Question

Write a brief note on 15th Census of India.

Answer 1

The 15th century was the century which spans the Julian years 1401 to 1500.In European history, the 15th century is seen as the bridge between the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the Early modern period. Many technological, social and cultural developments of the 15th century can in retrospect be seen as heralding the "European miracle" of the following centuries. In religious history, the Roman Papacy was split in two parts in Europe for decades (the so-called Western Schism), until the Council of Constance. The division of the Catholic Church and the unrest associated with the Hussite movement would give rise to the Protestant Reformation in the following century.Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, falls to emergingOttoman Turks, forcing Western Europeans to find a new trade route. At the same time, the beginning Age of Sail allows Spanish and Portugueseexplorations led to the first European sightings of the Americas (the New World) and the sea passage along Cape of Good Hope to India, in the last decade of the century. The Spanish Reconquista leads to the final fall of the Emirate of Granada by the end of the century.In Asia, under the rule of the Yongle Emperor, who built the Forbidden Cityand commanded Zheng He to explore the world overseas, the Ming Dynasty's territory reached its pinnacle. Tamerlaneestablished a major empire in the Middle East and Central Asia, in order to revive the Mongolian Empire.In Africa, the spread of Islam leads to the destruction of the Christian kingdoms of Nubia, by the end of the century leaving only Alodia (which was to collapse in 1504). The formerly vast Mali Empire teeters on the brink of collapse, under pressure from the rising Songhai Empire.
