The Umayyad Empire made the Islamic Empire one of the largest empires in the world, at some point. When the Umayyad Empire was at it's highest, in 750 CE, it controlled many places like the Middle East, much of North Africa, Spain, and parts of India. The Umayyad Empire is estimated to have a population of 62 million, which at the time was equivalent to 30% of thw world. What led the Umayyad Empire to it's fall, in 750 CE, was many Muslims believing that the Umayyad Empire was not following or listening to the ways of Islam. This resulted in groups of people rebelling. Then, they created the Abbasid Empire. ]]> 2017-09-29 19:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahnopeisatschool/jva9c4opuaay/wish/192599665 sarahnopeisatschool https://padlet.com/sarahnopeisatschool/jva9c4opuaay/wish/192600503 2017-09-29 19:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahnopeisatschool/jva9c4opuaay/wish/192600503 sarahnopeisatschool https://padlet.com/sarahnopeisatschool/jva9c4opuaay/wish/192600635 Originally, the Ottoman Empire was founded in 1299, by Osman I, who was a leader of Turkish Tribes.
     Over time, the Ottoman Empire kept growing, and in 1453, they captured Constantinople. The Ottoman Empire made Constantinople the captial of the Ottoman Empire. Then, they renamed it   Istanbul. 
 The Ottoman Empire was at it's best when Suleiman was in control of the Ottoman Empire. In his time as leader (1520 to 1566), he expanded much of the empire. 
Sadly, the Ottoman Empire struggled a lot in the last 1600s. They were competitions about economy. Since the Ottoman Empire didn't have a good leader any longer, the empire was gone in 1923.

During the time of the Abbasid Empire, the people who were caliphs were either the son of the previous caliph, or if there was no son, the closest male family member to the previous caliph. The Abbasid Empire had two major important periods. From 750-1258 CE, and from 1261-1517 CE. The first period was considered the Golden Age of Islam, as there was a lot of improvement in areas of science and math, schools of higher education were being built, and  because it was peaceful. In 1258 CE, the Abbasids had to flee Egypt.
In the next period, Abbasids took control of their old empire. Here, they ruled until 1517 when the Ottoman Empire took over the Abbasid Empire. ]]> 2017-09-29 19:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahnopeisatschool/jva9c4opuaay/wish/192601106 sarahnopeisatschool https://padlet.com/sarahnopeisatschool/jva9c4opuaay/wish/192602303 2017-09-29 19:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahnopeisatschool/jva9c4opuaay/wish/192602303
