1. The Ottoman Empire- The Ottoman Empire had a very diverse population as does our empire. It was very wealthy and our wealth was still growing but China was a very prosperous place and we were developing ways to gain wealth as we went on.
2. The Aztecs- The Aztecs believed men and women were equal and we were all about equality and free choice of religion. So in the case of the roles of men and women they were both able to work and do as they wished to help society.
3. The Ming Dynasty- We were very close to the Ming empire and we eventually were able to conquer it and use its strengths. It was very strong and well established while ours was just developing and had many different cultures inner-twined and so we benefited a lot when were able to join forces and use what they had had.
4. Inca Empire- The Incas had very strict ways of doing things, like handing out food and their government and what was done with certain women. This was very different from our empire which was more relaxed and lenient with our rules and ways of how things were done. We made sure to maintain order while balancing some free choice.
5. Mughal Empire- The Mughal Empire tried to help incorporate different religions to work and blend together. We also blended everything together and took the best of all of the different cultures to try to make our society the best it could be.
I think that these comparisons are interesting to look at because our empire was very similar to the Ottomans, Aztecs, and Mughals and not as similar to the Incas and the Ming. This is interesting because with the other empires out there is in interesting to see what we shared and what ended up working out well.
