HISTORY EXAMPLES

Mughal Empire:

Trade in the Mughal Empire contributed to the economy of the Mughal Empire by creating trading commercial hubs such as Lahore and Delhi. These commercial hubs helped contribute to the growth and development of the economy by being strategic locations and having established trading centres where merchants could trade their goods. Trade helped develop merchant communities and networks in the Mughal Empire, these merchant communities helped stimulate the economy by trading goods in and out of the region. Trade helped provide a global market for Mughal Empire goods such as rice, sugar, indigo and textiles, The exporting of these goods helped form new trading networks with other empires while stimulating the empire’s economy at the same time. Trade helped the Mughal Empire’s economy by being a big source of income and revenue for the empire. All of these developments led to the Mughal Empire being an influential trading partner in the world. 

Roman Empire:

Roman Empire: Some of the forms that Rome has used to maintain their own empire are instrucuate. Instrucafre, roads are key for military, if u dont have roads u cant conquer large territories, if u do have roads, u can send your troops to far flung areas. Good for communication, they foster trade and they integrate the regions into one unit, especially one economic empire/market. Another kind of infastructure is the aqueducts, the aqueducts carried water from where it was to where it was needed. It increased crop production, it was useful for being able to increase agriculture in farther regions. Administrative and political power, we’ve seen examples of persia that had administrative and political techniques in their empire. In the roman case, using local elites as officials and roman law, a unified legal system. We’ve seen other empires impose unified laws (Chang). The roman laws applied all over the empire and bits of roman law are still visible in a lot of western/european laws. Military power is separate from political/administrative power. China had administrative power but they did not rely on the military. Rome relied on the military, it’s one of the big appeals of the roman empire for men/ideas of masculinity. The military is important for patrolling the borders,working on instructure. 

Kushan Empire:

Kushan Empire: Another Nomadic people who conquered the northwest edge of India. The Kushans facilitated travel and trade, they welcomed everybody to trade in their empire (fostered cultural exchange and cultural mixings) they also contributed to Gandharan Art and Culture. 

Mauryan Empire:

Mauryan Empire: They created a unified, administrative structure. They developed trade and roads and they had tax collection as well. The most famous emperor was Asoka. They started off as being a military based king, then he changed his heart and became a buddhist and converted all of his people to become buddhism. He made India into a buddhist country. The decline came because of the cost of the large territory, maintaining a large army and trying to govern separate regional kingdoms.
