Similarities: decline in quality of central administration, corruption; in case of Safavids and Ottomans decline in quality of rulers due to problems with principle of succession; growth of power of regional aristocracy with increasing control over local revenues that were diverted from the state; often accompanied by abandonment of land; failure to successfully counter growing economic and military power of West. Differences: Safavids actually conquered by outside invaders in 1722; Mughals and Ottomans continued to rule, although in reduced circumstances; Mughals lost religious alliance.
