Hmmm massive plague, said major Empires having just wrapped up WW1 2 and 3 and obviously because Deus Vulted?
IF HERACLIUS DIDNT WANT THE EMPIRE TO BE WEAK MAYBE HE SHOULDN'T HAVE KILLED MAURICE AND RENEWED WAR AGAINST THE SASSANIDS
Also tbh, I'm kinda tired of people using such excuses as the Arabs getting lucky with their timing, making the actual fighting as Arab forces "mopping up" Persian/Byzantine forces when in reality the Arabs were almost always outgunned and outnumbered. It's basically making the Caliphate the "lucky" ones, downplaying the tactical and strategic skills of the Caliphs and Arab soldiers.
It reeks of Orientalism, in a sense.
