The "Chinese" thus defined their nation as culturally and politically distinct from - and as the axis mundi of surrounding nations; a concept that continued well into the Qing Dynasty, although being continually redefined while the central political influence expanded territorially, and its culture assimilated alien influences.
Political power sometimes fell into the hands of powerful officials, eunuchs, or imperial relatives, often at the expense of a child heriditary emperor.
Examples of this include the jailing of political opponents and journalists, general control of the press, regulation of religions and other non-party organizations, censorship of the press, literature and film, and suppression of independence/secessionist movements.

The decline resulted from weak rulers, interference by the women of the harem in politics, the reemergence of qizilbash rivalries, maladministration of state lands, excessive taxation, the decline of trade, and the weakening of Safavid military organization.
Once again the eastern frontiers began to be breached, and in 1722 a small body of Afghan tribesmen won a series of easy victories before entering and taking the capital itself, ending Safavid rule.
Although Nader Shah achieved political unity, his military campaigns and extortionate taxation proved a terrible drain on a country already ravaged and depopulated by war and disorder, and in 1747 he was murdered by chiefs of his own Afshar tribe.

 "Braveheart" Politics
But the licence Gibson took throughout the movie was, as you so accurately perceived, of such significance that it shaped and massaged a political message directly relevant to 20th Century politics (as has been amply demonstrated by the widely-reported vociferous audience reaction at cinemas in Scotland).
And it went further, for in seeking to grant the paternity of Edward III to Wallace, Gibson denigrates the institution of monarchy, which is based on heredity, and invigorates its opponents.
That it should appear now, at a time when independence is a sensitive political issue in Scotland and an excuse to murder in Ireland, and stir blind emotions with falsehood, is entirely consistent with some of the more regrettable characteristics of "Western Civilization in the 20th Century".
