The Conquest of Mecca was a battle at the city of Mecca, it started when Muhammad brought around 10,000 men to take Mecca. Frustrated by their refusal to accept Muhammad's teachings, he attacked the city in what became known as the Battle of Badr. Despite having an inferior number of men, Muhammad won, and conquered the city.
