[@NeonAarth]

What about other dynasties?

[@paxcaucasus]

to your point at 2:38... Well Ismail was the grandson of the Turkic Akkoyunlu leader Uzun Hasan from his maternal side and he was also decendent of the greek Komnenos Dynasty, because Uzun Hasan's wife was Greek Trebizond Princess. As of his paternal side his grandmother was sister of Uzun Hasan also Ak Koyunlu Turkoman, and his father claimed to be decendant of Prophet Mohamed, confirming his Arabic roots... I wouldn't have been so picky, but since your channel shows family tree, you could have shown those extra branches that I mentioned and you should definetly NOT claim that Ismail was of Perso-Iranic stock, as there was nothing persian about his ancestry, beside taking persian title Shah.

Thank you for the nice video. The information is pretty accurate, however I would like o add a few small details.. The Safavid Empire was not overthrown by Nadershah. It was effectively destroyed by Houtaki rebellion and following the siege o Isfahan. It was restored by Nadershah(Then Nader Qoli as he was not shah yet, who was a military genius from the Afshar tribe). Due to his increasing popularity other Iranian generals elected him as the emperor. During his conquest of Delhi and northern India, a rumor started to spread in Iran that he was assassinated, so his son killed the Safavid princes and declared him self as Shah. Nader returned and his son stepped down. Anyway, the Safavids continue to last for few decades and were completely abolished later by the Zand khan, Karim khan(Zand dynasty is very popular in Iran nowadays). There is a theory that says, Qajars were actually safavid princes. Th story is that the last real safavid emperor, Shah Sultan Hussain, sent his pregnant wife to Agha Mohammad khans grandfather. She bore a son, but then the safavid empire was alread collapsed by the Houtakis. So, the Qajar khan, named him as his own son. The theory explains why the Qajars made several attempts to take over the country before Agha Mohammad Khan.

[@izzy1773]

Qajars were not Safavid princes. But I can understand where might have picked that up.

[@farshidmon3777]

In fact, I am looking at the family tree at this very moment. There are certain characteristics that have been passed down that must have come from Shah Abbas. LOL LOL LOL Anyway, there is something about the determination of Persians that is unparalleled in the world in terms of knowledge, intellect, and of course, mathematics. The policies and tolerance for all peoples in the empire of Cyrus the Great laid the foundation of the U.S. Constitution. This has been proven by the sheer number of letters between Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, writers of the U.S. Constitution, discussing the policies of Cyrus the Great and that which they would incorporate into the U.S. Constitution. Both Jefferson and Madison would become Presidents of the US. As you can see, the issue of tolerance is a major theme throughout that document. More importantly, the U.S. Constitution is specifically written to preserve the inalienable rights of the individual. Obviously, there is a great deal of the philosophy of that magnificent Persian Emporer. Well, today is Independence Day for the US. I celebrate all heritage within me... American, Persian, and let's not forget my mother... Greek. No matter what, today is a good day to be alive. Today, there will be peace between the US and Iran. Just for today.

[@yourmajesty1361]

As an Iranian I'd like to say that Monarchism is VERY popular in Iran. In fact Iran is the county with the most people in favor of returning to the monarchy. Everyone in Iran nowadays agrees that the Islamic Revoluion was a great MISTAKE and that the King was right all along. Also the most popular Iranian opposition leader is the exiled crown Prince Rezâ Pahlavi. It's true that there are also these so called 'reformers' who think copying the west's democracy will solve all their problems but even they agree that Iran reached its peak in terms of cultural, economical, political and social progress and dominance under the late Shah of Iran. To all the Turkish Nationalists flooding the comment section with 'Turkish dynasties not Persian': If you read history you would know that Persian is not only an ethnicity but was also a NATIONALITY. Them being Turkic doesn't change the fact that they were Persian. The same way the Qing Dynasty in China was Chinese even though they were ethnic Manchus not native Han Chinese. Besides only the Safavid and Qajar Dynasty were of Turkic origin. Zand and Pahlavi were of native Iranic origin (Zand=Lurish; Pahlavi=Mazanderani).

There is an anonymous safevi history book written in Persian in 1675-76 AD: / Târih-i Alemara-yı Şah İsma'il / In this work, Eminüddin Cebrail, the father of Sheikh Safi, the ancestor of Shah Ismail and the founder of the Safavid order, is referred to as the Turkish dervish. Some of the Safavid sources have dropped the Turkish youth record for Sheikh Safi, the ancestor of Shah Ismai. In his work titled Füthât-ı Şahî, heratlı İbrahim Emini, who is the historian of the Palace of Shah İsmail, is referred to as a Turkish piri and a Turkish youth from Sheikh Sâfî.

"Should we be saying 'German' or 'Deutsch'"? Is it "Hungarian" or "Magyar"? Are we speaking English, or some other language? "Persian" and "Persia" are the glorious and time-honored English (and other languages') term for "Iranian" and "Iran".

2:20 Actually the name Saffavid comes from Sufism and Tassavof. Sufism/Darvish-ism is actually Iranian spiritualism rooted in Zarathustra and Mani's teachings and Mithraism philosophy.

[@InquisitorThomas]

From what I understand you should be saying Iranian, Persian only really refers to a particular ethnic group within Iran, and that groups Hellenized name became the exonym for the country as a whole, the country has internally been calling itself Iran for centuries, hence why the rulers asked for the country to be referred to as Iran at some point around the 19/20th century.

The Italian traveler Pietro della Valle, who visited the Safavid Empire during the reign of Shah Abbas I, wrote that the only information in the state was the military elite, who monopolized all the posts of provincial governors and most important positions since the Safavid rule in the early 16th century. He also described that the Persians lived under the intolerable enslavement of the Turkomans.

Safavids were not the natives of Iran. In fact, Shah Ismail’s grandfather was one of the rulers of the Aqqoyunlu state, which is of Turkic origin, as its name suggests. So, the Zand dynasty was the first native Iranian to rule Iran after a series of invasions by Turkic and Arabic powers.

[@bu9657]

Fiery Phoenix He was not Turkish, because that word refers to the Anatolian Turks. Though, he had undeniable Turkic roots through family ties. Shah Ismael even wrote poems in Azerbaijani Turkish. We can’t know what he identified as, but his Turkic roots are apparent. It is better to let this debate set aside and let every Kurd, Turk, and Persian consider him as a Kurd, Turk, or Persian, respectively.

1. Shah Abbas' famous palace historian Iskender Bey Muneshi (1560-1634) notes that Sheikh Safi is called a Turkish youth in his work. In this work, it is stated that during the trip to Shiraz, Persian sheikhs called Sheikh Safi as a Turkish youth. Emir Abdullah addresses Sheikh Sâfî as follows: -O Turkish youth! Thanks to your diligence, diligence and high deeds, your grace has reached our eyes until now. According to the same work, Persian sheikhs are not the only people who call Sheikh Sâfî a Turkish youth. Sheikh Zahid Geylani also mentions Sheikh Safi as a Turkish youth. 1666-1694 `` There is a work called / Silsiletü'n-Neseb-i Safevîyye / written on the lineage of the Safavids. Its author is Hüseyin Zahidî, son of Pizade Şeyh Abdal, descendant of Sheikh Zahid, who is the leader of Sheikh Safi. In both parts of this valuable work, Şeyh Sâfî was known as the Turkish piri. It is understood from the sources that the native language of Sheikh Sâfî in the black magazine, which is considered one of the main books of the Safeviyye order, is Turkish. It is clearly stated in the Kara Mecmua, which is considered as one of the main books of the Safeviyye order, that the native language of Sheikh Sâfî is Turkish and that his followers speak in this language. The famous safvetü's-Safa, on the other hand, introduces himself as the Turkish son of Sheikh Sâfî, Turk. “Pire Ahmed perniki Germrûdi told from Mevlana İsma'il (rh.a); he said: I was in the presence of Mawlana Izzeddin Merağı (rh.a.) and the sheikh (pbuh). He was busy with nice words. That twitter said, 'O community of caliphs! Pray to Hace Sadrettin that the throne of Sheikh Zahid and me, Turkoglu Turk, has won the throne for himself with his own power. '' The same event is described in the Turkish translation of Safvetü's-Sâfâ in Sheikh Sâfî tezkiresin: “Pire Ahmed of Bernik narrated; Who should be from Mawlana Ismail? He said: Marağalu Mevlana Izzeddin was the servant of Hazret-i Sheikh (k.s.) and His Holiness Sheikh (k.s.) was busy in the language-pezir word. In the middle of the word he said: Caliphs! Please pray to Hace Sadrettin who was the son of a Turk who took the throne of Sheikh Zahid and my menu place. '' There is an anonymous safevi history book written in Persian in 1675-76 AD: / Târih-i Alemara-yı Shah İsma'il / In this work, Eminüddin Cebrail, the father of Sheikh Safi, the ancestor of Shah Ismail and the founder of the Safavid order, is referred to as the Turkish dervish.

The Afghans didn't manage to fully conquer Persia. Important cities like Kermânšâh, Tabriz, Amol, Tehrân, Qom, Kâšân and many other cities and regions in the west stayed under Safavid control. Therefore the Safavid Dynasty wasn't effectively overhtrewn until Nâder Šâh effectively put an end to their Dynasty.
