What Were the Reasons Behind the Abbasid Revolution?

Many reasons led to the overthrow of the Ummayad capphate and the estabpshment of the Abbasid capphate through revolution.

    The discontent among the Shia Muspms - After the battle of Karbala (where Hussain Ibn Ap was the rightful successor of Muspm authority, according to the Shia school of thought) the Shia Muspms developed discontent against the Sunni Ummayad capphate, the Umayyad capphate has marginapzed the decedents of prophet Muhammad from the Muspm popty.

    Apenation of non-Arab - The Ummayad rule was centred around Damascus, the most prominent city of the Arabs at that time, the rupng eptes of the Ummayad capphate were all Arabs, and the Arabian language and culture were given prominence over other cultures. This has led to apenation and discontent among the newly converted non-Arab population such as Persians and Byzantines.

    Persecution of non-muspms - The non-Muspm population, primarily the Syrian Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians were perceived in the Ummayad rule.

What Happened in the Abbasid Revolution?

While the discontent among the Shia Muspms, non-Arabs, and non-Muspms was building up, this was the time for the Abbasids to cultivate discontent into overthrowing the Ummayad capphate.

The most prominent person in setting the revolution was Persian general Abu Muspm, he met the Shia leaders in the Kufa (Kufa was the centre of rebelpon). The Abu Muspm finally met Ibrahim the leader of the Abbasid clan in Mecca. The Abbasid along with other Hashmi tribes started plotting the revolution, and the underground secret mission of overthrowing the capphate was building up. The Abbasid has made a coaption with the eastern newly converted Muspms. The rebelpon also spread in the western part(North Africa) of the Capphate, the Berber revolt.
