It should be noted that there is a difference between the Sunni and Shia interpretations of Islamic Theocracy. With Sunni Muslims believing in the rightfully guided caliphs (Rashidun) who were elected via consultation (Shura) following Muhammads death. Whereas Shiites reject this interpretation and instead believe Ali (the 4th Caliph) and his descendants are the only rightful rulers (Imamate).

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 directs, expanding the Islamic religion far and wide. After the collapse of the Rashidun Caliphate in 661, the Umayyad Caliphate was created. The Umayyads are mostly remebered 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.

Alongside the Abbasids, 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. It itself eventually collapsed into multiple smaller Islamic states. 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 in what is known as  Reconquista.

[[File:Ottoman.png]] Ottoman Caliphate [[File:Cball-Ottomanism.png]]
In the period after the fall of the Abbasids, the 'Caliphate' was given to the Ottoman Empire. From 1517-1924, 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.

[[File:Cball-Saudi.png]] Middle East Cold War [[File:Cball-Iran.png]]
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 Nejd and Hejaz, 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 it's 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.

[[File:PanArab.png]] Arab Spring [[File:Islamic Democracy.png]]
From 2010-2012 the Arab Spring begun. In almost every Arab country, revolts sprung up to depose dictators and monarchs all over the Middle East. This scared Saudi Arabia as it was an  absolute monarchy. Iran supported these rebellions in an attempt to get some allies, whilst Saudi Arabia supported the governments. The only exception to this was in Syria and  Iraq where  Iran backed the governments and  Saudi Arabia the rebels.

[[File:PanArab.png]] [[File:Cball-FSA.png]] Arab Winter [[File:Jihad-2.png]] [[File:Cball-Isis.png]]
Following the Arab Spring, mass violence occured throughout the Islamic World. This was known as the Arab Winter. Civil wars raged, violence increased, and jihadists  started taking land. This came to the benefit of the Islamic State which took over huge chunks of  Syria and  Iraq, declaring themselves a new Caliphate. They were promptly defeated in 2017 though.
