against Malik Ambar . Shah Jahan annexed Ahmednagar in AD

The fight for Kandahar

Akbar conquered Kandahar but soon The Persians retaliated by attacking it in 1622 .

Shah Jehan rebelled against Jehangir and refused to go to save Kandahar .

The loss of Kandahar was a big blow for The Mughals as both trade suffered and it was easy to ward of the attacks of The West Asians and Central Asians with Kandahar in control

Relation with the Europeans

Jahangir was initially liberal with The Portuguese traders .

They incurred his wrath when they began to indulge in piracy and attack Mughal ships .

Trade with The East India Company flourished under Jahangir with a factory being set up in Surat

with her father.
