Few events have dramatically altered the course of world-history as
have the dynamic Muslim conquests of the seventh century. Aside
from the seizure of a large expanse of onetime Roman lands and the
cultural Arabization of millions of people, great wars have been
waged between Islam and the West--till the present. Yet ambiguity
abounds as to how and why these conquests were first originally
realized. This study seeks to ascertain the immediate factors
behind the conquests in general by deconstructing the all-pivotal
Battle of Yarmuk in particular. This paradigmatic battle is ideal
for extrapolating the root cause(s) of the conquests; for it was
primarily at Yarmuk that the Arabs suffered notable physical and
practical disadvantages--and yet still emerged triumphant. Thus
this engagement allows one to see well beyond the usual aspects of
military history--the physical and practical--and better appreciate
the more abstract factors that have fueled the events of world
history.
