"40% economic impact of the world" is false when the US, China, and Eurozone have similar GDP levels. Russia's GDP is similar to Australia's or Canada's.

@A13b100 At the sphere of influence level, Arabia supports a Sunni proxy in Yeman while Iran supports a Shia proxy in Yemen. It's effectively a continuation "old world" conflict between Sassanid Empire (modern-day Iran) and Rashidun Caliphate (modern-day Saudi Arabia). Byzantine Empire (Christian orthodox) supported Sassanid Empire. In the modern day, the Christian orthodox majority Russian Federation supports Iran. Rashidun Caliphate imposed additional taxes on Zoroastrians i.e. Isalm religion was imposed with lower tax advantages. By the late 10th century, the majority of the Iranians had become Muslim. The rise of Safavids in the early 16th century and their forced conversion of Iranian Sunnis lead to rising of Shi'a Muslim faith in Iran. The USA followed UK's foreign policy support for Saudi Arabia after WW2. The old-world conflicts don't disappear until one side is completely annihilated and lost in history.

Russia's alliance with Iran is not new.

@CmonNowTellme Arabia has defeated Iran and Islam in Iran is the result of Arabia's conquest. Iran's Islam Shia fork is an attempt to separate itself from Arabia.

@lovaneygurung4373 The Maratha Empire (Maratha Confederacy) is responsible for ending the Mughal Empire over most of the Indian subcontinent. Maratha invasions of Bengal from 1741 to 1748. The Marathas invaded Bengal five times from August 1741 to May 1751 which caused widespread economic losses in the Bengal Subah. The resulting Nawab of Bengal is a tributary to the Marathas. Maratha invasion Rohilkhand 1750s. Nawab of Benga's tributary to the Marathas ended in 1758 when East India Company seized control of Bengal. Maratha invasion of Delhi 1761. Maratha–Mysore War in 1785-1785. The Maratha Empire soon allied with the British East India Company (based in the Bengal Presidency) against the Kingdom of Mysore in the Anglo-Mysore Wars. Before the First Anglo-Maratha War, Raghunathrao (Raghoba) became Peshwa and created an alliance with the East India Company with the Treaty of Surat. Maratha Empire was defeated by East India Company in the Third Anglo-Maratha Wars (1805–1818). British Raj was established in 1858 when the East India Company was dismantled by the British government.
