From Spain to Pakistan, the 8th century Muslim soldiers mounted upon camels and swift Arabian steeds conquered and administered an empire.
Students must know the extent of this map, which they sketched 10/14.
Symbols on the map were the sword-wielding warrior on camel or Arabian horse. The most significant region of their conquest was southern Europe: Espana. Muslim soldiers crossed the Strait of Gibraltar in 711 AD.
