The cumulative European invasion of the Americas in the fifteenth century and after was one of the key shaping factors of the modern world.

It was the misfortune of these peoples that they were destined to clash with foreign adventurers equipped with a superi…

Seljuks, Mongols and Ottomans
The Abbasids had been the most glorious dynasty in the history of the caliphate; but now, as they came increasingly under foreign sway, their power was dissipated as the empire began to fragment. The Isma'ilians (Ismailis or 'Seveners') had spread throughout the empire their message that the son (Mohammad) of Ismail (the seventh descendant of Ali, the Prophet's son-in-law) would return as the Mahdi. Secret cells were formed to spread the word to …
