How The Fatimids Created The Only Shia Caliphate In Islamic History | History Documentary

With its roots in a movement that had been driven underground, the creators of this new Shia state had been moulded by the pressure of living in deserts and in secret. From its humble origins in Ifriqiya, it rapidly expanded across North Africa and the Middle East; in the process overshadowing their Abbasid foes. This is the history of the Fatimids.
