The Safavid Empire

[KamyarM]

the nightvision part was pretty epic.

[shai4ais]

did you ask permission from Vin Diesel for using "the soul taking trick" from the "Chronicles of the Riddick" movie?

[1989Alcira]

''if u like criminals u r criminals''

safavids they were criminals , they killed too many innocent civilian ppl as a groups because of their different religions and their different sects

[PAKIZFOLYFE786]

There were no difference between the Mughals and Savavid they both had same ancestor who was Genghis khan. So this video is just pure bullshit whos trying to spread hate. stupid ugly bastard

[madmadsam]

muslim empires are stupid instead of working together n taking over the whole world they fought themselves or the safavids got in the way of ottomans n mughals or they would have taken over the world!!! stupid safavids

[winskovable]

@madmadsam safavids like all Shia are not Muslims

[promotingShiism]

@winskovable Safavid's were Moslems. & Shi'ite's are Moslems. Just because you try to say that they aren't, does not mean that we are not. We are Muslims. Al Azhar University, the leading center of learning for Sunnite Islam, was actually a Shia Mosque when it began. The Sunnites conquered it.

[kig132]

@madmadsam

the case works with every empire lol

[infiltratorr]

ha ha AFGHANS DESTROYED THAT EMPIRE FROM FACE OF THE EARTH.

[nitroyoda]

Ya and we blasted them out of our country and took over their country

[infiltratorr]

when? haha only for a year and that was only a portion of westren afghanistan thats it,

[infiltratorr]

and if u r persian than nader shah was turkmen so forgt it, and after nader shah agian afghans(abdalis) conquered all eastren iran and tehran and esfahan were satraps of durrani empire HOHO

[Emilaze]

man those afgans were always bastards )) crazy cruel wild gay motherfuckers ))

[azarbadegan]

Safavids were also turkmen,so whats the big deal? both nader shah and safavids were Iranian and fucked your afghan mama hahaha

[BobMcCob]

Ottomans conquer the jainessaries... stunning knowledge.

[xekendaz]

what kind of fucking video is it?

[alifbah0]

Actually, the Ottomans defeated the Safavids from West, and the Pashtuns destroyed them from East ;). But, it was a great Empire, no denying it. They made Esfahan Nesf-e-Jahan.

[karabag79]

The Mughal Empire,Ottoman Empire and Safavid Empire all are turkic empires

[BobMcCob]

I thought the Safavid was native Persian and the Mughal were Turco-Mongol? not sure though

[OrkhanFromBaku]

Buddy you have mistaken or more true one-sided infromation about Safavid...it was indeed empire with turk origin which already has been proved completely..it's not suitable place for historical discussions..so i don't want to write many things..but in short i want to write that builder of this empire Shah Ismail Khataye was origin Turk who even has shown this in his every motions..the base was that in his period he was affirm turkish like official language in state (today's azeri turkish)

[OrkhanFromBaku]

i know there are many claims in history for showing of he persian or kurd origin..but everybody forget that the grand-grandfather of Shah Ismail's Seyx Saffi was a person who knew with his pseudonym PIR-I TURK.(sacred of turks)...of course even they forget that Shah Ismail was a poet with penname Khatayi who has wrote his DIVAN in azeri turkish.

[BAGHATURKCU]

Safavid was a Turkic Empire and Azerbaijan is taking its place.

[jakeGOW360]

Mughal are not Turkish Empire at all. They are Indian Empire. Mughals are Mongols-Indian-and later Persian not Turkish read a bet stop talking out of your ass.

[blunklaura]

good presentation :)

[AnarGege]

Safavid empire the best.

Main nations were Azeris and Farsi

[ozgurguerilla]

Nope They were mainly Kurdish and partly Azeris, Farsis were ruled by Kurds back then.

[Sloanie08eg]

kurds were living in caves andstilldo

[xtremeownage2]

The Mughals and Ottomans are way, way, way better than the Safavids! And owned em up!

The Safavids forced Sunnis to become Shia or die, NOT other religions. They killed Sunnis that did not convert, but let others live.

Thats why Iran and other places, which were once a majority SUNNI area are now a majority SHIA area.

Unlike the Sunni empires that allowed tolerance and peace to everyone, the Safavids did not to the Sunnis!

ALSO their are NO virgins in heaven, that is just PROPAGANDA

[chensamurai]

Lol... this was a "AP World Propaganda Project"

Propaganda is fun to play with. Control is so fun fun fun.

[Catz007]

lol - I mean, yes, the Safavids did do that. But the Armenian Genocide? The Alevis persecuted? The Greeks? I think you're looking at it a bit too biased.

[a55455in]

ALSO the Khazarians(who later converted to Judaism and are now known as Ashkenazi Jews) came from the same area as the Safavids.

[TheRoyalLoyal]

but i didnt learn anything about the Safavids ? :(

[chensamurai]

You weren't really supposed to. It was a propaganda campaign project. lol

[TheRoyalLoyal]

propaganda campaign ? :) lolz, prpaganda against whom ? :)

[chensamurai]

Propaganda doesn't have to be against anyone.

The whole point was to show how powerful and great the Safavid Empire was and how sucky the other 2 (Mughal and Ottoman) were.

Come on man, we took someone's soul. What could be more powerful than that :D?

[TheRoyalLoyal]

whahahhaaha, anyways :) its some kind of academical joke, right :) I am used to it froms some friends :) The point is that I adore history, and I love especially the history of empires :) especially that of Safadid Empire, because they are from our people: Azeri (Turkmens).

[chensamurai]

This video was based off of The Chronicles of Riddick. lol

It was a humorous AP World History presentation. I wouldn't call it a joke because it does get points across regarding Safavid silk and carpet sales, the role of women in Safavid Isfahan, and the degradations of the other empires.

Educational Entertainment. lol

[TheRoyalLoyal]

I have seen that [resentation, and in my view it was nothing but insult. Its true that Safavids werent industriliased, but that doesnt make them worhtless :) they made Iran a great nation with pride :)

are you American ? and do you study History ?

[chensamurai]

lol wat you talking about. The point of the vid wasn't to say much historical context. It was a humorous project for AP World History class, which btw is a "history" class. lol

No, I'm not American, far from it. hahaha

Why do you take such offense in just a basic video? It had nothing to do with pride nor industrialization. lol

[TheRoyalLoyal]

haha ok I just thought they were mocking with Safavids in order to attack Persians or Muslims :) They should make a similiar vid about Brtisch Empire, dont u think ? :) where are you from ? I am from Netherlands :)

[january5th]

are you stupid royal loyal? just because your people happen to inhabit the same territory as the safavid does not mean that you are related to them. i can't wait until the day iran gets turned into a glass parking lot by some good us nukes.

[TheRoyalLoyal]

"just because your people happen to inhabit the same territory as the safavid does not mean that you are related to them."

Not only we inhabit the same territory, but also we speak the same language. Is that not enough for you ? :)

" can't wait until the day iran gets turned into a glass parking lot by some good us nukes."

First i am NOT from Iran. Second, Iran will fuck USA. Iran posseses nukes for a long time, you retarded bastard :)

[january5th]

"Not only [...] you ? :)"

as do the chinese throughout all of the dynasties, even though the origin of the peoples have changed numerous times throughout the times.

"First i am [...] retarded bastard :)"

you sound like a terrorist to me so that's close enough. either way, iran does not have the long range missiles required to nuke anyone but themselves. so until the day they reach the same level of complexity as everyone else they will continue to act and live like monkeys.

[chensamurai]

Sorry... we spelled Garrett's name wrong. It should be "Garrett" with 2 t's instead of "Garret" with only 1 t.
