A golden age for al-Andalus

During the golden age of al-Andalus its political area bcame strong. They had many strong leaders such as abd al-Rahman. Al-Andalus also had a prosperous capital city called Cordoba. The golden age for al-Andalus political area was very similar to our government. We have a strong leader named Barack Obama. Also we have a great capital city called Washington D.C. As you can see al-Andalus and america are very alike.
Al-Andlaus had a great economy during the time it was at its peak. Cordoba had many markets and sold many kinds of goods. They also traded with other people who helped their economy a lot. Their econonmy is the opposite of our econonmy. We owe people lots of money. When Cordoba had the great economy they were able to maintain power and have powerful armies to conquer other lands. The econonmy played a great role during there golden age.
The culture of al-Andalus was very free because they would let conquered lands follow their own religion. Also al-Andalus were nice to the jews too and did not exacute them. This culture is kind of like America because in America you are free. You can folow any religion you want to. Letting conquered lands do this helped al-Andalus to have control for a long time and nobody wanted to rebel. There culture did many things for them.
The technology of al-Andalus had many wonderful ideas. There was a doctor named Al-Zahrwi who created an encyclopedia. This encyclopedia taught people how to operate on someone, how to take pull teeth out, and how to take care of kids. Also there was a mathmatician who knew how to biuld an accurate calendar. The great ideas of al-Andalus were turned into better ideas as time passed. We prbaly use some of their ldeas.
