The Battle of Constantinople, 718 A.D. Muslim Invasion into Europe Annihilated, Greek Fire, Land and Sea Battle,Europe Descends into the Dark Ages
With the repulsion of the Muslim forces, Europe’s Christian stronghold remained intact, unchallenged by any significant Muslim threat for centuries — until the fifteenth century’s tides shifted. This triumph, aided by Greek Fire, paired with the Frankish victory at Tours, decisively halted Islam’s advance, confining its western expansion to the shores of the southern Mediterranean.
Constantinople. August 717 - August 718 A.D.
Byzantine Forces: Unknown.
Muslim Forces: 210,000 Soldiers, 2,000 Ships.
