Umayyad invasion of Asia Minor (741)
Military campaigns, 741
The Umayyad invasion of Asia Minor in 741 was the last major Arab offensive, and one of the final attacks into Byzantine Asia Minor altogether, during the age of the Umayyad Caliphate. Continually weakened by plague, scorched earth strategies, and attacks by the Byzantine forces, the invasion ultimately ended in failure with severe losses for the Umayyads.
