The Fatimid Dynasty

The Fatimid Dynasty was derived from politics that developed in the Islamic religion. The ultimate mission was to extend the empire to parts of the Middle East and regions in Africa. During its peak, Cairo was born in 969 AD and was the central point for the Islamic-Arabic cultures.
When the Crusades launched their attack on the empire, it crumbled under pressure and lost their position in 1099.

The Mughal Empire was established in 1526 and ran through South Asia. Interestingly, this empire lasted more than 300 years and was founded by Zahir-ud-Din Muhammad Babur. At the end of 1690, the empire covered an estimated 4 million square kilometers and consisted of mostly Indian territories.
In 1857, the Mughal Empire came to a halt and eventually crashed after its emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was arrested for treason.
