the 600s in one of the harshest climate regions in the world.

If you were visiting any Muslim city in the world, you would likely wake up at dawn hearing the call to prayer chanted from one of the city’s houses of worship. In Arabic, you would hear “God is great. I bear witness that there is no God but God. I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God. Come to worship.” This call contains the most important beliefs of Islam—belief in one all-powerful God, and belief that Muhammad was God’s final messenger to human beings.

England Takes Shape

On Christmas Day in 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, was about to be crowned king of England at Westminster Abbey, near London. But William and his Norman knights were nervous. They had just seized power and were afraid of an uprising. When the English crowds outside began to cheer, the Normans misunderstood and panicked. They attacked the people and set fire to nearby houses.

Inside the great coronation church, the ceremony continued. As the crown was placed on William's head, the firelight from the burning houses flickered over the church walls. It was a fitting coronation for a warlord who had gained power by sword and flame.

Conflict Between Popes and Monarchs

Charlemagne was able to unite much of Western Europe. After his death, however, his empire split apart. The collapse of Charlemagne’s empire left Western Europe open to invasion. It also led to the development of a new system of life called feudalism.
