The condensed history of Islamic civilization is a story with three main chapters: (1) the initial rise of an immense empire rivaling Charlemagne's, (2) a period of cataclysmic struggles between the Crusaders and their opponents, and (3) the capture of Constantinople in 1453.
The subcategories here are chiefly based on Dynastic affiliations.
