Some of the primary reasons for Ottoman decline were:
<span>The Rapid Demise of the Safavid Empire. Abbas I, fearing plots, had removed all suitable heirs. The succession of a weak grandson began a process of dynastic decline. Internal strife and foreign invasions shook the state. In 1772 Isfahan fell to Afghani invaders. An adventurer, Nadir Khan Afshar, emerged from the following turmoil as shah in 1736, but his dynasty and its successors were unable to restore imperial authority.</span>
Aurangzeb and the Fall of the Empire <span>Aurangzeb was the last great Mughal emperor. Although he brought a larger area under Mughal rule than ever before, his constant wars left the empire dangerously overextended, isolated from its strong Rajput allies, and with a population that was largely opposed to his reign. His last twenty five years were spent fighting in the Deccan in the south, and losing territory to rival states.</span>
The central ideological conflict was between capitalism and communism. Ideology is the underlying system of beliefs and ideas around how a country should be led and the Cold War was called so because it was a war of ideologies, not a real war where people were fighting in the battlefield. The western hemisphere believed that Capitalism was great and the Eastern hemisphere believed that Communism was great and they fought over this.
