It reviews effects of the occupation of Khorasan after the Battle of Dandanaqan in 1040 and Seljuk expansion to the Middle East through the exploratory and interpretive analyses of regional rivalry between Seljuks and the other states in the Middle East such as Abbasids and Fathimids. Firstly, the paper presents a brief historical account of events. Then, it focuses on the questions of why Seljuks expand and move to the Middle East and what were the effects of Seljuks in the region between 1040 and 1194.  Then there will be the analyses of the role of the Seljuks in the Crusades, the relations between Seljuks and other states in the region and the effects of Seljuks on the other states in the Middle East. Finally, it concludes by the narrative of how a non-Arab state became a Middle Eastern power first, then how she became influential in the region.
