Fall of the mughal empire.
The fall of the Mughal Empire was due to three things: geographic overextension, poor leadership, and challenges for power.
The leader of the Mughal Empire was Aurangzeb, who was always engaged in constant warfare, which significantly increased the size of his army.
Aurangzeb was very strict on religion, and banned Hinduism from the entire empire; he also revived the tax imposed to non-Muslims.
As Aurangzeb’s empire increased, the chain of command weakened. His religion intolerance played a vital role in the decline of the empire.
In 1658, Aurangzeb became sick and his four sons broke out into war, fighting for the empire.
In the end, the empire was split between the four sons, causing it to decrease.
As the Mughal Empire weakened, the East India Company took advantage and slowly moved in.
The British brought to India what they thought were the basics of Western Civilization.
