While Kasravi argues that the Safavids were indigenous inhabitants of Iran (i.e., Indo-European rather than Turkic), various early editions of Safvat al-Safa call Sheykh Safi al-Din 'Pir-i Turk', or 'Master/Guide of the Turks'. Later scholars, on the other hand, postulate various other possibilities for the family's ethnic and linguistic background, including Arab and Kurdish. Safavid chronicles begin their narrations of the origins of the Safavids with Safi, who was burning with the love of God' even at a young age and was known for his inquisitive nature. 26 He was not only wise and fluent in six languages (Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Mongolian, Kurdish and Gilani), but also showed signs of 'blessed ness' as the ancestor of a dynasty that would rule the entire time and place.

Their interest was in Europe

You may want to add a few updates to the video: 1. Iranians have always (since 2500 years ago) called the country Iran, not Persia. It is foreigners who insist on calling it by the wrong name Persia, so Iranians formally registered the country as Iran in 1935 so others would stop calling it Persia. Persia only one of States in Iran. In the example of US, do we call USA, New York? Of course not! 2. Also Iran is not pronounced how you pronounce (I Ran!), the correct pronunciation is EErAAn. The correct pronunciation is not "I Ran" or "A Run". Iran means land of Aryans. But the term Aryan does not have the Nazi connotations that since 1940s the world has associated the German Nazis. Although, several thousand years ago, Iranian tribes lived on Danube near where today is eastern German. Over the millennia Iranians went east and first settled in where today in Ukraine and southern Russia and you probably know the rest.. Iranian tribes settled in current Iranian geography are not native to that land. 3. Remember that the Eastern Roman Empire where the Country of Turkey is located at, was at war with Iran for about 800 years which exhausted both Iran and Eastern Roman Empire and weakened their economies and populations to the extend that when Arab hordes attacked Iran (7th century) it took the Arabs 200 years to impose their religion on Iran. 4. The weakened Eastern Roman empire was also exhausted and became ripe for invasion by Central Asian Turkic tribes and the Arabs that the Turks had conquered.. 5. Iran has a very difficult geography and Iranians can defend that territory pretty well, with a few devastating exceptions. Even with today's techno based militaries it will bleed a foreign invader. 6. Monday night quarter backing: It would have been advantageous for both Eastern Roman Empire and Iranians to settle their issues after over 700 years of fighting diplomatically so neither would be invaded by non-European armies. If that had happens, I doubt if the Mongols could have defeated the Sassanid militaries of Iran, or the Seljuks ....

Topography was not the main reason. The Iranian empire's strength was the main factor. For instance, at the end of the Safavid Empire when Iran was in chaos and Afghans occupied the Iranian capital (Isfahan) the Ottomans captured a large chunk of Western Iran and Eastern Iraq which was under the control of Safavids. Nader Shah later dealt Ottomans a decisive defeat and later on even the Qajar dynasty defeated them when they were not at the height of their power. All along its long history, Iran has been either very powerful with substantial influence in the region and beyond or it was occupied by the foreigners when the central government was weak.; there was no middle ground due to its strategic location in the world. It was not just Ottomans that were stopped at the border of Iran, Romans also tried very hard to conquer Iran or at least annex part of it but they failed because at that time powerful dynasties (Parthian and Sassanian) were in power.

Throughout history, the Persians had powerful empires such as the Achaemenids, Sassanids, Samanids,

I’m usually not picky with historical videos, especially when they cover overlooked topics, but boy was this a mess. This wasn’t even much of a “why” Iran resisted Ottoman expansion as it was a summary of what happened- and a poor one at that. We barely have a reason for why the two had hostile relations and no exploration of something like long-standing goals or geopolitical ambitions (did Iran want *all* of the Ottoman Empire? What were the Ottoman’s goals with this conflict?) and yet we get a mention that it’s far to walk from Constantinople to Iran. But why is Iraq achievable but the rest too far? If the mountains are an obstacle how did Khuzestan (the bottom left corner of Iran) stay unconquered? Were none of the wars worth exploring in-depth as a good example of long-standing obstacles both countries faced? I barely feel like I came out of this learning anything more than the basics. If someone took this video at face value, they would think walking is the critical danger to armies, rather than extended supply lines or overextension. Hell, we don’t even know *why* the Jannisairies got upset midway through the most successful invasion of Iran.

Jannisairies were professional troops of the Ottoman Empire and they had salaries from the crown. Their other source of income was looting from enemy cities. Persians destroyed their own land so there was nothing to loot. That's why they were not enthusiastic about that.

Not to nitpick but the pronunciation is also quite a mess

Excellent history I love older history I got good history 🙏🏻❤

Indeed, when Isma'il captured Tabriz in 1501 he proclaimed himself in pre-Islamic Iranian political terms as Padishah-i Iran. In using the Persian term "Padishah," to describe his status in "Iran," he was repeating pre-Islamic Iranian political and geographical/political terminology that had only recently been revived by the Il-Khanid Mongols and used also by the Aq Quyunlu. His invocation of these terms suggests he thought of himself as a political heir of hismatrilineal relatives, the Aq Quyunlu. The ancient term "Iran" had fallen out of use following the Arab-Muslim invasions and had not been used by the Caliphs, or their successors, the Samanids, or the many Turkic dynasties that succeeded them. A final irony of Isma'il's use of the term "Iran," or in one of his poems the phrasemulk-i 'Ajam, the "state" or "kingdom of Iran," is that even though Tabriz, Azerbaijan, and Mesopotamia represented provinces of the pre-Islamic Shahanshahs, the "kings of Kings" of Iran, there is no evidence that Isma'il imagined himself to be reconstituting a new Iranian empire; rather he planned to establish a messianic Shi'i state on Aq Quyunlu foundations. Within the decade following his capture of Tabriz in 1501, Isma'il occupied the geographic center of the pre-Islamic Achaemenid and Sasanian Iranian empires. He did so, though, with Oghuz tribes whose knowledge of the Shah-nama and the glories of pre-Islamic Iranian kingship was almost certainly limited to inchoate oral traditions one of his poems the prasenik-i Ajail, he "state" or "kingdom of Iran," is that even though Tabriz, Azerbaijan, and Mesopotamia represented provinces of the pre-Islamic Shahanshahs, the "kings of Kings" of Iran, there is no evidence that Isma'il imagined himself to be reconstituting a new Iranian empire; rather he planned to establish a messianic Shi'i state on Aq Quyunlu foundations. Within the decade following his capture of Tabriz in 1501, Isma'il occupied the geographic center of the pre-Islamic Achaemenid and Sasanian Iranian empires. He did so, though, with Oghuz tribes whose knowledge of the Shah-nama and the glories of pre-Islamic Iranian kingship was almost certainly limited to inchoate oral traditions. Isma'il was reconstituting the Aq Quyunlu state in these conquests, and like that of the Aq Quyunlu, the ultimate focus of his ambitions was eastern Anatolia, where his father and grandfather and he himself had proselytized among the Turks. Dale, S. (2009). The rise of Muslim empires. In The Muslim Empires of the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals (New Approaches to Asian History, pp. 48-76). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

The reasons: 1. the policy of burned land, means destroying the supplies in ottoman way and sometimes ottoman logistics.for example when Abbas took Baghdad back. which mentioned in video. 2. changing the ideology of the Persia to Shia and even Safavid rapeadly. 3. Cooperation of the people of the Iran. The Safavid empire was mostly based on Ghezelbash turks in army and Tajik (Fars) people governing civil aspects of the empire. Then in Abbas era a second army from Armenians, Georgians and kerkeses (not sure how to write the last one) added. For example Abbas gave Tabriz by an act between war and revolution. and Kurds let Safavids to go through mountains but attack ottomans, even Armenians, Georgians, ... were better with Safavids and even Armenians help persia in Qajar era. The Safavids also have good relationship with people inside their borders and evacuate them in run aways.

Because the Persians have been very tough and very skilled for millennia, combining military strength and high culture. Even when they were conquered by Turkic nomadic empires, they assimilated their conquerors (like the Greeks did with the Romans) You can still see it today: Iran controls a New Persian Empire, with huge influence in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. And through the Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah it has managed to do more damage to Israel than all Arab states combined.

The reason Persians were defeated in the first couple of battles was that they still fought with swords, lances, and bows, whilst Ottomans had artillery from the begining, until England sent Sir William and Sir Robert Shirley to Persia to give Persians the technology to make guns and canons, in order to keep Ottomans from advancing in Europe. After Persians had Artillery they managed to retake their own territories and the balance was more or less maintained.

For the first tine in many years mention was made of the "Iranian Turks" issue in a programme, in which it was stated that, "There are Turks living in every region of Iran who remained under Turkish rule for a millenium. Azeris in the West, Turkmens and Horasan Turks in the East, Kaskai and Eynalhis in the South constitute the majority of Iran's population". The programme was also an answer to the Iranian claim to be a 2500-year-old empire and recalled that 1000 of these passed under Turkish rule. It noted that with Persian education ig primary school , the Iranians are making the Turks forget their mother tongue . Thus for the first time , Turkey is taking an interest in the Iranian Turks and warning the Iranians about their extremist reaction to the new transit tolls . The Pulse: Daily Review of the Turkish Press. Vedat Uras. 1980.

First thing first: the pronunciation of Iran is" /ɪˈɹɑːn/" and not" /aiˈɹɑːn/". Second: inhabitants of Iran from the time of Achemindas throughout history called their country "Iran ", not "Perse or Persia".This has been mentioned in inscriptions dating to 2500 years back up to modern times in books. The name" Persia" was given to this country by the Greeks and remained the same for Western countries till the 1930s when Iran formally declared to other countries that its ancient name "Iran" was the genuine and correct one. Perse and afterward Perias, a colloquial type of word "Pars" used by Greeks, is the name of the homeland of the Acheminedas dynasty and a small part of their empire that now is a province of Iran.

A very well made and informative video. The only thing that kept bothering me was "Iran" being pronounced as 'eye-ran' instead of 'ee-ran'.

1821-1823 war was rather interesting, It happened on two fronts, one Persian army led by the Crown prince pushed deep into Anatolia defeating several minor Ottoman armies before routing a 50k strong force from Constantinople in the battle of Erzerum, while in the southern front eldest prince of Persia pushed into Iraq, capturing several towns and besieging Baghdad itself which came very close to falling, however, due to several problems; 1-Untimely and Suspicious death of Prince Dowlatshah, the commander of the force besieging Baghdad, 2- British Supported revolted in Herat and 3- the pressure of court members for peace, Shah of Persia was forced to order negotiations for peace and eventual status quo antebellum.

Why march aceoss Anatolia? My first thought would be to sail with an army to Georgia or a nearby Ottoman controlled beach, and then attack the western part of Persia from the Caucasus region.

Undoubtedly, one of the biggest known mistakes is that Firuz Shah is regarded as a Kurd. This is never possible. Firuz Shah Zerrinkülah is not a Kurd, his name is Kızıl Bork Firuz. Kızıl Bork came to Mugan and Arran with a ruler descended from Ibrahim Ethem, and after he conquered this place, he resided in Ardebil. The author in Safvetü's Safa that Firuz Shah came from Sencan, and Ahmed Kesrevî, by not making sufficient academic studies, said that there was no such region as Sencan, that since "Firuz Shah el-Kürdî" is mentioned in Safvetü's Safa, Sinjar is the closest to the word Sencan, He said that Ibn Bazzaz wrote it wrong. Sinjar's being in Iraq and the passing of al-Kurdi nisba made Firuz Shah a Kurd. However, it is wrong, in al-Baghdadi's work he wrote that a region called Sencan was near Merv . In the corpus of Hata'i, it is written that the Sencan region is located in Nishapur and its surroundings . In addition, the word "Kurd" in the nisba of Firuz Shah "al-Kürdi" is used differently even then and now even thought it was moreover used for Nomads. Even Mazenis still use the word Kurd, which means "Nomad and Shepherd", as shepherd. It was called "Ekrâdi (Kurdish) Turkmani” in order to introduce the nomadic Turkmens in the Ottomans . Also, we wrote in the title that Firuz Shah came with a commander from the lineage of İbrahim Ethem. Let's not forget that İbrahim Ethem was from Khorasan... Firuz Shah definitely came from the Khorasan or Turkistan region, he is clearly Turkish. In the important Safavid source the Âlemârâ, it is written that Firuz was a Turk. (Source: İskender bey Münşi, "Tarix-aləm Aray-i Abbasi", sah.109. Alemara (Sahib), p.1; Alemara (Şükri),p.3. İskender bey Münşi, "Tarix-i aləm Aray-i Abbasi", sah.28.)

One reason I can think of why Persia has only been conquered twice in history and never colonized during the Industrial Age is because of it's rocky and mountainy geography. Persia or Iran would be a very hard nation to conquer due to it's rocky geography alone as Persia/Iran might have one of the best defensive geographical advantages in the world compared to many countries. I think geography has been on the Persians' side throughout history.

I find it interesting to note that these types of geographic features have been stable borderlands for large empires dating all the way back to the earliest of empires. Hittites, Assyrians, Akkadians, Babylonian all empires who’s borders at one point stopped at those ranges bordering the Mesopotamian plains. Can you conquer beyond those lands? Oh absolutely as proven by madlads like Alexander, but it’ll take an exceptional amount of dedication and investment to expand outside your civilization’s natural borders and it inevitably results in those lands eventually breaking off, sure maybe you hold it for a few years, decades, Maybe a few centuries if you’re good, but inevitably your civilization defaults to its natural borders. I think the reason why the ottomans didn’t take Persia is purely practical, they had plenty of land to work with and plenty of problems associated with just keeping those, much less further flung ventures into the mountains of Iran.

Yeah, the Ottomans just dealt the final blow to a dying state.

From "Suleiman the Magnificent" by Andre Clot: On 2nd April 1535, the sultan and his army left Baghdad for Tabriz. They took 3 months to cross Kurdistan and the region of Lake Ourmia. Although it was a good time of the year, the march proved difficult and the sultan gave out gratuities to his soldiers when they arrived. He took up residence in the Shah's palace. He no doubt believed that he would be able to meet Tahmasp in battle straightaway and finish with the Persian menace once and for all. But the shah, as always, had retreated with his army. The terrain favoured his strategy, while for Suleiman the distance between his bases made provisioning difficult, not to say impossible. His army was too heavy and not mobile enough to fight an enemy which was so hard to pin down. To set off into the mountains or deserts of Iran would have been madness - the Turkish army would never have returned. Ibrahim's plan to conquer the whole Iranian plain as far as Ray, Qom and Kashan could never succeed. After spending 2 weeks at Tabriz, Suleiman gave the order for departure. The campaign which had brought great glory to the empire with the capture of Baghdad, but also great losses, could not be prolonged. About 30,000 men had died, mainly of hunger and cold, and 22,000 horses and camels had perished. The troops had neither the morale nor the stamina to face another winter on campaign.

The Eyalet of Cyprus (Ottoman Turkish: ایالت قبرص, Eyālet-i Ḳıbrıṣ) was an eyalet (province) of the Ottoman Empire made up of the island of Cyprus, which was annexed into the Empire in 1571. Correct your map!

I had a discussion about the borders of the ottomans and came to the conclusion that they stopped where they did because on the other side was a major power. Russia, the HRE, Poland and even Spain were all of similar stature to the Ottoman Turks, hence why they’re borders ended where they did. But it’s also interesting to note that they also stopped at natural borders like the mountains of Iran, Ethiopia and the caucuses and the deserts of Africa and Arabia. Those mountains in Iran are a disaster to move soldiers and rule and empire on the opposite side of, the only real successful people who managed it were the Ancient Persians with their de-centralised local governments which essentially meant they didn’t have to directly control the empire over the mountains, at least not directly. It’s interesting to me that the ancient Persians managed to rule an empire across those mountains, but no one else really succeeded, Alexander, the mongols and the caliphate would all kinda splinter along that very line, but the Persians managed to hold it together, as I said my theory is the satraps and the de-centralisation made it a lot easier than the empires that would follow 🤔

The Persians didn't conquer these lands, this is their homeland. The various cultures that existed in these lands before the Median confederation formed to fight the Assyrians, became the central pillars of the later Achamenid empire, and eventually evolved to what became the Aryan people, which is where the name Iran comes from. The Persians were and are still just one of the many groups of people that make up modern Iran. So no one has conquered and ruled these lands. It has always been the land of the Aryan people, and still is.

The Azerbaijanis derive in part from a heritage of Turkic rule over Iran, during most of the past 1,000 years. Iranadopted the Shi'a version of Islam under the rule of the Safavid Azerbaijani Turks beginning in 1500.

The Battle of Chaldiran took place on 23 August 1514 and ended with a decisive victory for the Sunni Islamic Ottoman Empire over the Shia Islamic Safavid Empire. As a result, the Ottomans annexed Eastern Anatolia and northern Iraq from Safavid Iran. Ottoman-Safavid War (1532-1555) was the Ottoman victory over the Safavids. Ottomans gain large parts of Mesopotamia (Iraq), Western Iraq, Western Armenia, and Western Georgia. ... Ottoman-Safavid war (1603-1612) was the Safavids' victory over the Ottomans. Safavids regained control over the territories ceded in 1590 to the Ottomans; Azerbaijan, Georgia, Erivan Province, Daghestan, Shirvan, Karabakh, Lorestan, and Khuzestan. Ottoman-Safavid War (1623-1639) was the Ottoman victory over Safavids that resulted in the recognition of Ottoman control of Iraq.

During Russo-Turkish war of 1568, in our Russian sources it is noted that Ottomans tried to dig first Don-Volga canal in order to bring artillery on ships to conquer Astarkhan. So here is the question, why Ottomans never tried to dig something similar to Suez canal? Taking into consideration that by late 16th- early 17th century, Europeans could avoid Ottoman borders(which means high taxes) for Asian goods, Suez canal would really help turn tides, and reinforce Ottoman strategic position. Or am i missing something..

It is funny how commentator skips the fact that Safevids were not Persians but ethnically Turks themselves. Shah Ismayil was Azerbaijani Turk from Ardebil. Starting from 977 (Ghaznevids) territories of modern Iran were ruled by Turkic dynasties for the period of 900 years. So it is basically Turks fighting their own over religion (Sunni vs Shia). Nadir Shah (also Turk from Oghuz branch same as people of modern Turkiye, Azerbaijan and Turkmenia) was the one to offer peace and suggested to solve Sunni and Shia issue to stop unnecessary wars between the two Turkic nations, but it was declined by the Ottomans.

And yet, centuries earlier and with less well establish routes, and against a much mightier Persia in the sense of its place on the world stage, Alexander conquered Persia with relative ease.

In fact Ottomans tried to conquer Iran many times as they considered themselves the caliphate of Islam, but each time they were repelled and lost lands, in fact one of the reasons that stopped Ottomans from taking a much larger portion of Europe was in fact the presence of another rival in the east, that they always had to keep another eye on them, and it distracted their focus on their western expansions, in fact there are many exciting Ottoman-Persian wars in various eras, The Ottoman-Persian War (1821-1823) ended with the signing of the First Treaty of Erzurum, thus Iran-Turkey borders remained unchanged since.

They may have been Iranians or Turks, or even of Kurdish or Arabic origin, but their appeal was religious rather than ethnic or tribal. Devotion to the Safavid order was widespread among the Türkmen tribes of Azarbayjan and Anatolia. Safavid followers wore a distinctive red turban and were known as Qizilbash, or “red-heads.” The Safavid order was both Sufi and Shiite in orientation, and it is thanks to the Safavids that Iran is a Shiite country today. Religious overtones aside,in most other respects theirs was a typical turkish dynasty. As late as the 1660s and 1670s, a Frenchman at the Safavid court could still write: “Turkish is the language of the armies and of the court; one speaks nothing but Turkish there, as much among the women as among the men, throughout in the seraglios of the great; this comes about because the court is originally of the country of this language, descended from the Türkmens, of whom Turkish is their native tongue.
