The battle occurred during the [[Second Fitna\|Second Muslim Civil War]] and was part of the larger struggle for control of Iraq between the [[Bilad al-Sham\|Syria]]-based [[Umayyad Caliphate]], the [[Kufa]]-based pro-[[Alid]] forces of [[Mukhtar al-Thaqafi]], and the [[Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr#Revolt\|Mecca-based caliphate]] of [[Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr]]. It ended in a rout for the Umayyads and the expansion of Mukhtar's rule into the region of Mosul.
