The Mughal Empire is one of the major empires taught in most world history classes, but it’s often presented in a simplistic manner with good and bad emperors. How can we teach the Mughals in a more nuanced manner?

Here's another great map showing how frequently colonized peoples challenged European imperialism. We want to use more maps like this one when teaching imperialism. There are definitely other revolts that happened between 1880 and 1920. Please feel to include other visual resources related to those uprisings.

At the same time, North American colonists were rebelling against the British, Tupac Amaru II, led a large indigenous rebellion against the Spanish.

Tupac Amaru is the man in the light blue jacket to the left of the Virgin Mary.
