How do you think empires consolidate their power?

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Explanation:

Many of the growing empires were seeking for ways to unite themselves through centralization methods. Many military techniques, such as the employment of gunpowder, were used by the empires to expand and conquer more people and area. Art was used by rulers to demonstrate their political authority to both their own empire and other civilizations.

Empires grew and conquered peoples all over the world, yet they often struggled to integrate culturally, ethnically, and religiously diverse subjects while also administering vast swaths of land. European powers' agents infiltrated established commercial networks all over the world.
