Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the foundation of the Mughal Empire, early Mughal rule and the way in which this had developed by the late 17th century. They end the unit by reflecting on the role played by violence during the expansion of Mughal rule in India.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' key stage 2 knowledge of a different and earlier Islamic empire when they focused on early Islamic civilisation and Baghdad. This unit prepares pupils for the forthcoming unit about the collapse of Mughal authority in India and its replacement by British East India Company rule.
