17 HISTORICAL TURNING POINTS Under the first four caliphs, Muslims expanded and captured cities and provinces including Damascus and Jerusalem. Capital of the Islamic Empire was moved to Baghdad under the Abbasids (ruling family) Muslim advances into western Europe was stopped when Muslims were defeated in France at the Battle of Tours Bagdad later fell to a group from Northwest China --- Mongols
