The Abbasid Revolution was a significant uprising that took place in the mid-8th century, leading to the overthrow of the Umayyad Caliphate. It was primarily driven by dissatisfaction with the Umayyad rulers, who were seen as favoring Arab elites over non-Arab Muslims. The revolution was led by the Abbasid family, who claimed descent from the Prophet Muhammad's uncle, Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib. Following their victory in 750 CE, the Abbasids established a new caliphate centered in Baghdad, which became a cultural and intellectual hub of the Islamic world. The revolution marked a shift towards a more inclusive governance, allowing greater participation from diverse ethnic groups within the Muslim community.
