756| 756 | Arab Caliphate, Spain [political events] | The Moors in Spain break away from the Abbasid caliphate to form an independent emirate under Abd-ar-Rahman I, one of the few survivors of the Abbasid caliph Abu-al-Abbas's massacre of the Umayyad family in 750. He makes the southern Spanish city of Córdoba his capital. This marks the beginning of the break-up of the political unity of the Muslim world which has endured since the time of Muhammad, the prophet and founder of Islam. |
