Questions #4-6 refer to the passage below.
"[Despite] his ferocity, his military genius and his shrewd adaptation of tribal politics to his imperial purpose,
Tamerlane's [Turko-Mongolic ruler who conquered much of Central Asia and the Middle East in the late 1300s and early
1400s] system fell apart at his death. As he himself may have grasped intuitively, it was no longer possible to... build a
Eurasian empire on [nomadic] foundations.... The Ottomans, the Mamluk state in Egypt and Syria, the Muslim sultanate
in northern India, and above all China were too resilient to be swept away by his lightning campaigns.
Indeed Tamerlane's death marked in several ways the end of a long phase in global history. His empire was the
last real attempt to challenge the partition of Eurasia between the states of the Far West, Islamic Middle Eurasia and
Confucian East Asia. Secondly, his political experiments and ultimate failure revealed that power had begun to shift back
decisively from the nomad empires to the settled states.... Lastly, his passing coincided with the first signs of a change in
the existing pattern of long-distance trade, the [overland Silk Road route] that he had fought to control. Within a few
decades after his death, the idea of a world empire ruled from Samarkand [Tamerlane's Central Asian capital] had become
[a fantasy]."
