In this video Heimler explains how land-based empires expanded from 1450-1750. In a word, most of them expanded by means of gunpowder based weaponry.

He explains the rise of gunpowder empires like the Ottoman Empire, the Safavid Empire, and the Mughal Empire. Ivan the Terrible did similar things with the expansion of the Russian Empire.

But it wasn’t all boom boom. The expansion of empires required a healthy dependence on bureaucracy as well.
