Explain why the Arab invasion of 710 and 711 was so successful. To answer this question, you must first understand the difficulties confronted by historians in discovering the truth of the Arabs' early invasion. The range is 1,700 to 9,000. In addition to the short story of the Spanish Chronicle of 754, there is a lack of contemporary evidence, an important Islamic administrative document of the time, and several archaeological remains.
By the year 7 AD, the Arab Islamic conquest occupied the majority of North Africa. In 711, the Islamic Berber conquest party led by Tariq Ibn Ziad was dispatched to Iberia to intervene in the civil war in the Kingdom of Visigoth. It is said that Tariq's army includes about 7000 Berber cavalry and Moussa Ben Nosal dispatched an additional 5000 troops after conquest. Through the Strait of Gibraltar, they won a decisive victory in the summer of 711. There, on July 19 the King of the West Gothic Rodrick was defeated at the battle of Guadaletto and was killed.
In this case, the patriotic commander Tarik Ibn Zidoff, a patriotic strong patriarch who was stationed in Tangier, crossed the Strait with the Arab forces and the Berbel army in 711. Most invasion forces are 15,000, and Berbers and Arabs act as "elite" troops. On April 29, 711, Ziyad landed on the rock of Gibraltar. On July 19, 711, after defeating the army of King Rodrick on the Guadarete River, the Muslim army caught up one by one in the cities of the Gothic Kingdom. The capital city of Toledo surrendered to peace. Some of them respected them through the agreement and the local nobility kept a certain proactive impact.
