Praxis 5941 Practice Test Practice Question
During his reign from 768 to 814 CE., Charlemagne fought raiders of western Europe who nonetheless established lasting Muslim rule in which of the following regions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Charlemagne's reign did involve military campaigns against various groups, but the lasting Muslim rule established in Spain and Portugal (C) is significant. The Umayyad Caliphate conquered much of the Iberian Peninsula, leading to a profound cultural and religious influence that lasted for centuries.
Scandinavia (A) was not significantly impacted by Muslim rule during this period. Northern Italy (B) experienced various conflicts, but it was not predominantly under Muslim control. France (D), while part of Charlemagne's empire, did not experience lasting Muslim governance like the Iberian Peninsula did. Thus, only option C accurately reflects the historical context of Muslim rule during Charlemagne's time.
