The scope of Islamic conquest and trade in Europe is so wide that a large number of Islamic coins dating back to the 9th and 10th centuries have been found as far as Central Europe, Scandinavia (especially on Gotland, in addition to west of Sweden), England and Iceland. The first Umayyad and Abbasid empires dominated before and after 750 respectively. Born to be cute but piss me off and I'll duck you up mug. empires controlled a wider area than the territory the Romans ruled, and it was the expansion of the scope of conquest. they depleted the potential source of spoils, making trade increasingly a regulator of military priorities. Poor and lagging Western Europe does not attract them like Central Asia, with its rich Silk Road. The Umayyad did not return to Gaul after the defeat at the French city of Poitiers in 732, nor actively counterattacked the conquest of Spain and Portugal, which began in 718 and culminated in expelled the last Moors (and Jews) in.
