1. The Mughal Empire was established by
NARA [144]
1. Correct answer is: B) Babur

Babur was a conqueror from Central Asia who managed to lay the foundations for the Mughal dynasty in 1526, in the Indian subcontinent. He managed to conquer Northern India, and century and a half later, his successors expanded his empire to whole Indian subcontinent.

2. Correct answer is: A) Islamic expansion into India was facilitated by both Islamic merchants and conquerors.

Islamic merchants spread Islamic religion and culture through trade, and later, with the arrival of Islamic Sultans, Islamic expansion was induced through military conquest in certain areas. Islamic expansion was rapid in India, because it did not encounter much resistance.

3. Correct answer is: D) Muslim armies carried their faith west across the top of the entire continent.

With the expansion of Islam in the 7th century AD, Muslim conquerors managed to spread Islam in North Africa, across Southern Europe (Spain, Portugal), and the Near East. With the decline of The Byzantine Empire, Islam gained ideal conditions for rapid expansion.

4. Correct answer is: A) Military conquests by the Arab Empire and traders of Islamic faith were the primary means for spreading Islam to Africa, Europe, and Asia.

By using all the available means, Islam managed to be widely accepted, from Indonesia to Spain, especially because it was tolerant religion and even non-Arabian people could achieve high positions (even the title of Grand Vizier, the right hand of Sultan).

5. Correct answer is: A) It tolerated a diverse population.

<span>Islam, being a tolerant religion, was not enforced, but people that accepted this religion had more favorable position in the state. Islam accepted different religions and cultures that influenced its development.</span>
