The disintegration of the Abbasid state resulted in the emergence of numerous Islamic states controlled by Turkic peoples. Long before the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate in 1258, the Islamic world split into a number of smaller successor states, most of which were dominated by Turkic ruling classes. In the thirteenth century, some examples of such states included the Delhi Sultanate of India and the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt. Despite the disintegration of the Abbasid Caliphate, Islam continued to spread across Afro-Eurasia in the period 1200-1450 primarily because of which of the following? - The activities of Sufi missionaries Correct. The activities of Sufi missionaries were the largest factor in the further spread of Islam across Afro-Eurasia in the period 1200-1450, as Sufis won new converts in places such as Anatolia, Central Asia, India, and Southeast Asia where Islam had already been introduced.

Some African states' religious traditons continued to be influenced by cultural transfers dating back to earlier centuries. - Correct. Ethiopia provides a good example of a cultural continuity—Christianity—being used as the basis for state building in Africa.
