Mongol/Mughal Empire-10 points to first answer that helps!?

The Mughals were a Timurid dynasty from Persia that invaded India in the early 16th century.

The Timurid dynasty had been founded by Timur (known as Tamerlaine in the West) in the mid 14th century.He was a Turkicized Mongol, descended from the Ilkhanid Mongol tribes that had conquered Persia,Iraq,and Syria in the mid 13th century.The Ilkhanid Mongols progressively adopted local customs after their conquest of the region,and by Timur's time were mostly Muslim (as was Timur himself).

Hence,the connection between Mongols and Moghuls.

War elephants in Mughal armies:

Moghul armies could contain quite literally hundreds of war elephants;up to a third of these could be armoured.

Crew:

A driver,called a mahout.He carried a kind of hammer and chisel,which was used to sever the elephant's spinal column and thus kill it instantly if it began to run amok amongst troops in its own army.

One to four archers.

Later Moghul armies had crew armed with arquebuses rather than bows,and later still with muskets.One crewman might man an ultralight gun,a small cannon (about twice the calibre of a musket) mounted on a swivel attached to the edge of the howdah.About a third of war elephants in a given army might be so equipped with an ultralight gunner.

Tactics:

Elephants were deployed in the centre,and acted as mobile fire support platforms for the infantry.They were rarely used as a shock force;elephants are intelligent,and have a good natural fight-or-flight sense. Engaging them in direct charges against the enemy meant some of them would inevitably be killed,and this would increase the chances of the other elephants deciding 'flight' was the best option,leading them to trample their own troops in retreat and causing a panic,amongst both troops and elephants.

The role of the infantry and elephants in the centre of a Mughal battle formation was to pin the enemy army frontally,thus holding it in place and allowing the numerous Mughal cavalry on the wings to operate against the enemy flanks and rear,either rolling them up or surrounding them.

The Moghals have Mongol roots. They came to India from Central Asia via Afghanistan. The Mongol Empire was the empire of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, in China and northern Asia. The Mughals were an Indian dynasty. Battle tactics using elephants would have been adopted after their arrival in Afghanistan or India. I doubt that the Mongols used elephants at all. Elephants have been in use for warfare in India at least from the time of Porus, who resisted Alexander the Great.

I haven't looked, but most Wikipedia articles have a list of references at the bottom. That may give you some sources.

The Mongols and the Mughals are almost entirely different...if you don't even know that much...

...you are fu<ked, my friend.
