Evaluate the most significant changes and continuities in Western and Central Asia (including India but excluding Southeast and
Marta_Voda [28]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The most significant changes and continuities in Western and Central Asia from 1400 to 1700 were the following.

In the 1400s, the Timurid Empire had control over this region. Timur was the leader of the Empire. The members of this dynasty ordered the rebuilding of the Citadel, the Bazaar, and new buildings are constructed. They establish a new capital, Herat; that became an important center for the Muslims.

The wife of Emperor Shah Rukh ordered the construction of mosques to teach women about the importance of Islam.

The arrival of Husain Baqara as the new emperor in 1470 meant important support to the art and culture of West and Central Asia. Painters, poets, and calligraphers received support to do their jobs.

Dayan Khan became emperor in 1491, but he fell short of expectations and his period represents the decline of the Timurid Empire. In 1507, Babur, from the same family founds the Mughal Empire in India.

In 1543, Altan Khan coverts into Buddhism and became a Lama in Tibet.

What is the primary difference between the principles of capitalism and socialism
SashulF [63]
Capitalism: is an economic system in which the factors of production are privately owned and money is invested in business ventures to make a profit.
(Basically Capitalism referred to people who believed that the government should not interfere with businesses)

Socialism: the factors of production are owned by the public and operate for the welfare of all.

The main difference between the two was that in capitalism, business owners wanted to run everything themselves. They didn't want help from the government at all. Socialism was when the people wanted "some government" involved within the businesses. In summary, the main difference is the amount of government that was allowed to take over in a business.
