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:
“I have come to the conclusion that the major part of the work of a President is to increase the gate receipts of expositions and fairs and by tourists into town.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
“Human affairs are so obscure and various that nothing can be clearly known. This was the sound conclusion of the Academic sceptics, who were the least surly of philosophers.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (1469–1536)
