The Treaty of Batman was an agreement made to re-establish order in the Middle East after the Abbasid Caliphate and Ottoman Empire, also known as the Dynamic Duo destroyed the Gurkani Sultanate in the Second Arab-Persian War, also known as the Cloaked Jihad or, in corrupted translations, as the Caped Crusade. It was signed between representatives of various Muslim nations in the city of Batman, in the eastern Ottoman Empire.
