What can a ruler who had 13 titles tell you about how empires maintained control over their subjects? In this video, students will learn about the large, land-based empires of Afro-Eurasia from 1450 to 1750. These empires covered thousands of miles of territory and diverse populations with different languages, ethnicities, and belief systems. Maintaining control was a primary concern for rulers who wanted to ensure that their subjects paid their taxes, obeyed the laws, and didn’t launch rebellions. Balancing authority and tolerance was difficult, and land-based empires employed similar tactics to solve these issues, but each empire also faced unique challenges.
