1.	How did Caliphate break up in the Arab Empire? Explain.
Answer» Solution :From 9th century, the Abbasids state became weaker due to decline of BAGHDAD.s control over distant provinces and CONTINUOUS struggle between pro-Arab and pro-Iranian groups in the army and bureaucracy. In 810, a civil war broke out between the supports of two SONS (Amin and Mamum) of the Caliph Harun-al-Rashid. This war created a new power block of Turkish slave officers. For the orthodoxy of power, the Shias started competing with SUNNI. As a result of this, many new dynasties like Tahirid, Saminids and Tuluminds came into being. As a result of this, the Abbasid power got limited to the areas of central Iraq and western Iran. The Buyids captured Baghdad in 945 CE, which ended Abbasid supremacy.
