I begin with the story of Muhammad and the first 4 Caliphs. Then I explain the Umayyad & Abbassid Caliphates. I finish with modern colonialization of Africa and the Middle East, touching on the background history of ISIL. I collaborated with Tristan from 'Step Back History' to make this video, and he kindly submitted vocals for the last few minutes about Iraq, Syria, and ISIS.
