111 years is a short period for an empire to grow several times its original size. Most empires throughout history have expanded their frontiers to the point of growing several times their original size only after centuries and many conflicts with other political entities.

The period 622-733 saw the expansion of an empire that grow very rapidly: the Islamic Empire. It started in 622 under the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad, who conquered the entire Arabian Peninsula. It continued growing after his death in 632, under the rule of the Caliphs who conquered the Persian Sassanian Empire and many territories of the Byzantine Empire in the Middle East and Egypt. The Omayyad Caliphate established in 661 conquered the rest of North-Africa and the Iberian peninsula in the west and got to the border of India to the East. All these territories were conquered in the lapse of a century, which represents a very fast expansion based on the power of military strategy and religious faith.

How do government policies affect the free market economy such as the U.S economy ?
Musya8 [376]
Government policies affect market economies in numerous ways. The largest areas of government intervention in the economy are through Fiscal and Monetary Policy. Fiscal Policy is when the government decides to use revenues obtained through taxation to influence the economy. An example of this is when the US Government bailed out failing financial institutions in 2008 after the financial collapse by using citizens tax dollars to influence the economy. Monetary policy is when the government uses control of the money supply to influence the economy. An example of this is when the US Government buys or sells U.S. Treasury bonds at different rates to increase or decrease the amount of money in supply which influences interest rates and the overall economy. Another example by which the U.S. Government influences the "free market" is by imposing tariffs and quotas on US imported goods. These are essentially barriers or taxes on goods entering the U.S. Market. An example of this could be a 5% Tax on (x) good that is imported from China.
