A Pivotal Day in Western Civilization

On this day 1,275 years ago, The Franks under Charles Martel defeated Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi at the Battle of Tours. Of course the battle had a few longstanding effects, particularly in that the battle led to:

• Christian domination of Europe;
• The holding of Muslim influence in Western Europe no further than the Iberian Peninsula;
  
• Establishment of the Frankish Kingdom, the forerunner of the Kingdom of France;
• The reign of Charlemagne and the Birth of the Holy Roman Empire;
• Basically, the birth of Modern Europe
  

So yes, all of western civilization as we know it owes its existence the events at Tours. Yet, I wonder how many students get taught the importance of this battle in their studies?
