Note: There were a couple of mistakes for some cities such as Kufa and Baghdad which are incorrectly located (maybe for other cities too). Also I could've used a different paint scheme for the Visigoths but it is whatever.

Mauretania was added to the Byzantine empire around 590, reconnecting Tingitania(of the two Spains) to Africa. Also, the Rashudins/Umayyads didn't just conquer and annex the whole Sahara desert upon conquering Egypt and Africa. Expansion south was gradual over the following centuries. There were many tribal kingdoms and confederations, some were at times clients, at times enemies, etc.

Look how the Roman Empire resisted. Anyone else would have fallen dead! This video proves that this state cannot be called “Byzantium”. This proves that there was no Byzantium, it was a state with absolutely Roman genetics. And if you consider that it was Islam that turned this empire into 90% of the coastline mediterranean seas, into a local country the size of Turkey, then you can go crazy. The fantastic great Roman Empire was reduced to small borders precisely by Islam. And in one breath. This is simply incredible, but it is an absolute fact.

The romans didn´t lose because of exhaustion - in fact the romans were in their prime shape with reinforced borders and a battlehardened veteran army under competent and experienced generals. The romans lost because the muslims were better and more maneuverable. The roman heavy cataphracts couldnt cope with arab light cavalry speed and morale. You made an entire video and didnt mention anything but excuses for why romans lost. But i guess the saying is true that losers bring excuses while winners bring results.

@@nazeem8680 You can't compare last roman-persian war to the arab wars. Persians and Romans fought a total war for two decades. War exhaustion was enormous. Even basic lifetime items like currency of the era are marked by this conflict. Romans had hexagrams, small coins with inscription "May God help the Romans" a symbol of desperate defense against Sassanids. Also Romans did not fully recovered from plagues of the 6th century. Muslims fought on one front while Romans and Persians had warlike neighbors. Plenty of Roman offensive campaigns were halted due to another tribal invasion. Muslims were lucky. With prime Heraclius and Persians Islam would become a local Arabic religion.

You must realize that all these silly explanations you come up with are cope and excuses and anecdotal evidence. You still cant come up with a definiton of what "exhaustion" in war even means. The arabs were also hid by plague, the arabs had war for 30 years prior aswell, fighting each other and with persians and byzantines in their wars. why were they not exhausted aswell?? there is nothing called exhaustion in international politics. if anything, war gives you military experience and strenghtens your armies and give you experienced commanders. Muslims didnt fight in one front. muslims fought in 3 fronts: persians in the east, byzantines in the west, Khazars to the north. so no, arabs didnt fight in one front.

Byzantines are not exhausted if they are able to field 3 field armies to defend syria, and another army to defend egypt, plus garrisoning all the major cities. your argument makes no sense if you actually study the war.
