Conclusion
As the broad cultural region remained politically divided, the sharp antagonisms between empires stimulated appearance of variations of Persianate culture. After 1500, the Iranian culture developed distinct features of its own, and interposition of strong pre-Islamic and Shiite-Islamic culture. The inhabitants of eastern Mediterranean in Asia Minor, Syria, Iraq, and Egypt developed somewhat independently; India developed a vibrant South Asian style of Indo-Persian culture; and Central Asia, which gradually grew more isolated, and not linguistically, but culturally predominantly remained Persianate to this day; Ottoman Turkey grew somewhat differently and Turkish nationalism has developed since the formation of Turkey.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:
“So this
Is man; so—what better conclusion is there—
The day will not follow night, and the heart
Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
Than a wolf’s,”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“I have come to the conclusion that the closer people are to what may be called the front lines of government ... the easier it is to see the immediate underbrush, the individual tree trunks of the moment, and to forget the nobility the usefulness and the wide extent of the forest itself.... They forget that politics after all is only an instrument through which to achieve Government.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clichés that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him.... The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart’s blood.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
