Byzantine-Muslim War of 645-56

Years: 645 - 656

Renewed war with the Caliphate results in the loss of Cyprus and most of Armenia.

The Muslim onslaught towards Constantinople is halted following the outbreak of the First Fitna.

"We cannot be certain of being right about the future; but we can be almost certain of being wrong about the future, if we are wrong about the past."
