The Ottoman Empire of Turkey was the most successful and most enduring of the three empires. Their reign began with the first sultan, Osman I, who founded the empire and used Islamic religion to unify and centralized the empire. As the empire grew more stability through,

In a world where a common goal in life is to have the most, quantity is not always better than quality. This is shown in comparing the Abbasid Empire with the Ottoman Empire, as one had greater quantity while the other had greater quality. The Abbasids may have not gained the most land throughout their reign, but they had completed outstanding achievements that transformed their own lives, as well as history. The Ottomans on the other hand may have had a massive empire, but they did not have many remarkable achievements that gave them a rich, full culture. While the Ottomans may have held a long-lasting and grand empire, they did not create a culture as complete and impactful as that of the Abbasids.

Historians have called the Assyrian empire the first true empire because they conquered divers' populations with different cultures and they also conquered massive amount of lands.

Ismail I lived during a turbulent time in Iran’s history. It was a period of “political fragmentation and decentralization” [Richard C. Martin]. He was the founder of the Safavid Empire. In 1501, he named himself the Shah, king, of the empire and proclaimed Twelver religion the official religion of state. It took him almost over a decade to consolidate his control over all of Iran, where most of the Persian population still practiced as Sunni. His Qizilbash military was given the task to convert anyone on Safavid territory to Twelver Islam and the army succeeded. Ismail was a remarkable leader when he set his mind to it, yet the Ottoman empire instigated a war against the Safavid empire because of the increase of Shia population. Ismail was caught by surprise and the Qizilbash were defeated. The aftermath of the battle was severe; Ismail was so embarrassed by the defeat he became inattentive to any Qizilbash work and military affairs of state. He broke down and started to write poems about pious Muslims and how they worship their god. The shah died at age 36, after becoming an alcoholic, but the Safavid empire continued for over 200 years after. The Safavid Empire was founded on the unified front of their population, their military strength and intolerance for other beliefs but their own.

The Persian Empire, also known as the Achaemenid Empire, ruled from 559 BC to 330 BC. Spanning from Egypt to Turkey, the Persian Empire was the largest that the ancient world had seen. The reason that the Persian Empire was featured in Amy Chua’s book was not only because it was the first great leadership that the word has seen, but also because of its sheer size. Today it is still one of the biggest Empires to ever exist. The Persian Empire had a huge influence on the world 's grasp of economics, agriculture, religion and society in general.

In Europe during 1250-1350, the major technological advancement, firearms, was significant in influencing Europe’s rulers. Although created between the mid 13th and 14th century, firearms, such as cannons and muskets, weren’t fully developed to be efficient and reliable in warfare until the mid 1400’s. Due to an increase in firearms, rulers began to create centralized, fiscal-military states to finance their strategic shift to firearm bearing infantries (542,). Rulers also began to implement imperialism, extending a country’s power and influence through military force, which had been a dormant policy for decades. The reason for reverting was a result of developing commonwealths between the competing realms, consisting of the religious civilizations of Islam and Christianity. The people who led the expansion of Islamic rule, first over the Eastern Orthodox Christians and eventually over the Western, the Ottomans, frequently attempted to raise immense amounts of currency in silver and gold purely for the sake of obtains firepower in the hopes of world ruling. But as Abu- Lughod would reason, that was a long shot to begin with.

After the war the people in Europe suffer from the national ID determination problem, and that because the result of the war, many countries asked about their independent. Also the middle East and the Arab countries suffer from the same problem, because they were under the role of the Othman Empire, and after the Axis power lost in the war , the Othman Empire can't do the same role in the Arab countries. While the image of the Othman Empire in the Arab world take the colonial shape, because of that the Arab countries take it a chance to rise up against the Othman Empire. This demands in the world create a chaos. While the victors in the war saw this chaos a big chance for them to put these country under the concept of mandate. In order to develop

When Arabians conquered Middle East countries, they made that areas' people to accept their new rules. Enlarging of population and places, Arabians encountered obstacles to control that areas. To prevent new places against enemies, Arabians should make strong administrative system. In occupied lands Arabians ruled the countries according to Islam rules. The best known of these early Arab settlements were the aforementioned Kufa and Basra in Iraq, Fustat (later Cairo) Egypt and Qayrawan in Tunisia (Bennison A 2009). During Caliph Ummar, Empire was divided into provinces. It helped Arabians to control the places easily. Empire was ruled by Caliphs. Most of the revenue of Empire came from Taxes. Taxation system was completely changed, for instance, all the Muslim people should give taxes: zakat, khums and Christians gave jizya.

The Qajar empire, brought to power under Agha Mohammad Khan, became, and maintained its position as a major ruling strength in Persia between the years of 1795 and 1925. With the death of the final Zand dynasty ruler, Moḥammad Karīm Khān Zand, in 1779, Agha Mohammad Khan worked to unite the rest of the Qajar empire under him began to take his rise to power. This Turkmen group, ancestrally from present-day Azerbaijan, and it’s leader set out to reunify Iran under their rule, leaving a legacy that would live out the extent of the empire and find its way into modern day history books. The experiences, strength, drive, and ruthlessness of Agha Mohammad Khan aided to secure his long-sought rise to power as the undisputed Shah of Persia in the 1790’s, and set the stage for one of the longest lasting empires in modern day Iran.

I asked a friend of mine to come with me to visit the Asian Art Museum. I told him that the Museum is exhibiting pieces of recent archeological discoveries of Saudi Arabia. Since we were both Saudis, we felt curious to explore the museum for the first time. When we arrived to the museum, we paid 15 dollars each because we were adults. It was not until we finished our visit that we realized that we could have used our student identification cards to pay only 10 dollars each. However, we did not feel bad about it because we agreed that our visit was totally worth the price; if not, what we paid for the entrance was very little.
