The first war between Muslim and Christians # short #bizarre #history

Do you know when the first war between Christians and Muslims occurred and what happened? The first war between these two big religions happened in 629. It all started when the Muslim prophet Muhammad sent a messenger to invite the Byzantine Empire to Islam, but the Byzantine governor killed that person. In response, Muhammad sent an army to fight against the Byzantines. The Muslim army was much smaller, with 3,000 soldiers, while the Byzantine army had 200,000 soldiers. Almost three crucial leaders from the Muslim army were killed in the battle, but then Khalid bin Walid took charge. He devised a clever strategy and used different flags to confuse the Byzantines. The Muslims launched a strong attack and managed to defeat the Christians partially. However, because of the large number of Byzantine soldiers, Khalid decided it wasn't smart to continue the battle and return to Medina. The Byzantine army took no further action because they had too many casualties. #history #ancient #muslim #war
