The Mughal Empire was India's last dynasty before modern India. The Qing dynasty was China's last dynasty before modern China. The Indian Mughals were the most wealthiest civilization on Earth at the time, while the Chinese Qing were the most technologically advanced at the time. Both empires were dominate until the 19th century, until Europe finally found a way to defeat Asia! Divide and conquer, lie, cheat, and steal (no offense Europe, at least you finally got the power after that long slumber during the Middle Ages).

So who would win in a war betweem Mughal India and Qing China at their heights. Let's say Mughal India vs Qing China during the 1700s (right before the rise of Napoleon of France in Europe). Both civilizations used gunpowder weapons and guns.......so it is hard to say. One military advantage I see for Mughal India that Qing China doesn't have (and worked well against Alexander the Great a couple thousand years before) is War Elephents. During the Mughal's time they even combined War Elephents with heavy rocket canons and gas bombs. However one advantage of China is that they were more unified as one people, while India was less unified like Europe.

What do you think? Vote in the poll and discuss.

If they fought in China, then the Qing Dynasty would win.

If they fought in India, then the Mughal Dynasty would win.

But If they fought in the border between the China and India, then we will never know.
