Question

Which areas were most permanently impacted by expansion of Islam?

Answer 1

Answer:

North Africa and Southwest Asia

Explanation:

I believe it is the 4th option (sorry if it's wrong). From 1450 to around 1750, trade routes by land and sea allowed religion, culture, and technologies to spread to different parts of the world. Islam was spread through trade in Africa (mainly North Africa), where many of these African kingdoms converted to Islam due to trade and communication. Islam was also spread to Southwest Asia for a brief period of time through military expansion. It affected the politics and religious divide in many asian empires in this region. An example of this is the Mughal Empire which was officially a muslim state, but had a hindu majority. The Mughal Empire is now modern day India, where you still can see a divide between Muslims and Hindus, as well as cultural influences and technological advancements brought through the spread of Islam.
