You may read a post I wrote on the battle here.
They swept across continents with cavalry that struck like lightning and faith that fueled an empire. For years, the Umayyads expanded with stunning speed—conquering, converting, and reshaping the known world. But in 732, just outside the town of Tours in what is now France, they met a force that refused to run.
The Frankish army didn’t look like much—mostly infantry, barely armored, led by a warlord named Charles Martel. But what they lacked in flash, they made up for in discipline, grit, and timing. Martel didn’t just fight with swords—he fought with strategy. And his gamble at Tours would decide the future of Europe.
This wasn’t just a battle. It was a clash of empires, cultures, and destinies. Umayyad cavalry charged again and again, hoping to shatter the Frankish lines. But the Franks held, unmoving. Then came the counterblow—the moment chaos turned into collapse.
It was bloody, brutal, and decisive.
If Tours had gone the other way, Europe might have fallen under the crescent instead of the cross. This is not just a story of knights and spears—it’s the turning point that shaped Western civilization.
And now right wing juice in Israel are bombing mudslime scum to chase them here, and left wing juice in Europe are whining that we have to lets the mudslimes in.
