Umayyad invasion of Georgia
From Warlike
Q6778561
The Umayyad invasion of Georgia, known in Georgian historiography as the Invasion of Marwan the Deaf took place from 735 to 737, initiated by the future last Umayyad caliph Marwan II against the Principality of Iberia. The goals of the campaign are disputed among historians. The Georgian historiography insists its main purpose was to finally break the stiff Georgian resistance against Arab rule, however, the Western historians such as Cyril Toumanoff, and Ronald Suny, view it as a general campaign directed at both the Byzantine Empire, who exerted its domination over Western Georgia, and the Khazars, whose repeated raids affected not only Iberia and the whole Caucasus, but had reached Arab lands all the way to Mosul in 730.
