In the centuries that followed, the Ghaznavids, the Ghurids, the Delhi Empire, the Mughals, the Durranis and the Sikhs invaded and conquered the Punjab. During the rule of the Mughal Empire, the Punjab reached its zenith, which ruled from Lahore for a time. During the 18th century, Nadir Shah's invasion of the Mughal Empire ended Mughal rule in the Punjab and thus spread chaos.The Durrani Afghans under Ahmad Shah Durrani captured the Punjab, but after a successful uprising, they lost to the Sikhs, who gave Lahore to the Sikh forces in 1759.
