In the long history of Persia, Safavid Persia experienced more than 200 years of ups and downs from its rise in 1501 to its demise in 1736. Founded by the Persians, it became the third Persian state in the history of Iran, inheriting the historical heritage of the Persian Empire and Sacha Persia.
The fall of the Mongol era and the rise of the Turkmen nomadic tribes.
In 1355, after the Mongol Yilie Khanate was conquered by the Mongol Golden Horde, the Mongolian Zalayil Sudan, the Black Sheep Sudan, and the White Aries Sudan State appeared in Iran. Among them, the Black Sheep Kingdom and the White Sheep Kingdom were established by the Iranian Turkmen nomadic tribes. With the rise of the Timur Empire, these states submitted one after another, but after the brief glory of the Timur Empire, they were revived, only to fall into infighting and change one after another.
Sudan Uzong Hassan of the Aries Sudan Kingdom has international dealings.
In the fifteenth century, Sudan Uzong Hassan of the Aries kingdom became the dominant power in the country. His name is mentioned in the Romanian film "Princes of Stefan", and he maintained friendly relations with Stefan, the prince of the autonomous principality of Moldova. During this period, the Aries Sudan Kingdom began to integrate into international exchanges.
The rise of Ismaili I and the rise of the Redheads.
In 1501, Safavid Persia rose to prominence in Tabriz, led by the founding lord Ismaili I. With the support of the Turkmen tribesmen's armed "Red Heads", he succeeded in eliminating the state of Aries and became the ruler of Iran, and was given the title of Sha, becoming a ruler at the level of a king. The Red Heads became the main armed force of Safavid Persia thereafter.
The Birth and Evolution of the Safavid Order.
Safavid Persia takes its name from its ancestor, Safavid al-Din, who founded the Safavid Order. The Safavid Order was originally a branch of the Sofi sect, but when it reached the *** elder Zhuned, it was converted to Shia. Haidar, the son of Juned, transformed the Safavid Order into a military organization, with members wearing red hats symbolizing the twelve Shia imams, popularly known as the "Red Heads Army". Haidar's eldest son, Ali, was killed by the Aries Saudan in 1494, and the second son, Ismaili, succeeded him as an elder and successfully destroyed the Saudan Aries and founded Safavid Persia.
The doctrine of Safavid Persia proclaimed with political power.
Unlike other Sofi orders, Safavid Persia severed ties with the Sofi Order in order to flaunt the legitimacy of the regime. They claimed that Safavid al-Din, the founder of the Safavid Order, was a descendant of Musa Qazim, the seventh Shiite Imam, and that the teachings of the 12 Imams were the state religion of Safavid Persia. The Twelve Imams are the main sect of Shiism, and they worship Ali and eleven of his direct descendants as imams, believing that the twelfth Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, is a "reclusive imam" who will reappear as a savior in the future and establish a righteous and peaceful world.
The heyday of Abbas I and the advent of Afshar.
Safavid Persia reached its heyday during the reign of Abbas I through military reforms and a series of wars. However, after the death of Abbas II, the state gradually declined. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, there was a continuous rebellion in Afghanistan in the country, which formed a feudal separatism, and even in 1722, the Pashtuns captured the capital Isfahan and took control of Iran. The Safavid royal family was forced to flee to Tabriz for help from mixed Turkic-Persian tribes, among which the Afshar tribe rose to prominence. They succeeded in expelling the Afghans and became warlords, and their leader Nader Shah destroyed Safavid Persia in 1736 and established the historical Afshar dynasty in Iran.
The contest between the Eastern and Western Fronts and the game of international politics.
Safavid Persia fought a long and fierce battle with the Ottoman Empire mainly on the Western Front, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. On the Eastern Front, they fought for Afghanistan with the Indian Mour Empire, eventually achieving domination of western Afghanistan. At the same time, the Mour Empire mastered eastern Afghanistan. France allied with the Ottoman Empire and flanked the Habsburg Emperor;The Habsburgs, on the other hand, allied themselves with Safavid Persia and flanked the Ottoman Empire. Safavid Persia was a vast territory spanning present-day Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
