Answer:is a science fiction manga by Japanese artist Hiroki Endo, published monthly in the Japanese magazine Monthly Afternoon. It is published in the United States by Dark Horse Comics, in the United Kingdom by Titan Books, and in Germany by Egmont Manga & Anime. Eden is set in the near future, following a pandemic called closure virus which killed 15 percent of the world's population, crippled or disfigured many more, and upset the world's political balance greatly. Eden is to some extent based on Gnostic mythology, with some characters, such as Ennoia, being named after Gnostic entities, and other Gnostic influences being seen in the themes of the ongoing story.

Plot

Elijah and Cherubim gaze at the city in this early page from the manga. Endo has been noted for the amount of detail he puts into his work.[2]

The series begins with a long introduction, with the characters Ennoia and Hannah living a peaceful life on a remote and isolated island called Eden, with researcher Lane Morris, who is their guardian and a victim of the pandemic, the so-called "Closure Virus", which has killed 15% of mankind. The events that led to this situation are revealed in flashbacks, leading up to the return of Ennoia's father, along with the forces of the Propater Federation.

Following this, the story moves forwards twenty years, and focuses on Ennoia's son, Elijah, the main character, and his own conflict with the powerful and monopolistic Propater federation to save his sister, Mana Ballard, kidnapped by Propater when he was very young. She is being held to threaten Ennoia Ballard, father of the two characters, who has become a powerful drug lord in South America, feared and despised by many, including, to an extent, his own family. During a terrorist attack, Elijah, at the aged 15, is separated from his mother and his sister is kidnapped, along with his mother Hannah and now has to handle things on his own. Eden is about his coming-of-age as a man and trying to survive both bodily and morally in world that is too complex for mere "black and white". He encounters many other characters, both allies and enemies, all sharing the same struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world.

Many stories are included of the people Elijah meets, telling their past or following life, sometimes volumes later, furthering understanding of the characters and giving increased depth to the world of the book as a whole.

Later in the series, the story once again moves forwards in time, jumping four more years ahead. The Closure Virus, the cause of the original pandemic, mutates, this time assimilating non-organic matter as well as organic, known as "colloid" (or "Disclosure Virus"). The story rejoins Elijah, now 19 years old, as well as many other old characters, and some new, as the world begins to deal with this new threat that is swallowing many cities in the world, leaving lakes and craters, and many people. It is later discovered that the several colloids in the world, are linked with a net of underground auto-built "cables," and that the colloid itself, stores all the memories of the people it swallows.

The main protagonist, Elijah is introduced on the run from Propater. He encounters some mercenaries also eluding Propater and is forced to join them.

Answer:

The Mughals

Explanation:

The Mughal Empire was a realm that at its most prominent regional degree governed portions of Afghanistan, Balochistan and the greater part of the Indian Subcontinent between 1526 and 1857. The realm was established by the Mongol head Babur in 1526, when he defeated Ibrahim Lodi, the last of the Afghan Lodi Sultans at the First Battle of Panipat, where they utilized explosive without precedent for India. The Mughal Empire is known as an "e<em>gunpowder empire</em>." "Mughal" is the Indo-Aryan variant of "Mongol." Babur was a relative of Chingis Khan. The Mughals held parts of Mongol culture well into the sixteenth century, for example, the plan of tents around the regal camp during military moves. The religion of Mughals was Islam.

Under Akbar the Great, the empire grew extensively, and kept on extending until the end of Aurangzeb's rule. Jahangir, the son of Akbar, governed the realm between 1605 and 1627. At the point when Shah Jahan, Jehangir's son, became head in October 1627, the realm was huge and well off enough to be viewed as perhaps the best domain in the world around then. It was Shah Jahan who dispatched the structure that speaks to the zenith of Mughal building accomplishment, the Taj Mahal, between 1630 and 1653. Patrons of craftsmanship and of learning, the Mughals left a rich legacy of structures, canvases and writing.

They realized that nothing really changed much. The freed African-Americans still had almost no political rights and the system was controlled mostly by corrupt politicians who came from the north to become rich. The regular people still had huge farms and turned the former slave system into a system of sharecropping which was in many ways similar to slavery. The freedom was very superficial and in reality people still lived as bad as before the war.
