THE Battle That Stopped Islam From Taking Over Europe | History For Sleep
In the autumn of 732, two armies faced each other somewhere between Tours and Poitiers in central France. On one side: Charles Martel, the Frankish warlord they called The Hammer. On the other: an Umayyad force that had pushed north from Spain, through the Pyrenees, deep into the heart of Europe.
One of those battles you know. The other almost nobody knows. And the one nobody talks about might matter more.
This is the story of what actually happened in 732 — what the battle meant, what it didn't mean, and why the version you learned in school leaves out the most interesting parts.
Made for sleeping, thinking, or both.
