2-Minute Revision

Conquest needs consolidation to endure. Keep the Punjab base, Tarain, Chandawar and succession as distinct stages. Ghori is neither Mahmud nor Aibak. Explain military outcomes through specific conditions, and avoid treating the second Tarain victory as instant control over northern India.

5-Minute Revision

Draw a five-date line and add one opponent or political effect to each date. Then write a three-sentence explanation of why a commander matters after a conqueror leaves. Check that the account distinguishes territorial opportunity from a finished administrative system.
