The Mughal Empire rose from Babur's tactical victory in 1526, when cannon fire startled war elephants and changed the course of battle. Over centuries, the empire became home to nearly a quarter of the world’s people, famous for dazzling wealth, architectural marvels, and religious debates. Longevity and stability were shaped by strategic alliances, visionary rulers, and a multiethnic society. Yet, succession struggles, regional rebellions, and colonial ambitions ultimately brought the empire to an end.
