The Battle of Tours (10 October 732)[8] – also called the Battle of Poitiers and, by Arab sources, the Battle of the Highway of the Martyrs (Arabic: معركة بلاط الشهداء, translit. Ma'arakat Balāṭ ash-Shuhadā’)[9] – was fought by Frankish and Burgundian[10][11] forces under Charles Martel against an army of the Umayyad Caliphate led by Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, Governor-General of al-Andalus. It was fought in an area between the cities of Poitiers and Tours, in the Aquitaine of west-central France, near the village of Moussais-la-Bataille, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Poitiers. The location of the battle was close to the border between the Frankish realm and the then-independent Duchy of Aquitaine under Odo the Great. The Franks were victorious. Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi was killed, and Charles subsequently extended his authority in the south. Details of the battle, including its exact location and the number of combatants, cannot be determined from accounts that have survived. Notably, the Frankish troops won the battle without cavalry.[12]

Government sanctioned violence under Mao was interpreted by Mao as necessary to preserve the state of continuous revolution, in which China would continue to evolve and shed the shackles of its dynastic past. Although violence was used against political opponents, Mao was more secure in his power and there was not as much threat of overthrow. Mao's main objective in his violent projects, such as the Cultural Revolution,was to keep China from achieving stability and the complacence that may have came with it. Although misguided, his intention was for a new China, united under the doctrine of Communism and with a desire to start fresh, to emerge. Stalin mainly used violence as a tool for suppressing dissent and consolidating his power. He did not want to cause disorder through violence, which was a secondary objective for Mao, but wanted to make sure that no one could challenge his dominance in the USSR. He sent political opponents to gulags or had them killed for the sake of making them disappear, while Mao often sent people in the party to internment camps for "reeducation", only to call upon them later to serve in the government.
