History
Abbasid Caliphate
In 750, Abul Abbas As-Saffah founded the Abbasid Caliphate after deposing the Umayyad dynasty, becoming the empire's first caliph.[1] As steward, As-Saffaḥ conducted campaigns eastwards to the Western Regions, entering into conflict against the Tang dynasty.[2]
As-Saffah died in 754 after ruling for a few years and was succeeded by his brother al-Mansur. In 762, As-Saffah conducted a reconnaissance of a region in what is now central Iraq and chose a fertile plain by the Tigris river, founding a new city called Baghdad, expanding the nearby the village and making it the new capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. al-Mansur named the city core as al-Mansur after himself, while the city also came to be known as Madinat al-Salam (the city of Peace), or Round City.[3]
