A lot of people didn't like the textbooks organization for this chapter. I actually did. It was choppy, but it mostly stayed in chronological order. The Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals were put together because they happened together. They were all around the same time. They even interacted with each other. I think putting them together was good because it showed the interactions and effects on each empire.
Overall, I think this period of interaction was good thing. Not everyone got along, but that never really happens. Interaction among multiple groups of people is always good for the world. Even if people die or there are wars, culture and people spread. It makes the whole world, or at least those societies, more united. There were three prominent Islamic empires, and they all had defining characteristics. All being around the same time made it easier to see which of these characteristics worked and which didn't.
