Not only the empire, but Britain itself, Britain was founded with the merging of England and Scotland in 1707.
Aurangzeb had 5 sons: Aurangzeb's eldest son Sultan died young. His fourth son Akbar, rebelled against his father and fled to Persia where he died in exile in November, 1704. His third son Azam and youngest son Kam Bakhsh died during the Struggle for Succession that followed Aurangzeb's death in 1707. His second son Prince Muazzam came out to be successful in the War of succession, who succeeded him under the title Bahadur Shah I (also known as Shah Alam)
He was strictly religious, he did not respect the belief of the majority of Hindus and imposed Ziziya tax on Non-muslims, which ignited the revolt against him. He was constantly away from his capital, his policy of heavy taxes put hardship on his people, the Hindus lost trust in him and resented him. he also forbid non-Muslims to be awarded high administrative positions. Aurangzeb did not trust his kith or kin and he kept most of all the power in his hands as a result when he died in (1707) there was no one good enough to take over the throne. Aurangzeb s focus on reducing the threat of rebels and expanding his empire made him unaware of the increasing powers in the west and therefore left the empire in an desperate state after his death.
According to the 1921 census of Scotland the total WW1 deaths = 74,000. In the period now under consideration, 1911 to 1921, an additional adjustment of 74,000 was made in respect of war deaths among Scottish soldiers and sailors outwith Scotland. http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/text/chap_page.jsp?t_id=SRC_P&c_id=3&cpub_id=S1921PRE&show=DB

What were the causes and consequences of the decline of the Mughal empire
The period from 1526 to 1707 is known as Mughal India. Decline of the Mughal Empire started with the death of Aurangzeb in 1707.
The Mughal Empire was founded in India in 1526 by Babur. The Empire was powerful until 1707. Decline of the Empire started from 1707 with the death of the last powerful King Aurangzeb. Absolute decline of the Mughal Empire happened in 1857.
The death of Aurangzeb, the 6th Mughal Emperor, in 1707, marked the decline of the Mughal Empire. The Mughal Empire ended when Bahadur Shah Zafar (1837-1857), was sent to Rangoon as a prisoner by the British, followed by the 1857 war of independence. He died in 1862.
Aurangzeb was the Mughal Emperor that died on 3 March 1707; however, he was not the last Mughal Emperor. After his death the Mughal dynasty's control declined. Bahadur Shah II was the last Mughal Emperor and he did not die until 7 November 1862.
The Mughal's didn't follow any laws of succession. each time a ruler died, a war of succession started between the brothers for the throne. this weakened the mughal Empire, especially after Aurangzeb's death. the nobles by sitting with one contender or the other, increased there power. Aurangzeb failed to realize that the vast mughal empire depended on the willing support of the people. he lost the support of the rajputs who had acted as pillars of support, but Aurangzeb's policies turned them to bitter faces. the wars with the rajputs had drained the resources of the mughal empire. Aurangzeb's long wars in the south had further drained the treasure of the mughal empire. the invasions of Nadir shah and Ahmed shah Abdali resulted in further drainage of their wealth. these invasions of Nadir shah shook the stability of the empire. the mughal empire had become too large to be controlled by any ruler from one center for example Delhi. nearby provinces become independent. the rise of independent states led to the decline of mughal empire.
