		In der Schlacht am Talas bei Taras siegte das arabische Abbasiden-Kalifat unter General Ziyad ibn Salih 751 über die unter dem koreanischen General Gao Xianzhi wieder nach Transoxanien vorgedrungenen Chinesen (Tang-Dynastie).

		Es war eine der Entscheidungsschlachten der Weltgeschichte (wenn auch erst im Nachhinein, da die militärische Niederlage an sich weniger schwer wog; zudem fand der Sieg keine große Beachtung bei den zeitgenössischen Chronisten), da der chinesische Einfluss zurückgedrängt wurde und der Islam Eingang bei den Turkvölkern fand und Zentralasien seitdem zur islamischen Welt zählt.
