Events
By place
Byzantine Empire
- Bubonic plague in Asia Minor kills 1/3 of the population and subsequently sweeps through the Peloponnese (Balkan Peninsula) (approximate date).

- Carantania (modern Austria) loses its independence and becomes part of the Frankish Kingdom, due to the pressing danger posed by Avar tribes from the east (approximate date).
Asia
- China has accomplishments in poetry, painting and printing, but its monarchical system tends toward failure. Emperor Xuan Zong has fallen under the spell of his son's wife Yang Guifei (one of the Four Beauties of Ancient China), a Taoist priestess. He is ignoring the economy and the Tang Dynasty is declining.
- Newly founded Uyghur Empire control most of the former Turkish Empire territory, creating an empire that extends from Lake Balkash (modern Kazakhstan) to Lake Baikal (Mongolia) and is subject to Chinese suzerainty (approximate date).
