Yes
No
Uncertain
Maybe
Answer
Contrary to popular belief, no new territories were acquired during the reign of Yazid I. Despite several campaigns and battles against the Byzantine forces, particularly the notable Battle of Sebastopolis, the conquests initiated during Muawiyah I's reign were solely consolidated under Yazid's rule. This period primarily focused on maintaining control over the existing territories and addressing the internal dissent that emerged during Yazid's caliphate.
