Umayyad siege and blockade of Carthage

The Umayyad siege and blockade of Carthage marked a pivotal moment in the struggle for control over North Africa. Following the expansion of the Umayyad Caliphate, the city of Carthage became a strategic target due to its historical significance and its role as a center of Byzantine power in the region. The siege was characterized by a well-coordinated military campaign that involved cutting off supply lines and employing various siege tactics to weaken the defenses of the city. The Byzantine forces, tasked with defending Carthage, faced significant challenges, including dwindling resources and the inability to receive reinforcements from other parts of the empire. This situation ultimately led to a decisive confrontation between the two forces.
