Historical Briefing:

Following the reign of Abbas II, signs of a Safavid decline could be seen. He sought French aid against Constantinople, in return for commercial preferences. His son Safi II left running of the government largely to palace eunuchs. In 1668 he assumed the throne under the name of Shah Suleiman, while his hostile neighbors pushed into Iranian territory unimpeded. Safi's son Sultan Husein submitted himself completely to the rule of Shiite clerics. When he began forced conversions of the Afghan Sunnis, who had been subjugated in 1648, he provoked a revolt of the Afghans. In 1709 they murdered the Persian officals and soldiers and delcared Afghanistan independent. In 171 the Afghans marched into Persian under theur leader Mir Mahmdu, and conquered the country. Sultan Husein was executed in 1726.

Although Mahmud declared himself shah in 1722, two shadow rulers of the House of Savaid continued to claim control until 1736. During the reign of the last Safavid, Abbas III, General Nadir of the Afshar, a Turkmen tribe, rose to power.

Nadir drove the Afghans out of Isfahan in 1726 and by 1730 out of all of Persia, seized Azerbaijan, and the Caucasus from the Ottomans, and then ascended the throne in 1736 as Nadir Shah.

@infiltratorr nonsense

[Ariobarzanes1388]

I am deeply saddened by these stupid arguements. Afghan, Persian, Kurd, Turk, Arab etc. formed Persia or the greater Iran. We were and are brothers despite our national borders. why can't we live in harmony and cherish our similar culture and language instead of insulting ourselves by insulting brothers. Life is too short brothers and sisters let's live with love for one another instead of hating because of some minor differences.

[AfghanResistance]

@sobibozz There is a difference between the persians invading afghan lands and ruling them. safavid empire at its greatest extent only included the western two small provinces of afghanistan but not for long the afghan pashtuns raised an army 1/4 the size of the persian army but still defeated the super power of the day and went onto to conquer the whole of persia and sit on the thrown of the city of isfahan, which was there capital then.

[sobibozz]

@AfghanResistance Many Persian dynasty ruled Afghanistan for example the Safavis, The Afsharids, The Achaemenids, The Sassanids, the Parthians, the Kartids.
