Fatimid conquest of Egypt
- ... that the Fatimid Caliphate prepared their conquest of Egypt in 969 through a long and patient propaganda effort, so that the actual conquest was swift and almost unopposed? Source: cf. last part of 'Fatimid propaganda in Egypt' for source sand quotes on the propaganda and the relative ease of the conquest, and 'Occupation of Fustat' for the brief and ineffectual opposition offered.
- ALT1:... that the Fatimid conquest of Egypt in 969 led to the foundation of Cairo and the move of the seat of the Fatimid Caliphate from Tunisia to Egypt? cf. 'Jawhar as viceroy of Egypt' and 'Transfer of the Fatimid court to Egypt' sections
