The predecessor of the Mughal Empire was the Timur Empire, which ruled from 1526 to 1857, a total of 331 years.
Portugal was the first Western country to land and establish a foothold, marking the beginning of the decline of the Mughal Empire's grandeur.
The Dutch, seeing that Portugal was no longer what it used to be, chose to defeat Portugal, and the Dutch East India Company declared rule over the entire Mughal Empire.
Following closely were England and France, both nations desiring a share, leading to a major conflict, with England ultimately emerging victorious.
In 1857, the people of India finally chose to rise up and resist, but faced with the ever-strong Sun Never Sets Empire, the rebellion was crushed in an instant.
In 1858, Bahadur Shah II, the Emperor of the Mughal Empire, was captured by the British Army, not only was he stripped of his title as Victoria was crowned queen, but he was also brought to court for trial.
