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:

Is man; so what better conclusion is there

Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
Than a wolf’s....”
