Summary The Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal Empires spanned a period of
Islamic history in which the isolation of medieval times - when small dynasties struggled to control small amounts of territory - gave way to the interdependence of modern times.
Between them, these three empires covered the entire Islamic world, with the exception of West Africa and Southeast Asia, and they ushered in a new age of global trade and communication, as all three established new relations with European powers.
Equally significant, all three pioneered the use of artillery in warfare, thus helping to change the way battles were fought for centuries to come.
Finally, each empire left its own imprint on the Islamic world, through such varied issues as architecture, treatment of non-Muslims, and consideration of Sunni vs. Shi'a issues.
