The Battle of Yarmouk was a major battle between the Muslim Arab forces of the Rashidun Caliphate and the armies of the Roman-Byzantine Empire. The battle lasted for six days in August 636, near the Yarmouk River. The result of the battle was a complete Muslim victory which permanently ended Byzantine rule south of Anatolia. The Battle of Yarmouk is regarded as one of the most decisive battles in military history.

In order to check the Muslim advance and to recover lost territory, Emperor Heraclius had sent a massive expedition to the Levant in May 636. As the Byzantine army approached, the Muslims retreated from Syria and regrouped all their forces at the Yarmouk plains close to Arabia where, after being reinforced, they defeated the numerically superior Byzantine army. The battle is also considered to be one of Khalid ibn al-Walid's greatest military victories. It cemented his reputation as a great tactician and cavalry commander, and as one of the most successful commanders in history.

  • its actually 1000 muslims vs 200000 romans

  • You should do this on Broken Crescent, that Mod is sick.

  • @Jun0w13 read history ... brainwashed un educated man

  • I forget to mention that most of the Roman Byzantine army was from eastern europe, russians, georgians, armenians etc.

  • @boru1982

    Thats true, Arab records also say about the same numbers that th romans had about 100000 to 150000, I dont remember good, but what you don't mension is that you are not including the christian Arabs of the north (ghassanids and lakhmids kingdoms) who also fought with the roman army, they where also about 100000, so the total Roman Byzantine army was about 250000.

  • @Jun0w13 It happened in real life so you say it cant be.

  • @saddie15 If Romans had Republican military standard, then Romans will win this war.

    Befor muslim, has been a long extensive/ debilitating war, from 56 b.c. to 636 with Parthians and Sassanids.

    And the East Roman army in 7.century has been a half barbaric and poorly armed.

  • @funnyarabvids roman greeks :P

  • this is a crucial battle for islam if arabs lost this battle then there is no islam remains today.

  • Every Muslim warrior had 2 angels helping him to kill many crusaders or disbelievers.
