  2. Sample Prompt: Compare and contrast the Safavid and Mughal Dynasties’ religious policies and their relations with Europe.

  3. Thesis Formula: …the same…but different… …were similar…but differed… …had these similarities…but these differences…

  4. Sample Thesis Statements: The Safavid and Mughal Dynasties had similarly distant relations with Europe, yet differed in the degree to which they used religion to unify their realms. The Safavid and Mughal Dynasties had similarly distant relations with Europe, yet differed in the extent of their commercial contacts with European states. In addition, although the two dynasties were the same in their identification with Islam, they were different in the degree to which they used the faith to unify their realms.

  5. Sample Main Point: The Safavid and Mughal Dynasties had relatively limited diplomatic contact with European states, though Mughal India had fairly extensive commerical contacts.

  6. Sample Evidence: The capital of the Safavid Empire, Isfahan, was geographically isolated and few Europeans ever travelled to it. Neither dynasty had any sort of navy, and thus they relied on Europeans for naval support or the conduct of any sea trade.

  7. Sample Analysis: Neither dynasty saw the need to develop a naval force or commercial fleet of their own in part because of their nomadic origins and their lack of a seafaring tradition.

  8. Sample Expanded Core Thesis Statement: The Safavid and Mughal Dynasties had similarly distant relations with Europe, yet differed in the degree to which they used religion to unify their realms, in part because the Safavids identified their authority with the spread of Shia Islam, whereas the Mughals ruled over an empire in which Islam was not the majority faith.
