The Mughal Empire (1526-1857 CE) Established in India by Babur, the Mughal Empire brought stability and prosperity to much of the Indian subcontinent. The Mughals are known for their cultural achievements, including the construction of architectural wonders like the Taj Mahal. They also fostered economic growth through agriculture and trade, though the empire began to decline in the 18th century due to internal rebellions and European colonialism.
