Our Empire

Our empire Elle, Kathleen, and mine was in East Africa and had taken over most of Africa. At least the regions that were able to be conquered such as the Savannah.

Ottoman Empire: Like the Ottoman Empire we took over the Songhay and the tribes of the Savannah through spreading our religion which is Christianity. Our religion was our source of influence.
Portugal: Like the Portuguese we had a ruler too however our ruler had to work hand in hand with church officials because it had to agree with the religion.
Safavid: Unlike the Safavid who split the politics and religion we didn't. For them it caused them to rise while for us it was our downfall.
Mughal Empire: The Mughal Empire was known for their religious tolerance which allowed them to conquer India. However we forced everyone to be Christians since we believed that this would help us to be accepted at the beginning it allowed us to rise but after a couple hundreds of years we declined because our people saw this as a restriction of freedom.
Aztec: In the Aztec Empire women and men were regarded as equals both men and women were allowed to work at temples. However our empire was Christian at is not considered decent for a women to hold a status as priestess.
