Islamic Theocracy
This article is about the ideology. For the religion itself, see
Islam.
Islamic Theocracy, or Muslim Theocracy, also known as Islamism, is a 
culturally right, 
authoritarian and economically variable ideology. Political aspects of 
Islam are derived from the Qur'an, the Sunnah (the sayings and living habits of 
Muhammad), Muslim history, and elements of political movements in the Islamic world.
History
Three Caliphates
The first Islamic Theocracy is commonly thought to be the 
Rashidun Caliphate. It was founded in 632 after the death of Muhammad. But, before the Rashiduns, there was the 
Medina Islamic Government which was ruled by Muhammad. During the leadership of Muhammad, the Medina Islamic Government conquered much of pre-Islamic Arabia. After Muhammad died in 632, 
Abu Bakr became the first Rashidun Caliph. The Rashidun Caliphate would expand in pretty much all directions, spreading the Islamic religion far and wide. After the collapse of the Rashidun Caliphate in 661, the 
Umayyad Caliphate was created. The Umayyads are mostly remembered for conquering Iberia with the helps of the 
Berbers and Moors. After the Umayyads, Islam split into multiple Caliphates. The main one was the 
Abbasid Caliphate, which was eventually conquered by the 
Mongols in 1258, but came back into existence in 1261. The Abbasids were also the Caliphate that existed during the 
Crusades. The Abbasids lost their last lands in 1517, after which the title of 'Caliphate' was passed to the 
Ottoman Empire.
Iberia and Reconquista
Alongside the Abbasid Caliphate, there were a few split-off caliphates as well. Most notably was the 
Caliphate of Córdoba which existed in Muslim Iberia for a few hundred years, starting in 756. This caliphate eventually collapsed into multiple smaller Islamic states in 1031. This weakened the Islamic presence in Iberia and led way for the 
Catholics to crusade south and forcefully destroy the Islamic presence in the region, retake Iberia and reestablish Catholic authority in what is known as the "Reconquista".
Ottoman Caliphate
In the period after the fall of the Abbasids, the 'Caliphate' was given to the 
Ottoman Empire. From 1517 to 1924, the Ottoman Empire was also referred to as the 'Ottoman Caliphate' (though some people suggest they are different entities for some reason). The Ottomans were considered the head of Islam for centuries, especially after the 
Persian Empire fell into dissary, leaving the 
Shia version of Islam without an effective leader. The Ottomans went on a long period of decline however, officially collapsing in 1922 in the aftermath of their defeat in World War I. The Ottoman Caliphate would be officially dissolved two years later, with the title of 'Caliphate' now going to, well, nobody.
Middle East Cold War
After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, most of Arabia was conquered by 
al-Saud, the ruling family of 
Nejd. The went about conquering 
Shammar, a pro-Ottoman clan in the north, and 
Hejaz, a pro-British kingdom in the west. After these conquests, they established the 
Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd, which was recognized by the 
League of Nations as the 
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a few years later. Meanwhile, Persia was still collapsing. In 1925, the 
Sublime State of Persia was dissolved and the 
Imperial State of Persia was founded. In 1979, Persia collapsed due to the Iranian Revolution. In his place, the 
Islamic Republic of Iran was formed. Iran and Saudi Arabia became natural enemies as Iran represented 
Republicanism and 
Shia Theocracy, whilst Saudi Arabia represented 
Monarchism and 
Sunni Theocracy. This resulted in a cold war in the Middle East between the two over who was the rightful leader of the Islamic world.
