The major event that halted Muslim expansion into Western Europe was the Battle of Tours (also known as the Battle of Poitiers), which took place in October 732. This decisive battle saw Frankish forces, led by Charles Martel, confront and defeat the Umayyad forces commanded by Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi. The victory at Tours is often credited with stopping the northward advance of Islam into Europe from the Iberian Peninsula and is considered a pivotal moment in European history, as it helped to shape the religious and cultural landscape of the continent.
