Because of Nader Shah, Iran kept its territorial integrity and remained a major force in the East. When Nader came to power, Iran was very close to be divided among Ottomans, Russians, and Afghans. He dealt such a total defeat to the Ottomans that after Nader, they never dare to attack Iranian territory until at the end of Qajar dynasty which was one of the weakest dynasties that ruled Iran.

Your title must be ""The Greatest General that Westerners never heard of" because most people in the Middle East, Central Asia and Indian subcontinent well know about Nader, some like Iranians admire him and some Indians curse him for good reason. By the way "Nader was not Napoleon of the East", "Napoleon was Nader of the West" because Napoleon was born after Nader died and it is known that Napoleon read about Nader and his brilliant tactics and strategies.

Thank you for your good video. I say this to those who believe that Afshar Safavi and Qajar are Turks First of all, there are archival sources, including the book, that during the time of Shah Abbas, Persian was declared as the official and middle language, and Shah Ismail chose the names of his children from the Shahnameh, like his successor (Shah Tahmasb). ). And except for those paintings written in Farsi next to Shah Safavi, owner of Iran and many other documents.... Those tourists who come to this land, all bring the name of Iran, even in the letters that were exchanged between Safavid or Afshar and Ottoman kings, the king of Iran named Khosrow or Dariush Zaman is mentioned. There are many documents about Qajar. For example, the National Bank of Iran, the National Council of Iran, all of these were built in the Qajar period, or the Khaqan literary association by order of Fath Ali Shah or the next king of Iran, Reza Shah, from the Pahlavi dynasty, had the highest military and political position in the Qajar period. Or the recorded voice of Muzaffaruddin Shah speaking in Farsi and mentioning the name of Iran. And the travel letters of Muzaffar al-Din Shah and Naser al-Din Shah, which are all Persian, and the name of Iran appears in them many times. Or in the contracts written with foreign countries, the name of Iran is written in it and nothing else Apart from that, all the important cities or capitals of these dynasties are in today's Iran and not outside the borders of today's Iran. Do not forget that most of the present-day countries of the Middle East belonged to Iran for a long time and were separated from Iran during the Qajar period. (part of Iran's civilization basin) The agreements that caused the separation of large areas from Iran during the Qajar era include: Golestan, Turkmenchai, Akhal Paris and... And don't forget that these periods that we say are the peak of the growth of Persian culture and literature in history, Persian language was the official language in India and Iran at that time. And in the Ottoman Empire, Persian is the language of the courtiers. (The language of poetry at this time is Persian) There are many cultural exchanges between Ottoman Iran and India. For example, take a look at the buildings built in Gorkani, India, such as the Taj Mahal, which was built by Iranian architects
His general Ahmad Shah Abdali was also great emperor in South Asia. Make video on him and his Durrani empire also plz. He also treated his grandson Shahrukh tolerantly.
In fact, Turkic-speaking peoples have played a major role in Iranian history, ruling the country from the eleventh century up to the early twentieth. Even today they represent more than a quarter of Iran's population. Foltz, R. (2016) Iran in world history. Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press. p.61
I hope this one day inspires native americans, amish, and other american tribes that tribal ancestry and humble beginnings should be sources of pride rather than shame. After all, they're the ones that always clean up the mess "civilized" folk leave behind after they inevitably cause total chaos through their corruption, greed, general incompetence, and apathetic tendencies towards others and then get fucked by their enemies.
Awesome video topic man. Also who else would you consider sheer forces of nature when it comes to military might, you mightve already featured him in a previous video, but what about a video devoted to Tamerlane, the man feared by his fellow Muslims, loved by the Christians, and whose ambition was the restore the Mongol Empire.
There are a number of inaccuracies and omissions in this documentary. I appreciate the effort and work you did and I think in general it's not a bad documentary however you fail to mention a few things like: The reason Nader Shah invaded India was because the Hotaki leadership had fled to India, because they were Persian citizens they were considered traitors to the Crown, and the Indian Mogol king would not return them to face justice, and not because India was so wealthy. Another inaccuracy is where you claim he enlisted in the military, but in reality it was because Nader could not be defeated in battle by either the governor or the king's forces they so they asked him to take leadership of their armies and gave him their daughters to marry. There are many more but I'll leave it there
So first off there are things that need to be left out for the sake of time. The first “inaccuracy” you bring up was just a pretext to justify Nadirs invasion of India. He had plans to invade it anyway. The rebels were just a political ploy to use in justifying it. Mohammad shah agreed to close the passage to the hotaks but there was little action taken to actually garante that. Nadir saw weakness on the part of the Mughals and took his shot but that was ultimately always the plan. The second “inaccuracy” is actually on your part because I never said he enlisted in the shahs army but rather that he was asked to join see 7:11. Appreciate the comment. Please inform me of anymore inaccuracies.
Wrong information. You made the Safavids look bad by ignoring the rich Iranian culture, which influenced the ottomans and Mughal gurkani empires. The court language of both the ottoman and Mughal empires was Farsi same goes with architecture and administration. They copied from the older Iranian dynasties, plus Babur could never conquer the Safavid Empire. That's why he chose to conquer India, plus his son Humayun took refuge in the Safavid Empire and, with the help of the Shah Tahmasp I, Shah Homayun managed to retake his throne
@@CurbYourEnthusiasm65 Kid Central and Eastern Turkey are majority Turkish only Southeast Turkey is Zaza and Kurdish and they dont consider themselves as "Iranics". Stop spreading bs
@@turkx6 You don't have a clue about this region plus if you prove to me with evidence from proven different sources the meaning and origin of the word Turk and their ancestral homeland then you will have all my respect
The Safavids, Afsharids, Qajars were all of Azerbaijani origins (Azerbaijanis are Turkic peoples), however, they were all culturally Persian, and the land they ruled was also Persia, hence why it is safe to refer to them as Persian despite their turkic origin.
Napoleon left durable institutions on which modern France was built up, including the Napoleonic Code, the judicial system, the central bank and the country's financial organization, military academies, and a centralized university. What this Naderjan left? What is his legacy? Nothing!!!
In "Shahnameh-ye Nadir," Nadir Shah is portrayed as a Turkmen ruler, reminiscent of Genghis Khan and Timur, and he claimed that he was a descendant of the same lineage as the Timurid Mughal Shah Muhammad: ''You(Muhammed Shah) and I share a common ancestor, Like two pearls from the same sea For my ancestors are Turkmens, Whose origins go back to the 'lord of two-centuries', Sahib-qeran(Timur)'' Mohammad ‘Ali Tusi (Ferdowsi-e Thani), Shahnameh-ye Naderi, ed.

Russians driven out of Caucasus for good, he circled around the Caspian sea and fought any Russian threat presented to the traditional sphere of Iranian influence.
As a Hindostani, I dont like him..but as a person who is interested in history ,specially that if Persia,Nader Shah is really a fascinating and an inspiring character...His invasion of Delhi was the last nail in the coffin of Ailing Mughal empire ...still I respect and bow against the mighty prowesss of this legendary warrior, who is comparable to Timur ,Mehmed sani or Selim Evvel ♥️🇮🇷🇮🇷
As Iranian person I am agree with you he's invasion to India was unnecessary He's Invasion was one of the main reasons that Britain took over power in india And that made some problems for us near 100 years later
@@hisenburger2 yeah true..his invasions completely exposed the unguarded northern borders which was later invaded by Afghab Ahmed Shah Abdali, which weakened both Mughals and Marathas ( two main powerhouse of Hindustan), giving advantage to the English... anywayshe was a great conqueror at par with Genghiz Timur Caesar ...❤🇮🇷🇮🇳🦁🦁
Надир-шах был бит общиной свободных горцев Дагестана(Андалал), в местности Согратль. Трофеи- его пистолеты и золотое перо, украшеное алмазами (украшение его головного убора), много лет спустя оказались в казне Имама Шамиля! Видя что битва проиграна, Надир-шах уезжая проклял тех из своих потомков, кто решит ещё раз придти в горный Дагестан!
We ourselves are of a Turkoman family , " says Nadir in one of his letters , “ and Mahomed Shah is a Turkoman , and the lineal descendant of the noble house of Gurgan .
Besides territorial integrity, two alternative concepts of sovereignty to replace the crumbling dynastic ideal can be discerned in Nadir Shah's negotiations with the Ottomans in the 1730s. Nadir proposed equal relations based, first, on Ottoman recognition of the legitimacy of Twelver Shiism as a fifth school of orthodox Islamic law. And second, he proposed something akin to an ethnic or national concept - equal relations based on Nadir Shah's identity as a member of the noble Turkmen family of peoples." Howard, D. (2017). A History of the Ottoman Empire. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. pp.192
Nadir shah is relatively ruled small area and population than it's u ni rivals mughals or ottomans yet he defeated them both decisively nadir is giga chad 😏😎
If the first assassination attempt had succeeded, and his son had survived, maybe his empire would have survived, thus making Iran into a stable and potential superpower.
Lmao, At that Era Nizam’s revolted at most of Mughal territories and Bajirao was failed to conquer Delhi and was defeated at Badshahpur 😂 while Nader Shah actually conquered Delhi and Made the Remaining Mughal empire of North his vassal
Great video. Not so sure Nader Shah left any great impact on the modern world and he was far from the only selfmade empire builder in History, but he is deffo an interesting character.
Everything we credit Napoleon for doing militarily came from Nadir Shah. Merit based structure, light Mobile artillery, command structure even the uniforms came from Nadir shah. Napoleon openly studied his tactics and generalship. He changed warfare forever.
@@sultanskinny I appreciate the comment, but in all respect, that is in my opinion not only an exaggeration of his innovational skills but also a misunderstanding of Nader Shah's person. I could point to several unrelated Rulers across the world who used merit based rule and appointments, even thousands of years before Nader, a fun example might be Wu Zetian in Tang-China around 650 ad, but most recently ofcourse Djengis Khan in the 13th century was famous for this, and he was the grand daddy of all Nader's big heroes, like Timur and Akbar the Great. The same goes for all his military accomplishments. All giants stand on the shoulders of other giants, as you yourself point out regarding Napoleon. Now Nader Shah had an interesting life and accomplished amazing things, but he is far from alone in having done what he did and in World History, I do not think he can be considered to have had a a great and lasting impact on the world we live in now. But what an incredible life and adventure indeed!
@@TheRealFeechLaManna you can have your opinion. But in the opinion of Napoleon and other 18th and 19th century generals Nadir Shah’s contributions were a game changer. None of the examples you provided utilized modern weaponry so they were not really relevant for the time. Ain’t nobody reading ghengis khan on how to use artillery and corps divisions. What made Nadir shah of particular interest was the speed and absolute destruction his armies were able to inflict on his enemies. Very few could destroy an army as fast. You don’t get called the second Alexander for nothing. You don’t have to believe he did anything great militarily. We have the greats to tell us that.

If he had been evel slightly less of a horrible person, his empire might have actually survived. His whole story reads like a cautionary tale against hubris.
Nader Shah did not end Islam power era . Islamic nation had already fallen behind in technology. Over 250 years before Nader Spain could build ships to sail to America .
If you want to see it that way sure but the only reason spain and Portugal built those ships was to trade with India because it was the largest economy at the time. That economy would grow under the Muslim Mughals. They couldn’t access these trade routes because the much stronger Muslim ottoman army blocked passage to the east. The ottomans were nearly invincible as even by the 1700s European armies were only capable of momentarily taking cities like Belgrade of which the ottomans reconqured. The ottomans had never suffered such a defeat so devastating until Nadir shah, and the Mughals were completely subordinate to him. Nadir shah had the most powerful army at the time and was the most powerful man of his era. Even Europeans acknowledged this power as they didn’t even have the confidence to challenge the ottomans the way Nadir did until Napoleons venture into Egypt. Sure they had boats. But Muslim empires were far more advanced in medicine, engineering and even philosophy at this time. It’s why you saw in this era so many Europeans visiting and mimicking the Muslims and not the other way around until the late 1700s early 1800s (after Nadir shah). European dominance of the world truly came with British domination of India which was after Nadir shah. He isn’t to blame for the entirety of Islamic powers decline (obviously) but his actions in weakening the most powerful empires in the world and destabilizing his own territorial domain due to his brutality definitely contributed to it. In my opinion at least.
Am I going to be the first to point out how funny it is that this guy's name is Nadir? (Meaning: "Lowest Point" in English). It sounds to me that Nadir had the same problems Tamerlane did. He could match Gengish Khan's brutality, military prowess, and gift for meritocratic leadership, but he couldn't replicate Temujin's statecraft, which enabled Gengish to build states that lasted after his death.
Decline of empires cannot be attributed to a ruler involved in parties. These are misconceptions. Causes are ususlky more complex involving political, economic and military issues. You need to really do some further research.
Yes usually they are.... But not in the context of the Safavids. It is pretty well known that the excessive partying, luxurious spending, drug use and alcoholism of the kings led to the decline of the empire. If your ruler is spending more time getting high on heroin than administering your country, the roots of its decline are not that complex.
The intro is sooooo wrong. Safavid Empire was extremely powerful and a gunpowder state. In fact they helped Babar gain control of India to form the Mughal Empire. They received gun powder and artillery from the Safavids. Later on Mughals lost multiple wars to Safavids.
Few soldiers in the safavid army used firearms. Swords and bows were the primary weapon as cavalry was more important to them than infantry. Nadir shah would change this. The Mughals on the other hand fully utilized firearms as did the ottomans. That’s why the label as gunpowder empire is somewhat inaccurate. It’s not the use of fire arms that matters it’s the standardization of it. And while yes the Safavids did beat the Mughals in battle, I would still argue that the Mughals were still more powerful in terms of their economic and political influence. The us lost to Vietnam and Afghanistan but we wouldn’t say that these countries are more powerful than the us. + the Safavids by the 1700s from which this video takes place was no longer the powerful empire of shah Abbas. It was a shell of its former self which is why it collapsed before the other two
He was from khorasan Turkmen and he said the name of iran on his coin and khorassan on his letter to osmani and there is 12 million turk in Iran and afsharid is one part of there history
On Nader's return to Iran, Sikhs fell upon his army and seized a large amount of booty and freed the slaves in captivity and Nader's army could not pursue them successfully as they were oppressed by the terrible heat of May, and being overloaded with booty.
Some how nadir was fitting against Slamic word, you can not classify him as slamic word and community, as for centuries they were the main threat to Persia and its people
Why do you attach his achievements with “Islamic” history? Is Napoleon “Christian” history? Or the Russian empire or the Dutch or the East India company? Why is it Europe vs “Islamic” world. Of course, the religion was central and a tool and fuel for colonialism before the European one (in which, religion was albeit used). Nadir Shah is a Persian legend and leave him at that. Stop Islam-peddling.. time for that is over.
Because Nadir Shah was not only Muslim but also altered the entire course of Islamic history. I didn't even mention his attempt in trying to create a new sect of Islam. Islam is central to his story and as is he to it.
Ahmad's chroniclers also adapted and reconfigured various legitimating devices from Nader's ruling ideology. This included labeling the Afghans (and in particularly the Dorrani family) as the “il-e jalil-e Afghan” or “il-e jalil-e Dorrani” in imitation of the phrase “il-e jalil-e Torkman” used by Nader's court historians.
Do video about Shapur I of Sassanian Empire the real nightmare of Roman Empire is victory were better than Nader Shah victory The Roman Empire army at there peak was almost 500,000 warriors so if Roman Empire exist today he was going to be 1 of the 10 largest army in the world today in 2023 that how big and powerful unified Roman Empire was without question one of the best and largest army compare to any Empire in history but when he come to war with Iran King Shapur I The Emperor Hunter made this Empire look like joke Rome was almost completely destroyed by him he killed 150,000 or more warriors out 500,000 warriors of Roman Empire in few battle is victory are better than Hannibal vs Rome by numbers and also is victory are as good as any military commanders or ruler in history just is victory vs Rome forget about Kushan Empire, Parthian Empire or any others that he beat also Valerian, the only Roman emperor captured alive in all history in only 3 battle the blows that Shapur inflicted upon the Roman army were indeed catastrophic and deadly since the time of Hannibal up to one third of Rome’s professional army (including officers) numbering around 150,000 troops or even more had been simply eliminated in only 3 battle ONLY 3 the greatest psychological blow was the capture of Emperor Valerian and his ceremonial chariot as commemorated in the Shapur inscriptions (SKZ -Shapur Kaba Zartusht- Greek lines 19-37) as well as the sites of Naghsh-e-Rustam and Bishapur. Never in the history of Rome had a Roman Emperor been captured alive. According to Ferril
In contrast to those Iranian officials who claim that the Turks in Iran were actually originally Persians, the late IRGC Commander Qassem Suleimani claimed that the descendants of Turkic dynasties that live in Iran are not Iranian. Suleimani claimed: "Turks are aliens and non-Iranians. For hundreds of years (during Turkic rule in Iran), Iran had no history. Non- Iranians like the Seljuks invaded and ruled Iran."74 Shaffer, B. (2023) Iran is more than persia: Ethnic politics in Iran. Berlin: De Gruyter.
Their dna is close to kurds and the only reason people there speak Turkic is because seljuks had large Turkic population set up there and made people there speak Turkic and turkified them even though people there were iranic plus qasim Solimani and irgc are hated by everyone anyways bro is beef cutlets now and people usually hate on him Trying to say iran had no history is an old pan-turk argument yeah they were turks so what still promoted iranian cultures we were under Turkic rule with only seljuks and kharazmians which also fell The qajar passports are also in farsi which you can't read 😂😂 Maybe just search for a qajar era passport pic And also there are many historical evidence that the turkic guys promoted iranic language and culture despite being ethnic turks and safavids also had Kurdish origins and Turkic origins as well hell even shah abbases mother was a mazani
being Iranian doesn't mean being Persian only, Khameni is not Persian but he speaks Persian and he is Iranian and he is leader of Iran, same we can say about Shah Ismail, Shah is a Persian word means King. And Iran always were a multi ethnic nation with Persian as national language but majority of population always were Persian exactly like today.
The Islamic dominant came to end because Age of Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution which was happening in 17 and 18 centuries didn’t happen in Middle East. Religious close mindedness in Islam prevented establishment of printings press in Iran and Ottoman Empire in 15 and 16 centuries. This lead to flourishing of science and industry in the west and not in middle east . Printing press was prohibited till mid 19 century. Golden Age Islam was finished by Mongols who mascured the population and Muslim scientists. The Mongolian destroyed the greatest library to humanity in 1300 because their culture at the time did not find any use for Baghdad and Persian Libraries. Genghis did to Persians what Hitler did to the Jews. The Modern Mongolia offends and ridicules the world by having Statue of Genghis.

@@sultanskinny ah I see
Thank you for your good video. I say this to those who believe that Afshar Safavi and Qajar are Turks
First of all, there are archival sources, including the book, that during the time of Shah Abbas, Persian was declared as the official and middle language, and Shah Ismail chose the names of his children from the Shahnameh, like his successor (Shah Tahmasb). ).
And except for those paintings written in Farsi next to Shah Safavi, owner of Iran and many other documents....
Those tourists who come to this land, all bring the name of Iran, even in the letters that were exchanged between Safavid or Afshar and Ottoman kings, the king of Iran named Khosrow or Dariush Zaman is mentioned.
There are many documents about Qajar. For example, the National Bank of Iran, the National Council of Iran, all of these were built in the Qajar period, or the Khaqan literary association by order of Fath Ali Shah or the next king of Iran, Reza Shah, from the Pahlavi dynasty, had the highest military and political position in the Qajar period. Or the recorded voice of Muzaffaruddin Shah speaking in Farsi and mentioning the name of Iran. And the travel letters of Muzaffar al-Din Shah and Naser al-Din Shah, which are all Persian, and the name of Iran appears in them many times. Or in the contracts written with foreign countries, the name of Iran is written in it and nothing else
Apart from that, all the important cities or capitals of these dynasties are in today's Iran and not outside the borders of today's Iran.
Do not forget that most of the present-day countries of the Middle East belonged to Iran for a long time and were separated from Iran during the Qajar period.
(part of Iran's civilization basin)
The agreements that caused the separation of large areas from Iran during the Qajar era include: Golestan, Turkmenchai, Akhal Paris and... And don't forget that these periods that we say are the peak of the growth of Persian culture and literature in history, Persian language was the official language in India and Iran at that time.
And in the Ottoman Empire, Persian is the language of the courtiers.
(The language of poetry at this time is Persian)
There are many cultural exchanges between Ottoman Iran and India. For example, take a look at the buildings built in Gorkani, India, such as the Taj Mahal, which was built by Iranian architects
Without a doubt one of the most charismatic and best rulers pf Iran
His general Ahmad Shah Abdali was also great emperor in South Asia. Make video on him and his Durrani empire also plz. He also treated his grandson Shahrukh tolerantly.
Long live Nader Shah of Iran❤️🇮🇷🇮🇷💪🏻

Hi. Will you cover Alauddin Khalji? He was known as Sikandar-i Sani just like Nader Shah.
I hope this one day inspires native americans, amish, and other american tribes that tribal ancestry and humble beginnings should be sources of pride rather than shame.
After all, they're the ones that always clean up the mess "civilized" folk leave behind after they inevitably cause total chaos through their corruption, greed, general incompetence, and apathetic tendencies towards others and then get fucked by their enemies.
Awesome video topic man. Also who else would you consider sheer forces of nature when it comes to military might, you mightve already featured him in a previous video, but what about a video devoted to Tamerlane, the man feared by his fellow Muslims, loved by the Christians, and whose ambition was the restore the Mongol Empire.
Tamerlane is featured in my "when the golden age didn't end" vid. But even in the beginning of doing this I knew I wanted to do a video on Nadir Shah.

One of the Greatest turcoman emperor ever
There are a number of inaccuracies and omissions in this documentary. I appreciate the effort and work you did and I think in general it's not a bad documentary however you fail to mention a few things like: The reason Nader Shah invaded India was because the Hotaki leadership had fled to India, because they were Persian citizens they were considered traitors to the Crown, and the Indian Mogol king would not return them to face justice, and not because India was so wealthy.
Another inaccuracy is where you claim he enlisted in the military, but in reality it was because Nader could not be defeated in battle by either the governor or the king's forces they so they asked him to take leadership of their armies and gave him their daughters to marry.
There are many more but I'll leave it there
So first off there are things that need to be left out for the sake of time.
The first “inaccuracy” you bring up was just a pretext to justify Nadirs invasion of India. He had plans to invade it anyway. The rebels were just a political ploy to use in justifying it. Mohammad shah agreed to close the passage to the hotaks but there was little action taken to actually garante that. Nadir saw weakness on the part of the Mughals and took his shot but that was ultimately always the plan.
The second “inaccuracy” is actually on your part because I never said he enlisted in the shahs army but rather that he was asked to join see 7:11.
Appreciate the comment. Please inform me of anymore inaccuracies.
Tnx
Very interesting, good job 👍🏼
Wrong information. You made the Safavids look bad by ignoring the rich Iranian culture, which influenced the ottomans and Mughal gurkani empires. The court language of both the ottoman and Mughal empires was Farsi same goes with architecture and administration. They copied from the older Iranian dynasties, plus Babur could never conquer the Safavid Empire. That's why he chose to conquer India, plus his son Humayun took refuge in the Safavid Empire and, with the help of the Shah Tahmasp I, Shah Homayun managed to retake his throne

You don't have a clue about this region plus if you prove to me with evidence from proven different sources the meaning and origin of the word Turk and their ancestral homeland then you will have all my respect
Nadir Shah was Qizilbash Turkmen. He was following Timur, Genghis Khan steps to establish Turanic Empire.
Good job my friend
The Safavids, Afsharids, Qajars were all of Azerbaijani origins (Azerbaijanis are Turkic peoples), however, they were all culturally Persian, and the land they ruled was also Persia, hence why it is safe to refer to them as Persian despite their turkic origin.
Napoleon left durable institutions on which modern France was built up, including the Napoleonic Code, the judicial system, the central bank and the country's financial organization, military academies, and a centralized university. What this Naderjan left? What is his legacy? Nothing!!!
Kurultai isn’t just a Mongolian thing it’s Turkic as well not to mention timur wasn’t Mongolian 14:47
It is Turkic word to just like Kurum and Kuruluş
In "Shahnameh-ye Nadir," Nadir Shah is portrayed as a Turkmen ruler, reminiscent of Genghis Khan and Timur, and he claimed that he was a descendant of the same lineage as the Timurid Mughal Shah Muhammad:
''You(Muhammed Shah) and I share a common ancestor,
Like two pearls from the same sea
For my ancestors are Turkmens,
Whose origins go back to the 'lord of two-centuries', Sahib-qeran(Timur)''
Mohammad ‘Ali Tusi (Ferdowsi-e Thani), Shahnameh-ye Naderi, ed. Ahmad Sohayli Khwansari (Tehran: Anjoman Athar-e Melli, no. 36, 1339/1960, 157 (vv. 3670-73)
Russians driven out of Caucasus for good, he circled around the Caspian sea and fought any Russian threat presented to the traditional sphere of Iranian influence.
Napoleon was the Nadir Shah of Europe.
As a Hindostani, I dont like him..but as a person who is interested in history ,specially that if Persia,Nader Shah is really a fascinating and an inspiring character...His invasion of Delhi was the last nail in the coffin of Ailing Mughal empire ...still I respect and bow against the mighty prowesss of this legendary warrior, who is comparable to Timur ,Mehmed sani or Selim Evvel ♥️🇮🇷🇮🇷
As Iranian person I am agree with you he's invasion to India was unnecessary
He's Invasion was one of the main reasons that Britain took over power in india
And that made some problems for us near 100 years later

Nader is Iranian king
Надир-шах был бит общиной свободных горцев Дагестана(Андалал), в местности Согратль. Трофеи- его пистолеты и золотое перо, украшеное алмазами (украшение его головного убора), много лет спустя оказались в казне Имама Шамиля! Видя что битва проиграна, Надир-шах уезжая проклял тех из своих потомков, кто решит ещё раз придти в горный Дагестан!
We ourselves are of a Turkoman family , " says Nadir in one of his letters , “ and Mahomed Shah is a Turkoman , and the lineal descendant of the noble house of Gurgan .

This guy makes for pretty interesting alternate history scenarios.
Besides territorial integrity, two alternative concepts of sovereignty to replace the crumbling dynastic ideal can be discerned in Nadir Shah's negotiations with the Ottomans in the 1730s. Nadir proposed equal relations based, first, on Ottoman recognition of the legitimacy of Twelver Shiism as a fifth school of orthodox Islamic law. And second, he proposed something akin to an ethnic or national concept - equal relations based on Nadir Shah's identity as a member of the noble Turkmen family of peoples."

Wikipedia says the Safavids considered the Mughals cakewalk as compared to their greatest threat the Ottomans.

Nadir shah is relatively ruled small area and population than it's u ni rivals mughals or ottomans yet he defeated them both decisively nadir is giga chad 😏😎
I never knew that the author of the book I’m currently reading was dead 😬
I know!!! It was recent too! What a loss.
If the first assassination attempt had succeeded, and his son had survived, maybe his empire would have survived, thus making Iran into a stable and potential superpower.
Nadir invaded the mughals after they had already been hammered by the great Maratha general bajirao.
But he defeated a much larger enemy.
The Mughals managed to defeat Baji Rao I...
Lmao, At that Era Nizam’s revolted at most of Mughal territories and Bajirao was failed to conquer Delhi and was defeated at Badshahpur 😂 while Nader Shah actually conquered Delhi and Made the Remaining Mughal empire of North his vassal
Oh I bet the camels just loved those tiny cannons on their backs.
Great video. Not so sure Nader Shah left any great impact on the modern world and he was far from the only selfmade empire builder in History, but he is deffo an interesting character.
Everything we credit Napoleon for doing militarily came from Nadir Shah. Merit based structure, light Mobile artillery, command structure even the uniforms came from Nadir shah. Napoleon openly studied his tactics and generalship. He changed warfare forever.
@@sultanskinny I appreciate the comment, but in all respect, that is in my opinion not only an exaggeration of his innovational skills but also a misunderstanding of Nader Shah's person. I could point to several unrelated Rulers across the world who used merit based rule and appointments, even thousands of years before Nader, a fun example might be Wu Zetian in Tang-China around 650 ad, but most recently ofcourse Djengis Khan in the 13th century was famous for this, and he was the grand daddy of all Nader's big heroes, like Timur and Akbar the Great. The same goes for all his military accomplishments. All giants stand on the shoulders of other giants, as you yourself point out regarding Napoleon. Now Nader Shah had an interesting life and accomplished amazing things, but he is far from alone in having done what he did and in World History, I do not think he can be considered to have had a a great and lasting impact on the world we live in now. But what an incredible life and adventure indeed!
@@TheRealFeechLaManna you can have your opinion. But in the opinion of Napoleon and other 18th and 19th century generals Nadir Shah’s contributions were a game changer. None of the examples you provided utilized modern weaponry so they were not really relevant for the time. Ain’t nobody reading ghengis khan on how to use artillery and corps divisions. What made Nadir shah of particular interest was the speed and absolute destruction his armies were able to inflict on his enemies. Very few could destroy an army as fast. You don’t get called the second Alexander for nothing. You don’t have to believe he did anything great militarily. We have the greats to tell us that.

If he had been evel slightly less of a horrible person, his empire might have actually survived.
His whole story reads like a cautionary tale against hubris.
Nice
Just realized I didn’t comment
Napoleon or Alexander weren't able to commit atrocities that Nadir shah would commit in Delhi alone.
Nader Shah did not end Islam power era . Islamic nation had already fallen behind in technology. Over 250 years before Nader Spain could build ships to sail to America .
If you want to see it that way sure but the only reason spain and Portugal built those ships was to trade with India because it was the largest economy at the time. That economy would grow under the Muslim Mughals. They couldn’t access these trade routes because the much stronger Muslim ottoman army blocked passage to the east. The ottomans were nearly invincible as even by the 1700s European armies were only capable of momentarily taking cities like Belgrade of which the ottomans reconqured.
The ottomans had never suffered such a defeat so devastating until Nadir shah, and the Mughals were completely subordinate to him. Nadir shah had the most powerful army at the time and was the most powerful man of his era. Even Europeans acknowledged this power as they didn’t even have the confidence to challenge the ottomans the way Nadir did until Napoleons venture into Egypt.
Sure they had boats. But Muslim empires were far more advanced in medicine, engineering and even philosophy at this time. It’s why you saw in this era so many Europeans visiting and mimicking the Muslims and not the other way around until the late 1700s early 1800s (after Nadir shah).
European dominance of the world truly came with British domination of India which was after Nadir shah. He isn’t to blame for the entirety of Islamic powers decline (obviously) but his actions in weakening the most powerful empires in the world and destabilizing his own territorial domain due to his brutality definitely contributed to it.
In my opinion at least.

Am I going to be the first to point out how funny it is that this guy's name is Nadir? (Meaning: "Lowest Point" in English).
It sounds to me that Nadir had the same problems Tamerlane did. He could match Gengish Khan's brutality, military prowess, and gift for meritocratic leadership, but he couldn't replicate Temujin's statecraft, which enabled Gengish to build states that lasted after his death.
Nader Shah.
Decline of empires cannot be attributed to a ruler involved in parties. These are misconceptions. Causes are ususlky more complex involving political, economic and military issues. You need to really do some further research.
Yes usually they are.... But not in the context of the Safavids. It is pretty well known that the excessive partying, luxurious spending, drug use and alcoholism of the kings led to the decline of the empire. If your ruler is spending more time getting high on heroin than administering your country, the roots of its decline are not that complex.
The intro is sooooo wrong. Safavid Empire was extremely powerful and a gunpowder state. In fact they helped Babar gain control of India to form the Mughal Empire. They received gun powder and artillery from the Safavids. Later on Mughals lost multiple wars to Safavids.
Few soldiers in the safavid army used firearms. Swords and bows were the primary weapon as cavalry was more important to them than infantry. Nadir shah would change this. The Mughals on the other hand fully utilized firearms as did the ottomans. That’s why the label as gunpowder empire is somewhat inaccurate. It’s not the use of fire arms that matters it’s the standardization of it.
And while yes the Safavids did beat the Mughals in battle, I would still argue that the Mughals were still more powerful in terms of their economic and political influence. The us lost to Vietnam and Afghanistan but we wouldn’t say that these countries are more powerful than the us.
+ the Safavids by the 1700s from which this video takes place was no longer the powerful empire of shah Abbas. It was a shell of its former self which is why it collapsed before the other two

Why do you attach his achievements with “Islamic” history? Is Napoleon “Christian” history? Or the Russian empire or the Dutch or the East India company? Why is it Europe vs “Islamic” world. Of course, the religion was central and a tool and fuel for colonialism before the European one (in which, religion was albeit used). Nadir Shah is a Persian legend and leave him at that. Stop Islam-peddling.. time for that is over.
Because Nadir Shah was not only Muslim but also altered the entire course of Islamic history. I didn't even mention his attempt in trying to create a new sect of Islam. Islam is central to his story and as is he to it.
He was a Turk legend ;)
@@sultanskinny yes, by your own logic i'd like to attribute all muslim history to jews.

Ahmad's chroniclers also adapted and reconfigured various legitimating devices from Nader's ruling ideology. This included labeling the Afghans (and in particularly the Dorrani family) as the “il-e jalil-e Afghan” or “il-e jalil-e Dorrani” in imitation of the phrase “il-e jalil-e Torkman” used by Nader's court historians.
Do video about Shapur I of Sassanian Empire the real nightmare of Roman Empire is victory were better than Nader Shah victory The Roman Empire army at there peak was almost 500,000 warriors so if Roman Empire exist today he was going to be 1 of the 10 largest army in the world today in 2023 that how big and powerful unified Roman Empire was without question one of the best and largest army compare to any Empire in history but when he come to war with Iran King Shapur I The Emperor Hunter made this Empire look like joke Rome was almost completely destroyed by him he killed 150,000 or more warriors out 500,000 warriors of Roman Empire in few battle is victory are better than Hannibal vs Rome by numbers and also is victory are as good as any military commanders or ruler in history just is victory vs Rome forget about Kushan Empire, Parthian Empire or any others that he beat also Valerian, the only Roman emperor captured alive in all history in only 3 battle the blows that Shapur inflicted upon the Roman army were indeed catastrophic and deadly since the time of Hannibal up to one third of Rome’s professional army (including officers) numbering around 150,000 troops or even more had been simply eliminated in only 3 battle ONLY 3 the greatest psychological blow was the capture of Emperor Valerian and his ceremonial chariot as commemorated in the Shapur inscriptions (SKZ -Shapur Kaba Zartusht- Greek lines 19-37) as well as the sites of Naghsh-e-Rustam and Bishapur. Never in the history of Rome had a Roman Emperor been captured alive. According to Ferril
In contrast to those Iranian officials who claim that the Turks in Iran were actually originally Persians, the late IRGC Commander Qassem Suleimani claimed that the descendants of Turkic dynasties that live in Iran are not Iranian. Suleimani claimed: "Turks are aliens and non-Iranians. For hundreds of years (during Turkic rule in Iran), Iran had no history. Non- Iranians like the Seljuks invaded and ruled Iran."74
Shaffer, B. (2023) Iran is more than persia: Ethnic politics in Iran. Berlin: De Gruyter.
Their dna is close to kurds and the only reason people there speak Turkic is because seljuks had large Turkic population set up there and made people there speak Turkic and turkified them even though people there were iranic plus qasim Solimani and irgc are hated by everyone anyways bro is beef cutlets now and people usually hate on him
Trying to say iran had no history is an old pan-turk argument
yeah they were turks so what still promoted iranian cultures we were under Turkic rule with only seljuks and kharazmians which also fell
The qajar passports are also in farsi which you can't read 😂😂 Maybe just search for a qajar era passport pic
And also there are many historical evidence that the turkic guys promoted iranic language and culture despite being ethnic turks and safavids also had Kurdish origins and Turkic origins as well hell even shah abbases mother was a mazani
being Iranian doesn't mean being Persian only, Khameni is not Persian but he speaks Persian and he is Iranian and he is leader of Iran, same we can say about Shah Ismail, Shah is a Persian word means King. And Iran always were a multi ethnic nation with Persian as national language but majority of population always were Persian exactly like today.
When Iran controlled India 😁😁😁
They weren't the top at any point in the 17 century ottomans the Mughuls were for like ten years
The Islamic dominant came to end because Age of Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution which was happening in 17 and 18 centuries didn’t happen in Middle East. Religious close mindedness in Islam prevented establishment of printings press in Iran and Ottoman Empire in 15 and 16 centuries. This lead to flourishing of science and industry in the west and not in middle east . Printing press was prohibited till mid 19 century. Golden Age Islam was finished by Mongols who mascured the population and Muslim scientists. The Mongolian destroyed the greatest library to humanity in 1300 because their culture at the time did not find any use for Baghdad and Persian Libraries. Genghis did to Persians what Hitler did to the Jews. The Modern Mongolia offends and ridicules the world by having Statue of Genghis.
