	Baghdad
		Baghdad is situated on the Tigris river, at 33.33°N, 44.44°E. The city was founded in 762 by the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur, replacing Damascus as the capital of a Muslim empire stretching from North Africa to Persia.
		Baghdad's early meteoric growth slowed due to troubles within the caliphate, including relocations of the capital to Samarra (during 808-819 and 836-892), the loss of the western and easternmost provinces, and periods of political domination by the Iranian Buyids[?] (945-1055) and Seljuk Turks (1055-1135).
		In 1534, Baghdad was conquered by the Ottoman Turks.
