The Battle of Talas was a pivotal moment in history and one of the earliest engagements between Muslim and Chinese forces.
This battle involved the forces of the new Abbasid Caliphate, going up against a resurgent Tang Dynasty. Both empires wanted to secure their hold over Central Asia and its valuable Silk Road routes.
This episode discusses the origins of the two sides in this conflict.
