The political and social situation in the time of Al-Mansur al-Dawaniqi was massively influenced by cultural interactions and contacts between Arabs and conquered territories including [[Iran]] and [[Rome]]. Iranian culture was the dominant culture and their political structures were changed similar to Iranians' structure. Al-Mansur managed to suppress numerous uprisings and then he focused on stabilization of power. Similar to Sassanid kings, Al-Mansur had complete power over all governors, ministers, judges and emirs. | The political and social situation in the time of Al-Mansur al-Dawaniqi was massively influenced by cultural interactions and contacts between Arabs and conquered territories including [[Iran]] and [[Rome]].

In the time of Al-Mansur, social situation became different. As Arabs humiliated [[Mawali]]s (freed servants) and consequently the movement of [[Shu'ubiyya]] started. National and social traditions revived in Abbasid era among government officials and people.
