The Ottoman Empire primarily encompassed Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, including modern-day Turkey, Greece, the Balkans, parts of the Middle East, and North Africa. The Safavid Empire was centered in Persia, covering much of present-day Iran and parts of neighboring countries like Azerbaijan and Iraq. The Mughal Empire dominated the Indian subcontinent, including modern-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Together, these empires significantly influenced culture, religion, and trade across their respective regions.
During the reign of Shah Abbas I (1588-1629), the Ottoman Empire and the Safavid Empire were two powerful Islamic states in the region. The Ottoman Empire extended across Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, encompassing territories such as modern-day Turkey, the Balkans, and parts of the Arabian Peninsula. In contrast, the Safavid Empire was primarily located in Persia, covering present-day Iran and parts of the Caucasus and Central Asia. The borders between the two empires fluctuated due to ongoing conflicts, particularly in the areas of modern Iraq and eastern Anatolia.
Modern Turkey was controlled by a combination of Seljuk Turks and Byzantines.
Both the Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire encompassed vast territories across Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Roman Empire included regions such as parts of modern-day Italy, Spain, France, Greece, and North Africa. The Ottoman Empire extended over Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, covering areas like the Balkans, Anatolia, and parts of the Middle East. While their specific territories varied, both empires significantly influenced the regions they controlled through culture, governance, and trade.
The first modern Persian Empire was the Safavid Empire in 1501 and Iran has remained more-or-less independent since then, but Iran has been the center of numerous other empires that may not have been headquartered within Iran's boundaries.
Early Modern warfare is associated with the start of the widespread use of gunpowder and the development of suitable weapons to use the explosive. The Ottoman empire, the Safavid empire and the Mughal empire were gunpowder empires which had striking periods of culture blooming, followed by sharp decline. Islamic societies were generally conservative, and did not undergo the kind of radical changes that occurred in Western world in politics and culture. Islamic societies produced a great deal of scientific work, but no scientific revolution; and commercial prosperity, but no industrial explosion. The European colonialism of 19th century went hand in hand with the relentless advance of Western industrial, commercial and military power, which began in the early modern world. The Shi'ite/Sunni division of Islamic world was also an enduring separation-which is still going on in Iran and Iraq right now.

The Ottoman Empire and the Safavid Empire both emerged from the decline of the Mongol influence in the region and were influential Islamic empires in the early modern period. They shared a commitment to Sunni Islam (in the case of the Ottomans) and Shia Islam (for the Safavids), which shaped their political and cultural identities. Both empires were known for their significant contributions to art, architecture, and trade, fostering rich cultural exchanges. Additionally, they engaged in territorial conflicts and power struggles, particularly over influence in the Middle East.

Numerous empires such as the various Caliphates (Umayyad, Abbassid, Buyid, Idrissid, Fatimid, Samanid, Safavid, etc.) and modern States around the world have Islam as their major religion. These disparate places and empires are usually called "Islamic Civilization".
The Safavid Empire was located primarily in Persia, which corresponds to modern-day Iran. At its height in the 16th to 18th centuries, it extended into parts of the Caucasus, parts of Central Asia, and even into the Ottoman Empire's territories. The capital was established in Isfahan, which became a major cultural and political center of the empire. The Safavid period is noted for establishing Twelver Shiism as the state religion.
