Islamic World 15th-17th Century

Compare the histories of the three “Gunpowder Empires” (Ottomans, Safavids, Mughals); look at their founders, the factors that facilitated their growth, their government structures, their social hierarchies, their historical development; find similarities and differences.

Make sure you balance the history of the three empires with highlighting their military organization, their political structures, their social hierarchies etc. And while tracing the histories themselves, it’d be better to cover their entire trajectories, from the founding/expansive phase to the classical period to their ‘decline.’ The crucial element here is the comparative one. Try and highlight similarities, parallels and differences.
