Hard Question =)

Answer 1

The Umayyad Caliphate centered in Damascus was overthrown in AD 750 by the Abasids. They established the
Abbasid Caliphate in the new city of Baghdad.
Abd ar-Rahman I, a member of the Umayyad family accepted the leadership of the Spanish Muslims and made Cordoba his capital in AD 756. In time the Umayyad Caliphate came to rival the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad in splendour. He founded the great Mosque, which was enlarged by his successors and completed in 976 by Abu Amir al-Mansur. Cordoba grew rapidly under Umayyad rule. After Abd ar-Rahman III proclaimed himself caliph of the West in 929, it became the largest and most cultured city in Europe.
