Question

Long answer. The eighteenth century was the century of universal decline comment

Answer 1

The decline of the Mughal Empire was only natural, after the death of Aurangzeb. Aurangzeb died in 1707 at the age off 88. His wars against the Marathas lasted nearly 26 years and depleted his treasury of all monies. Though the death of Aurangzeb was a significant event in Mughal history (and also in the 18th century), the decline of the Mughal Empire cannot be wholly attributed to this single event because Aurangzeb’s successors did try to reverse the downfall of their dynasty, though unsuccessfully.
