The Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughals were all powerful empires who shared some similarities and also had differences. In this essay, the empires will be compared and contrasted to each other.

Katherine DeLong Professor Lampley RSOC 184 December 10, 2015 Final Project During this quarter, we have discussed in depth the interwoven nature of race, nation, and religion. These three concepts have proven to be deeply intertwined, to the point of inextricability. In order to discuss one of the three categories, one must simultaneously consider the repercussions of the other two. This concept has become clearer throughout the course, and it has taught me a lot about how these facets interact.

This was to be the catalyst for the demise of a national church which was supported by the government and afforded stat protection.

QUESTION: Analyze how religion and belief systems generated conflict and reduced conflict within or among societies from 600 B.C.E. through 600 C.E. in the Middle East and the Mediterranean region. The Role of Religion in the Middle East and the Mediterranean (600 BCE - 600 CE).

The Ottoman Empire and the Mughal Empire were both profoundly influenced by social forces and conflicts, with social forces, particularly related to ethnicity, religion, and gender, playing a more profound role. These empires grappled with the introduction of new ideologies and ideas, such as nationalism and religious diversity, which posed significant challenges. While the Ottoman Empire faced conflicts from external threats, including European powers, the Mughal Empire experienced internal strife and religious conflicts. However, it was the social forces surrounding ethnicity and religion that had the most significant effect on these empires, shaping their adaptation and responses to the challenges they faced.
-Trends that characterized the First Era of Globalization include interludes of Vikings, Turkish, and Mongol peoples, integration of regional states, and inter-regional exchange of technology, crops, and diseases. From 1000 to 1500 C.E. rulership of societies changed from being controlled by large, central societies to being overrun by nomadic people like the Turkish and Mongols, but the political foundation that they laid helped to stimulate trade between regions and highly integrated them. They controlled the trade routes between societies. The government was mostly clan-based and one could attain a high office position based on merit and knowledge rather than kinship.
Religion was from that moment on neutralized and was not meant to unsettle relations between in the Empire. This is important, as it changed the view on religion in politics.

All four have to do with a supreme being ruling us. Deism, he says, accepts that there is a supreme intelligence, but “[it] does not interfere with creation” (2.3).

The twentieth century marked a major shift in power. European Empires began to weaken the development of independent states began. Specifically, the fall of the Ottoman Empire left nations like Turkey scrambling to find a national identity and British control over the East India Company was beginning to weaken by the 1930’s. During this time, people began to debate what the true definition of a modern society was. As seen in Iqbal’s poetry, “Revolution” and “Europe and Syria” and Kemal’s “Speech to the Congress of the People’s Republican Party,” in order for a society to truly be modern we must disregard our current mindset that either strictly disregards religion or strictly follows it.
