What is battle of dongola?

The Battle of Dongola was a military engagement that took place in 652 AD between the Arab Islamic forces led by Abdallah ibn al-Zubayr and the Nubian forces led by an unknown leader in the region of Dongola, located in modern-day Sudan. The Islamic forces were seeking to expand their territories and extend their influence in the area.

The battle was fought on the banks of the Nile river and resulted in a decisive victory for the Arab Islamic forces, who managed to defeat the Nubian army and capture the city of Dongola. As a result, the Arab Islamic forces established their authority over the region and imposed their religion and culture on the local population.

The Battle of Dongola was significant in that it marked the beginning of the Arab Islamic incursions into the African continent and was one of the first major military confrontations between the Arabs and the Nubians. The battle also helped to establish the Arab Islamic dominance in the region, which continued for many centuries to come.
