The Ottomans, or better known as the Turks Came to dominate most of Modern-day Turkey and invaded Constantinople. Their invasion of Constantinople ended the Byzantine Empire. The Ottomans renamed Constantinople as Istambul and made it their capital. The empire was one of the most religioulsy tolerant around at the time. The turks did capture janissaries though. Janissaries werwe young christian boys who were stolen to recognize the sultan and fight as warriors for the Ottoman empire. The Mepire attempted to capture Western Europe but could not succeed with more than Hungary because they couldnt get through Vienna.
The Safavids were the rivals of the Ottoman Empire. They were mostly concerned with military conquests. They had allowed for both the Sunnis and Shiites to live in their land but they were dominated by Shia Islam. they are located in modern-day Iran. the safavids became allies with Europeans against the Ottomans.
The Mughal Empire was created by Babur whom defeated the Delhi Sultanate. The empire united almost the entire subcontinent. there was religious toleration for Hindus and Islamics.The Hindu tax was eliminated and sati was abolished. Hindus were soon allowed in govt postions thanks to Akbar. Under Akbar the Mughal empire most definetly had a golden age. After Akbar however, religious toleration was ended and Jizya was unfortunetly reinstated.Hindus began to get prosecuted once again and Muslims and Hindus were separated yet again in about 1700.
The Ottoman Empire: They renamed the capital Constantinople to Istanbul and converted cathedrals into mosques (but they were still religiously tolerant). In 100 years, the land once part of ancient Roman Empire was under the Ottomans rule. This expansion led to religious persecution. Janissaries, or Christian children made into warriors , were used to conquer large territories. Under Suleiman I, the Ottoman Empire reached a golden age which went from 1520-1566. Taking advantage of the weakness of Hungary, they took parts of it and went on to conquering land in Austria. Vienna was the furthest West the Ottomans got, not going past territories of Byzantine influence. They lasted until 1922. Safavids: They were a centralized state (in modern day Iran) that was dominated by Shia Islam, often causing strife among them and the Sunni. Mughals: They united almost the entire subcontinent which is something that has never been accomplished to that extent. Hinduism and Islam were practiced openly at this time and the jizya on Hindus was removed. Akbar, leader at the time, tried eliminating sati and welcomed Hindus into governmental positions. After Akbar, the Taj Mahal was built, and religions toleration ended. the jizya was brought back and Hindu temples were destroyed. Europeans began arriving, and the British East India Company controlled trade in Bombay. They dominated trade in the region and Mughal emperor were annoyed by this but they permitted the trade for they thought of the Europeans as harmless.
the ottomans were founded by Osman Bey of the Turks and they took over Constantinople also known as Istanbul know in Byzantine. they conquered many regions held on by the old Roman empire and extended from Greece eastward to Persia, and into the Mediterranean to Egypt and North Africa. Religious persecution also started as Janissaries were made from Christian children and under Suleiman I, the empire experienced a golden age.
the Safavids were the eastern rivals of the ottomans. the state was based on military conquest and was run by Shiites. since it was located between ottomans and mughal, there was religious tension between the Shiite and Sunni societies.
Mughal empire was founded by Babur who claimed to be from Genghis Khan descendant. under akbar, they let Hinduism and Islam to be both practiced openly and women got more rights. under shah jahan, the hindus and Islam were seperated and religious toleration ended.
The Ottoman Empire one of the Islamic gunpowder empires rose to power when the Mongol Empire fell.The Ottoman Empire was founded by Osman Bay. The Ottomans made Constantinople their capital city, renaming it to Istanbul and converting cathedrals into mosques. The Ottomans were one of the most tolerant empires of the time; allowing other religions to be practiced such as the religion of the Jews and the Christians. The Ottoman empire conquered many lands while extending from Greece to Persia, and then all the way around the Mediterranean into Egypt and Northern Africa. As the empire grew, so did religious persecution. When Suleiman I came to power he built up the Ottoman Empire, encouraged the development of the arts causing the Ottomans to experience a Golden Age. The Ottoman Empire was one of the world's most siginficant empires because it lasted from before 1450 to 1922 and was able to develop as an empire and expand. The Safavid Empire is another Islamic gun powder empire that was based on military conquest and dominated by the Shia Islam. The Safavids were also the enemies of the Ottomans so there was always some sort of bickering or fuedling between them. The Muglam Empire is the last Gunpowder empire that dominated Indian for the next 300 years and was established by Babur in 1526. The Mughal Empire within 150 years was able to unite the entire Indian subcontinent. In the Mughal Empire, during the reign of Akbar from 1556 to 1605 a lot of changes occured. Jizya was eliminated and sati was in action to be eliminated. There was also religios toleration and the welcoming of the Hindus to government positions. This all resulted in a golden age of art, architecture ( Taj Mahal built) and etc. But this all changed when Shah Jahan came into power. Religious toleration ended, the jizya was reintated, Hindu temples were destroyed, the persecutions of Hindus started to take place and Europeans started to arrive.

The Safavids were rivals with the Ottoman Empire. However, they were more focused on their military conquests. They resided in modern day Iran. Most of the empire was dominated by Shia Islam, which constantly caused problems between the Shia and the Sunni.
The Mughal Empire was a very religiously tolerant Empire, under Akbar's rule. He let Hinduism and Islam be practiced freely throughout the empire and united most of the subcontinent. Under Akbar's rule, many positive accomplishments had be done, including giving women more rights (and getting rid of sati), the building of the Taj Mahal, and he also eliminated the tax on Hindu's. However, once Akbar's grandson, Shah Jahan, took over, religious toleration was put to a stop and the Muslims and Hindus were separated once again.

There were 3 different Gunpowder Empires. One of the empires was known as the Ottoman empire. The Ottomans were founded by Osman Bay, and they were also known as the turks. This was a very large empire, it stretched from Greece to Persia. They had even tried to conquer wester Europe, but never made it past Vienna. The second gunpowder empire was the safavids. The safavids main concern was a strong military. They were located in what is now today modern Iran. They are not famous for much, but are considered a gunpowder empire. The last gunpowder empire was the Mughal empire. The Mughal empire was lead by Akbar. Under his rule Hinduism and Islam were practiced openly in the state. The taj mahal was also built under the Mughals. After Akbar died, and his grandson,Shah Jahan took over, religious tolerance was ended between Islamics and Hindus.

Their were 4 main gunpower empires. These empires were the Ming, the Ottoman, the Mughal, and the Safavids. One important achievement from the Ming empire was the fact that chinese traditions became more valued, and they rebuilt a strong goverment. The Ottoman empire started the beginning of being religiously tolerant, and it made the Instanbul. The Mughal empire was very signifigant because it was where the Taj Mahal was built. The Mughal empires had sultans which was a ruler who had to be religiously tolerant. The Safavid empire was signifigant because it reformed the civilians aspects of life.
