APEX AGE: MODERN
Forged in conquest, the Mughal Dynasty oversaw a vast and prosperous empire, controlling as it did nearly a quarter of the world's industrial output. Under the Mughals, India adopted a centralized monarchy, where authority – and riches – stemmed from proximity to the throne, where wealthy rulers built wonders, and factories churned day and night.
