I met sulamin the great some noticible accomplishments he made are he founded the Ottoman Empire and created a new legal system. I believe because he created the legal system of kunan it has impacted modern day.

# data[].attributes.body
I met the rulers named Shah Abbas, Akbar, and Selim the Grim.

They mentioned different accomplishments like Shah Abbas implementing a new religion for their empire. Akbar had created a new tax system and created a centralized government. Selim the Grim was rich in his empire and would win many wars with other empires. He had a lot of power causing him to get a lot of land.

I think all these empires impacted history because it changed cultures. Each culture being different meant that when they met they would learn new things about each other. Their trade routes would promote the influence of new things that others would not know of. If everyone only lived in one empire like the Ottoman empire then no one would explore other lands and get new materials or textiles. They impacted history because if these empires were not formed there wouldn't be new things discovered today.

I met the rulers Akbar, Suleiman the Magnificent, and Shah Abbas. For Akbar, it was noted that he implemented a new tax law that was very effective. He also had a high religious tolerance.

Selim the Grim was a leader who focused on expanding the Ottoman Empire, and conquering areas and cities like Mecca and Cairo. Shah Abbas was known for changing the military and government in the Safavid empire. Leaving behind having chiefs in the empires military and creating a new structure and creating a centralized government. All of these leaders impacted history by creating fast expansion of borders and conquesting important cities along the way. All of their strive for centralized government left long term effects on how the world different governments work today.

I met Suleiman the Magnificent, Mehmet the II. They mentioned some different accomplishments like Suleiman the Magnificent was the longest ruler. He was called magnificent because during his rule because of his conquests and renowned wisdom but than Mehmet the II was the conquest of constantinople. I think all these different empires impacted history because they both had wisdom and conquests

# data[].attributes.body
I met Akbar whose biggest achievement was separating religion from the government/law. He made it so that people in his empire didn't need to convert to Islam. It's interesting how his greatest accomplishments are not only related to battle and moreso related to government. He split his empire into provinces with a governor for each different province. Still, he had a good military and was considered to be the greatest Mughal emperor.

I think the emperors of the Gunpowder Empires impacted history by being a lot more religious tolerant. A lot of the rulers made it so that the people in their empires weren't forced to convert to Islam, which was a good move to expand their population. As well as the gunpowder being a very valuable trade resource so beside the population being diverse in religion the people also felt safe as their militaries had good resources for war.

# data[].attributes.body

I think every ruler has impacted history because they were some of the first people to have a true government that some places still use, And how our world functions still today.

Selim the Grim also had really good military accomplishments because he conquered a lot of lands, and he was also known for killing a lot of people close to him. Suleiman the Magnificent was a really good ruler because he helped the arts flourish, and he had high religious tolerance because he knew it would help his kingdom. All of these rulers affected history because of military conquest, which affected where countries are today, and they affected the culture back then, which shaped the culture of those places today.

I met Selim the grim, Akbar, Shah. Selim kept a strong hold on his peoples religion and kept it strictly Muslim. Akbar created a strong military force and kept his people safe while expanding his empire. Shah was a kind ruler and kept his place among his people for 42 years, altho he was a shy man always afraid of getting assassinated but he didn't let that get in the way of standing up for his empire and stealing back land stolen by others.

# data[].attributes.body
I met Mehmed ii the Conqueror. They had a very militaristic lifestyle which was created at a very young age. They began their training in the 1440s and they were very political. I guess he was known around the world because of him conquering Constantinople whatever that is. He held power from 1451 until 1481 when he passed away. I guess the childhood that he had wasn't very good and he didn't get shown care or anything like that a lot. I'm not sure if that made him more ruthless or not, he sure claimed he didn't but he seemed like it did a lot. I also met a man named Akbar, who was kind of a weird guy. He was known for a strong religious tolerance and he created a very powerful military. He seemed like a very strict person but I guess that helped him in the military, he also seemed very rough around the edges and took everything very seriously, I mean I have been in the military my whole life but even I'm not that strict. That guy wasn't too horrible though, he helped his empire succeed just like I did so I guess it wasn't a bad thing.

# data[].attributes.body
I met the ruler Akbar, from Bairam Khan, he created a powerful military system and instituted effective political and social reforms. He was also the first Mughal ruler to win the trust and loyalty of the native subjects. Akbar was the third Mughal emperor and is widely considered the greatest, he ruled notable for expanding Mughal power and influence over much of the Indian subcontinent. He also  abolished the poll tax on non Muslims and the forced conversion of prisoners of war to Islam. He even established a centralised system of administration and adopted a policy of conciliating conquered rulers through marriage and diplomacy.

# data[].attributes.body
I talked to Akbar, Selim the Grim, Suleiman the Magnificent, and Akbar was raised by his uncles and became Emperor at just 14 years old. Akbar also expanded the Mughal empire and created a unified empire through religion. Selim The Grim killed his competition to became ruler including his family. Selim also conquered Mecca. Suleiman conquered Hungary, and Akbar conquered India. Shah Abbas established a global trade link and created 2 armies that were both under his control. Shah Abbas enjoyed painting and arts as well as Akbar. All of these rulers impacted the history of our world because of their different ways of conquering other places, their different beliefs and ideas, and what they did to make their empires stronger.

# data[].attributes.body
I met with the rulers Aurangzeb of the Mughal empire, Shah Abbas of the Safavid empire, and Akbar of the Mughal empire.

Shah Abbas was very into the development of global trade routes from Asia to Europe. Aurangzeb was very into his military powers and used it to his advantages to control the most land for the Mughal empire and he also was very into his religion and would fight people who were against his religion with his vast army. Akbar similar to Aurangzeb had a vast army and had conquered very many places for the better of his empire but on the contrary he was very open to religions allowing harmony to be spread throughout all the Mughal empire.

I think that all of the empires had effected the world very differently but all strived to complete a very similar goal. Like the leader Shah Abbas he had the effect of opening and creating new trade routes, Aurangzeb was very into a big and vast army to control the lands he had, and Akbar wanted religion to be able to spread freely throughout his lands. These all however all wanted to make their empire the best for themselves but they all had tried it in very different ways. They also had wanted to be able to spread their borders so they could all hold a significant chunk of land and that's why they were so impactful was because they were able to control such vast lands with their own ways of creating laws and governing their empires.

learn about I learned about how Akbar was a great novel because he would focus on his military so he can take over

I learned Suleiman the Magnificent conquered the most amount of Autumn Empire

# data[].attributes.body
I met the rulers Aurangzeb, Akbar and Shah Abbas.

Some accomplishments of Akbar was he became an empire from a young age and expanded the mughal empire. He also united different religions. He ruled from 1556 to 1605. He also Conquered inada. He was resided by his uncles too which had to be tough for him so that was a struggle he had.

Some accomplishments of Aurangzeb where he expanded the military a lot. He used his large army to take over and conquer land and gain riches.

Some accomplishments of Shah Abbas was he strengthened the economy by establishing global trade links between Asia and Europe and revitalized the state religion Shi'a Islam which is still practiced today. He also made two armies that were loyal to him and him only.

I think that all these rulers that I met today impacted history by there new ideas that led them to expand an become better which in turn let to better ideas. They also pathed a way for empires in the future to grow because all the rulers I talked to today were growing at fast rates and expanding faster and faster so this was really a turning point in history. Now countries had the ideas and resources to grow and thrive and become bigger and better.

I've only met Mehmet II and Akbar. Akbar was the greatest of the Mughal emperors of India, He reigned from 1556 to 1605 and extended Mughal power over most of the Indian subcontinent. Akbar the Great significantly expanded the Mughal Empire, establishing centralized administration, and promoting religious tolerance and cultural exchange. Mehmed II, known as "the Conqueror," is most famously recognized for his military conquests, particularly the capture of Constantinople in 1453, which marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and ushered in the Ottoman era.

# data[].attributes.body
I met the rulers like shah Abbas from the empire safavid, and I also met the ruler Akbar and he was the ruler Mughal empire. The ruler Shah Abbas had some good accomplishments which brought his country together after a civil war, and also concerned a Ottoman empire another thing that he did was make his empire that largest in Ottoman history. The Ruler from the Mughal empire which was Akbar his Accomplishments were that he consented most of India, and also had a expansion on religious practice. I think the impact that rulers had on history was on religions or religious practices.

# data[].attributes.body
I met Selim the grim and Akbar. Selim killed many of his family to become the sultan and is my father. Akbar expanded the boarders and harmony across his empire. He believed that peace and harmony were the most important thing for his empire. Selim was power hungry and did hard drugs and drank all the time. After his rule ending in 1520 his son Suleiman the Magnificent took the place of sultan and conquers lots of land and spread the Ottoman influence.

# data[].attributes.body
I Met Akbar, he had a religious tolerance and he created a powerful military system and instituted effective political and social reforms. Akbar established separation of state and religion and opened government positions to members of all religions. In the short term, Akbar greatly expanded the Mughal Empire's territory. Also by abolishing the sectarian tax on non-Muslims and appointing them to high civil and military posts, Akbar was the first Mughal ruler to win the trust and loyalty of the native subjects. established a centralised system of administration and adopted a policy of conciliating conquered rulers through marriage and diplomacy.

Today I met many different rulers. The first ruler that I met was Selim l, also known as Selim the Grim. By conversing with Selim the Grim I learned that he was the Surtan of the Ottoman empire from 1512 to 1520. Selim came into power by killing a lot of his family members that were above him. I also learned that during his rule Selim increased the size of his empire by 70 percent during his reign, spanning 3.4 million km2. Selim also spent some time as governor of Trabzon which earned him a great reputation. I also talked to Akbar who expanded the borders of the Mughal empire, multiplying the size by 3. The other great ruler I talked to was Abbis the Great who created the system of a centralized government. I believe that all of these rulers had their own separate important impacts on history, but I think they all impacted by prompting the massive expansion of their borders. The increase in size of the borders brought more riches and resources to their land providing a foundation for increases and expansion in technology and scientific advances. Out of all the leaders I met today there were some leaders that seemed as if they were great at what they did but there were also a few that seemed like bad or cruel leaders.

# data[].attributes.body
I met with two people who had the leader of Akbar. Akbar was a very smart religiously tolerated leader, he was leader of the Mughal empire for 49 years. He was know for his very strong and effective military. With his effective military he was able to take over most of the Indian Subcontinent. His policies of religion tolerance had a lasting impact on Indian cultures. The next person I had was also a Mughal leader who was named Aurangzeb. He was also know for his expansion on his empire and his spread of religious policies. He was in charge of the expansion of the Mughal empire to its greatest territorial extent. His strict religious policies like reintroducing Jizya tax and destruction of the Hindu temples. I believe all these empires played an important role in history because they each had a change of culture. Each one was different and that means that they each could adapt from each other. If everyone was all in one big empire then you would not get to experience what it is like to learn new cultures and religions and explore new lands and areas. And each empire had its own special discoveries. I think that both the leaders were very much their own person and the people that were in his empire adapted to their leaders and came along to like them and believe in following what they had going for their empire.

# data[].attributes.body
I met the leaders Sulamin the Great, Selim the Grim, and Aurangzeb.

Selim the Grim was a pretty scary dude. He killed so many of his family members. He was scared that they would take power from him. He surrounded himself with a large army. He was able to double the size of the Ottoman Empire while he was in power. He was a strong dude, but scared. He was harsh and strict towards his army.

Aurangzeb was a super strict religious dude. He held strict religious ideas and kept his soldiers in line. He reclaimed old land. He was able to make the empire the largest in Mughal history and the richest.

Sulamin the Great was an awesome dude. He made a centralized government and married a slave to break the normalization. He was born into royalty and has kept a lifelong friend from when he was a little kid. He ruled for 46 years and was able to keep a stable legal system, and was able to increase land for the Ottomans.
