Yazid's reign was heavily smitten with internal and external conflicts. Numerous civil wars began to break out in different parts of the empire such as Spain , Africa and in the east. The heavy handed response by the Umayyad ruler did not help matters, and anti-Umayyad groups began to gain power among the disaffected. This would allow groups such as the Abbasids to begin building a power base that they would later use to topple the Umayyads in CE 750 . Yazid II would die in 724 of Tuberculosis . He was succeeded by his brother Hisham . |
