The Abbasid Caliphate


- Abbasid caliphate is an hereditary regime;
- it is characterized by military expansion.
- a movement spread between ALIDI and KHARIGITI for rights and equality. In the Iranian area there were lots of alliances with the Persians.

--> fights between clans allied with the government and clans of the Alidi and Kharigiti.


RELIGION
The Turks – coming from central Asia – are converted to Islam. Before they were Buddhists: they used to have a previous faith that needed to be adapted to Islam.

Religious expansion
in Central Asia, but the mythology of unity of Islamic culture is now over.
Under Abbasid caliphate there is more input from outside. They take more TURKS to work in the army -> Military leaders are Arabs and there are Turks in the army.

SYNTHESIS and important link between tradition and modernization

e.g. Baghdad school of translation -> Convergence of all these civilizations.
