Mughal Empire
Mughal Empire appears on the map from 1526 to 1857. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1700, it covered about 3.76 million km².
Babur, a Central Asian prince descended from both Timur and Genghis Khan, invaded India and defeated the Delhi Sultanate at Panipat in 1526. His son Humayun lost the throne to Sher Shah Suri but regained it in 1555. Humayun's son Akbar built a lasting empire through conquest and alliances with Rajput kings, a ranked nobility of mansabdars and a revenue system based on surveyed land, and he promoted dialogue among religions.
