How the Sassanian Empire Collapsed | Explained in 60 Seconds |

The Sassanian Empire once ruled over 6.5 million square kilometers under Khosrow II, but a long war with the Eastern Roman Empire weakened its economy and military. After the truce of 628, a new rising power emerged: the Muslim Caliphate. The decisive Battle of al-Qadisiya in 636 and the Battle of Nahavand in 642 shattered the Sassanian armies, leading to the fall of Ctesiphon and the collapse of Persia. With the death of the final emperor, Yazdegerd III, in 651, the Sassanian Empire came to an end.
