I have received many comments noting that Nadr Shah was an ethnic Turk, rather than Persian. The reason that I refer to him as Persia’s Napoleon is because that was the empire over which he ruled. It was a multi-ethnic empire. I in no way intended to belittle his heritage.
Sie müssen wissen das, er war nach dem Safavide Empire und Safavide waren keine Persische, sonst Türkische (Azerbaijan) Empire. Man kann nicht es persian empire nennen. Danke
Ding Shens hahaha! Is this what they tell you in the Alyev educational system??! Russia defeated Iran, and forcibly took the northern parts of Azerbaijan, and the Persians (I mean the Azeri Qajar dynasty) had no choice but to give the land. but today after 200 years, Alyev is trying to hide that Azerbaijan has a Persian (and by Persian I mean Iranic) culture.
Elsen Avshar-> If you mean by "they were not persians" as "they were not Iranians" you are wrong in three aspects! 1. Safavid founders were half kurdish (Beside azeri/azari itself is not a turkish name and infact it is a persian name), 2. Safavid culture were based on Sufism (the name safavi means those who are sufi)! and Sufism is rooted in pre-islamic Persia/Iran (Zoroaster, and Mani) gnosticism culture, 3. Iran from her blooming was multi-cultural multi-linguistic country. This is what it makes a country instead of ruling of an ethnic over others. This interesting idea i think was unique when it was proposed (philosophically by zoroaster and politically by Cyrus the great) and to the best of my knowledge no other culture/country proposed that idea before Iranians/persians. Maybe because of this idea that Iranians think that they inherited the fist country of the world and not just a collection of city-state based civilization (as is the case of many other ancient civilizations)

Afshars are a Turkish state. If you still say Persian, then the great Turkish religion of the Afşar tribe of the Oghuzes believed in the sky tengri. I have a question for you, did the Iranians believe in Göktengri?
Nader Shah's coins are clearly proof that He called him self an Iranian and Persian, and all of historians of the world believe that he was an Iranian Shahanshah (King of Kings).
He was indeed an Iranian Shah of Turkic origin! Most of the existence of greater Iran, it was ruled almost always by Turkic tribes and populated almost 50% by Turks

Kudos to Sumeria for cultivating wheat some 18,000 years ago. Possibly giving birth to 'civilization' and evolving humans from pure hunter/gatherers to that next level. The ancient world was indeed in that area of the globe and if it were not for the many compounding problems that Ramses III faced some 3200 years ago, it could still very well be the center of civilization. The first historically documented 'dark age' sadly began around that period of time (1177/1186'ish BCE - sea people/famine/earthquakes/drought/internal and external strife and likely also disease (though there is no proof of the latter). It was a globalized trading community among many nations before all but Egypt would lose the art of writing and many other skills and have to arise again during the 'neo' periods of those geographies.
After death his head was decapitated, his body rests on Mashhad and his head in Shiraz some 1000k away. In IRAN he is both loved and lothed, as he saved the country but could not cement that gain. May the Lord have mercy on his soul.
I enjoyed reading the comments on this discussion thread. It is nice to get the points of view from Iranian and other people from that area of the world. I was especially pleased by a comment that this guy was one person's hero and that multiple books about the great leader that were written in Arabic are being translated into English. I look forward to reading them and hope he translates them word for word exactly as the authors wrote them. Sometimes translaters change or add words to make a translated sentence sound better and make sense or be less confusing. I hope that does not happen too much because you can loose or miss the original authors point of view or point he is trying to make.
nlpjohn You both need to read some history, the sixth army was not defeated in Stalingrad until January of 1943. In 1941 the Soviet army was still in full retreat and disarray.
@nlpjohn seems you cannot even read your own comments, you state that the Soviets defeated the German army at Stalingrad in 1941, nice try to sound smart and totally do the opposite, maybe you should go back to basic english books and leave the history to people with the ability to read even their own words.
nlpjohn if you start with dates you end with dates. Since you only mention 1941 anyone reading your poorly written paragraph would rightfully assume you were still talking about 1941 since you don’t even bother to mention that the German army was defeated in 1943 at Stalingrad. Not knowing the exact date of the return of the remains is no excuse since you clearly state that the remains were interned one month before the defeat meaning a rough date around the end of December 1942 and beginning January 1943. So how you should have ended was “Stalin ordered the remains reinterred, bringing an end to the curse and leading a month later to the surrender of the German Sixth army at Stalingrad on January 31st 1943” see how neat and tidy that would have been.
@nlpjohn I also assumed you meant the remains were returned quickly and thus the "one month" was only a few months after the first date you mentioned. It is a logical inference. After all, you say "not wanting to take any chances", implying Stalin was worried about the curse and returned them. If he was truly worried why would he wait more than a year?
my mother's side of the family are afsharid and they migrated to anatolia after the fall of the dynasty and the civil war broke loose. my ancestor poyraz started his own clan and were forced to settle down from a nomadic life style by the ottomans to kayseria, and become sunni muslims.i have a relative who looks exactly like nader shah in there portraits.

This video brought back memories for me. I remember learning about him in history class while living in Iran Pre revolution. Thank you for the memories.
Turks, Persians, Kurds, Lurs, Balooch, Azeri, and others are ethnic groups referring to people that lived in different provinces of Iran (known to the West as Persia).
Iran is a nation state & Iranian refers to a nationality. You can be Chinese but acquire Iranian citizenship & therefore be Iranian. So the original poster was right, Turks, Persians, Kurds, Lurs, Balooch, Azeri & others, all long as they're living in Iran are all Iranian. Just like Turkmen that live in Russia can still be Russian in terms of nationality but not Russian in terms of race & ethnicity.
NON OF THESE NAMES WERE KNOWN DURING THESE TIMES , THESE WORDS ARE MODERN TIME INTERPRETATIONS , THE ONLY FACT IST WE ARE ALL WEST ASIAN MUSLIM PEOPLE AND NOT RELATED TO PRIMITIVE BACKARD MONGOL PEOPLE , NEITHER ARE WE JEWS .
@@Мустафаиракский-я8ш Iran is an administrative country and its well known fact since the founding of first confederations going back to old testament biblical times and not like some other nations which are strongly based around the idea of race and ethnicity. People being turks or russians or arabs matters not much to Iran.
@Ottoman Nationalist bro you are idiot , for goodness sake read some books , turks are diffrent , some turks considerd themselves as iranian persian-turkish mixed , some are ottomans only turkish ,
I'm from Nader Shah's city and my father found some of Nader'sr gold that was buried by his soldier at age of 20 and since then he lived in fortune all his life:)
Nader shah didn't come from a noble lineage. He often introduced himself as the "son of the sword" and that is probably the best description of him. Thank you history guy
4:15 they're not Afghans but Sikhs (The painting is from the Battle of Muktsar depicting Mai Bhago fighting the Mughals). But great video and very informative!
The thumbnail says it all. Dude, Nadir Shah wasn't even a Persian. He was Afshar from Khorasan. If u wanna make content about eastern history I suggest you make more research.
Thumbnail says it all? Says what? Also nobody care about he's ethnicity when he considered himself as shah of Iran. even in he's coin says: "the khosrow of Iranzamin". the nationalism is ruining everything. you guys need to back off for real.
@@Aceo_0 did I said anything about persia? Infact persia is not even exist. iranshahr or aryan or mamlekat Iran is the real name of the country. being iranian doesn't mean you have to be persian. Napeolon Bonaparte wasn't French but he was a french ruler, Joseph Stalin was georgian but he was a russian ruler, hitler was austrian but he was a german ruler. even the royal family of england are german origin.
Iranians are not usually defined by thier genetics, but by the culture and language they speak. He may be from a turkish family, but he was Iranian through and through and fought for the nation and idea of Iran.
Frank White I don’t care what language he spoke! He even celebrated Nowruz and I highly doubt he care much for Islam. You Turks always want to Turkify my nation of Iran. He was the savior of Iran and he was going to create a navy for Iran.
@Frank White it's funny that you falsley accused me that I'm a shi'a and wikipedia is not a reliable source. nadir shah was and always be known as an iranian king, not turkish king. HE WAS THE KING OF IRAN!!! go look at the flag he used.
@Frank White these damn mullahs that have been in my country are not iranians. i don't even like the safavid dynasty. and i already stated that nadir shah saved Iran from destruction. nadir shah, xerxes, shapour, cyrus, reza shah and darius are in my eyes the greatest kings that came out of Iran.
Napoleon was fighting forces of equal technology, for the most part. Not to discredit Nader Shah's abilities as a military strategician, but his technology dwarfed that of most of his adversaries.
@@badboyfrom1 Actually Wikipedia states after ottomans were defeated by Nader the Habsburgs tried to take advantage of the situation and attack ottomans but were defeated and lost control over Belgrade.
@@HoxtonLive that is called counter attack. Ottomans didn't lose any land to Nadershah but took lands from austrians even though those were the lands they lost about 50 years ago
So. As a descendant of Nader Shah(I am not lying since my last name is Naderi and the family of Naderi comes from Nader Shah. Don't believe me? Ask the tour guide of the Nader shah museum in Mashhad. ) However, I've been dying to find out about the early ancestor of mine since I was told many stories about him, but this summary helped me a lot to find out even more!
Your grandfather was conqueror of world .. Mongol of Delhi & ottoman of Istanbul .. Weep & cried in battels against him . Allah give blessings & Jannah to great conquer of world
Maybe, but not all Naderis are descendants of Nader Shah. Anyone can change their last name to Naderi. The only way to to know your ancestors is to look at the genealogy of your family, which most Iranians don't have except nobles.
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
Thank you for the nice video. Unfortunately Iranian history is pretty much unknown in the world. I am very thankful that you introduced a part of it. Shah Ismael of Safavid dynasty and Agha Muhammad khan Qajar were also brilliant military tacticians of their times. I would suggest to make videos about them too. Especially because of their impacts on Iran and tge regional history
I love your channel so much ,my friends just think I'm trying to play smart when watching your videos . But I actually love history one of the only things my brain can remember lol.thank you for you and your assistant always educating me
The History guy failed to mention his historic words when he met Mohammed Shah the Moghul Emperor after capturing him. Moghuls had this royal tradition to recite their family tree when meeting another monarch or Dignitary while introducing themselves. So the Moghul emperor goes I am Mohammad Shah son of...... Son of Ayrangzeb Alamgir son of Shahjehan son of..... And it goes on for a couple of minutes upto Zaheer ud Din Babar. Now Nadir Shah being the son of a shepherd not even knowing his grandpa's name goes " I am Nadir Shah ibn e shamshir ibn e shamshir ibn e shamshir (son of the SWORD son of the SWORD........) 😅 😅
A man of ruthless ambition and immense energy, he was certainly one of the great captains of military history. A master strategist, he was immensely successful in raising armies. He was also both cynical and cruel, and his reign was marked by violence and bloodshed. Nonetheless, he had taken Persia from near collapse to dominant power in the region.
I enjoyed this episode for the fact of understanding the ethnic Muslim religions that exist to this day battling each other, one that has more peaceful behavior to the West and the other murderous enemies to the West, as well as the differences of Western history and Persian history. Thank you for this diverse and in-depth episode, sir.

I'm sorry they know the truth that he was Iranian. This is because they use world-renowned sources, not books that have been distorted by Brandashifer and Ali Yuf's government.
@Ottoman Nationalist Who said not do take interests in East 😂😂🤣😂🤣. Nader shah teach lesson to ottoman , that in dream they used to get nightmare of Nader shah Alamgir
When a rumour broke out that Nader had been assassinated, some of the Indians attacked and killed Iranian troops; by midday 900 Iranian soldiers had been killed.[46] Nader, furious, reacted by ordering his soldiers to sack the city. During the course of one day (March 22) 20,000 to 30,000 Indians were killed by the Iranian troops and as many as 10,000 women and children were taken as slaves, forcing Mohammad Shah to beg Nader for mercy.
One Punjabi contemporary poet described the rule of Nader as a time “when all of India trembled with horror”.[84] The Kashmirian historian Lateef described him as follows: “Nader Shah, the horror of Asia, the pride and savior of his country, the restorer of her freedom and conqueror of India, who, having a simple origin, rose to such greatness that monarchs rarely have from birth”.[85] Joseph Stalin used to read about Nader Shah and admired him, calling him, along with Ivan the Terrible, a teacher. In Europe, Nader Shah was compared to Alexander the Great. Starting from a young age, Napoleon Bonaparte also used to read about and admire Nader Shah. Napoleon considered himself new Nader, and he himself was later called European Nader Shah.[86]
Ond Int the Safavid dynasty was Iranian Empire of Kurdish Iranic origin there ancestry Firuz-Shah Zarrin-Kolah , Sadr al-Dīn Mūsā and Safi-ad-din Ardabili they all are Shah Ismail ancestors who are all Kurdish origin there flag lion and sun flag which was Iranian flag with more 3000 years history was 100 percent Iranian Empire the name of the Safavid kings use to be finish by Persia like Abbas I of Persia also know Shah Abbas The Great who killed many Turkic people in Iran the dynasty if you don't know history don't open your mouth
Suren Kalantarian fuck the Turks the most important peoples of Ottoman were European origin like Ibrahim Pasha who won the Battle of Mohacs for that fool Suleiman or the famous Hayreddin Barbarossa was also European origin I think he was Albanian and Greek military, Grand Viziers even the sultans were European blood like Murad IV mother was Greek and is grand mother was Greek so he Greek not Turk the Turks small brain to make Empire that big
Ond Int did you open your mouth again the Safavid dynasty was not Turkified just because Shah Ismail did some poem in Azeri Shah Abbas The Great he's quoted saying "I'd rather kiss the soles of the lowliest Christian than the highest Turk" doesn't sound very Turkic the Ghaznavids Iranized Turkman so they were Iranic right you dumb fucker they were not even Azerbaijani in Shah Ismail army they were Turkmens tribes and Iranic tribes like Lurs , Kurdish and Talyshs the Viziers were all Persian origin and you know how much the Viziers are important in the Emprie 80,000 peoples got killed by Shah Ismail in Tabriz and the Turks in army got killed by Shah Abbas
Ond Int if the Safavid dynasty was not Iranian 1 historian was going to say they were not Iranian there is 1000 book about them read one Shah Ismail I of Persia of PERSIA bring back the name Iran again just like the time Sasanian Empire you know what that mean
Ond Int Hayreddin Barbarossa was not half Turkish he was full Greek or half Albanian half Greek Turgut Reis was full European origin he was also Greek and also Murad IV mother was Greek and is grand mother was also Greek one of the best ruler of the Ottoman LOL the Ottoman was big because of non Turkic people LOOOOL Turkic peoples didn't do shit
Oddly enough, there probably WERE treasures abandoned on the Kyber pass. Overloaded draft animals died of exhaustion on the trip. While a single overloaded donkeys worth of gold is probably not an inconsiderable amount of money there isn’t any indication that there’s some cave that’s hip deep in gold.
@Bully Maguire Iran is just a geographical definition, not an identity.The Khitan emperors called themselves the emperors of Turkestan, does this indicate that they were the Turkic empire, or was it the Mongol state ruling Turkistan?Of course it was only the Mongolian state that ruled Turkistan.for example, the British emperor called herself the ruler of India after conquering India.well they were indian state?WTF..The rulers of the Ottoman Turkish empire called themselves the kaiser of Rome.So was the Ottoman state a Roman state?Stop bullshit.
@Bully Maguire Even Afshar, the name of the Afsharid state, is the name of a Turkic ethnic group.in other words, she gave the Nader shah state the name Afshar, which means Turkic race.Although I see them as the Azerbaijani Turkish-Persian state, my discourse will change if you claim that they are only Iranian.
@Bully Maguire If you live in Iran you are Iranian, if you live in India you are Indian, if you live in Europe you are European.but this does not change the identity of the state you have established, it only changes the geography.for example the hungarian state is a european hungarian state.but the Magyar people are originally an asiatic people and not European.so this means that the magyar state is the Magyar state. european is just a geographical definition.You look like a troll who thinks that the IRANIC ethnic group and the states governing Iranian geography are the same.🤣🤣 During the period of Turkic, Mongolian, Arab, Armenian and Greek states that dominated Iran geography, they called Iran geography as Iran.because that was just a geographical definition.The Seluicid empire was a Greek state that ruled Iran, does that mean they are from Iran?You're just a history thief trying to steal someone else's history.Iran is the most occupied geography throughout history.stop telling us stories and stealing other people's states now. The reason why Iran is called Napoleon is that it dominates Iranian geography.The Göktürk emperors were called the Gray Wolves of Mongolia.Was it Mongolian state, mister trol?
@Bully Maguire Stalin was the ruler of a state named Russia.it is independent of origin.It is a Russian ethnic identity.The origin of the ruler is not important after the name of the state is Russia.just as it doesn't matter if the king of England is a German.because England is an ethnic identity name.If the name of the state is ethnic identity, the origin of the ruler is not considered. but the name of the Afshar state was AFSHAR, which means Turkic ethnic identity.Do you think it's the same thing?🤣🤣🤣
One point here, after the invasion of India by Nadir Shah it was the Maratha who would attack Northern india and conquer up to Punjab. It was the Marathas and not the EICo who actually filled the vaccuum you talk of. It was only after the Marathas were defeated in the battle of Panipat in 1761 and the weakening of the rule of the Peshwa that the East India Company actually started to take over. For a brief time, India was dominated by the Maratha Empire. Not directly ruled but under their sway nonetheless.
after his death one of his servants took his little son Tahmaseb Mirza to Austria where he became an officer and nobleman, that story is very fascinating either, Nader Shah was a great General not good at economy and his empire collapsed but won by KarimKhan Zand one of his chosen generals...
Thank you Sir for such a great information. I want to add it also Afshars are Azerbaijani turks, for example I am Afshar who live in Azerbaijan currently and our village is totally Afshars.
@@viveliran7509 I didn't claim that he isn't Iranian, Who lives in Iran are Iranian. It's so simple. Persians, Turks, Arabs, Lur all of them can be Iranian If they live in Iran. Iran is the name of geographical location
After fully uniting Persia, Nader Shah Afshar decided to expand the country's borders and create an empire. He marches first to Afghanistan, then to India. He captures Delhi, captures Bukhara and Kharazm. Emir Timur last visited India, reached as far as Delhi, but was unable to capture India as a whole. But Nadir Shah conquered India, where he was paid 700 million rupees a year. There was also a stone called "Kuhi-nur" ("mountain of light"), which is considered to be the largest diamond in the world. Thus, according to the agreement, the right tributary of the Indus River, ie the western flank, joins the entire territory of the Afshar state. This is the first time that an Azerbaijani Turkic ruler has done this, that is, no Persian king has had direct access to the ocean before Nader Shah. It should be noted that Nader's conversations were in Azerbaijani, in the Chagatai-Eastern Turkic dialect. In a letter to the Ottoman sultan Murda I, Nader Shah said: "Either let's completely muslimize Russia together, or guarantee me that you will not attack the eastern borders." The Ottoman sultan does not guarantee this.
He started by killing a coworker then his boss... sounds like a real class act to me. Little wonder he became paranoid and was ultimately assassinated. What comes around goes around.
That is not true. He killed his uncle (coworker they say) because he was warned by others that the man is going to have him killed because of his fame in the tribe and take his men. so he killed his uncle first thats all
Don't know. That makes him admirable to me. He wants power and glory, and he has the will to seize it. That's the mark of a great leader. Only cowards and weakling adhere to morality in the pursuit of domination. Nader Shah is an awe inspiring figure, similar to Tamerlane in a lot of ways.
Great video It seems like you have had problems with the ethnicity of Nader Shah and as you are not from the Republic of Azerbaijan it would be hard to know why people critize you on that. You are totally right that Nader Shah was emperor of Iran and saw himself as an Iranian and if you would have said anything else that would be wrong. He comes from a Persinized Turkic tribe named the Afsharid tribe in Safavid Iran, but he saw himself as an Iranian even if he was ethnically Turkic. It is like Catherine the Great being Prussian in Russia or Napoleon in France but we still call Russia under Catherine Russia and France under Napoleon France. Something else, this is the only video on Iranic history, will you make one about Abbas the Great?
@Baghatur Tarkhan I read the Persian parts. It seems like it explains the letter more than letting us read it ourself. Either way, it does call Nader Shah king of the Turkmen and many times king of Iran. So I do not see the problem here, he was a turkmen but an Iranian turkmen.
I have received many comments noting that Nadr Shah was an ethnic Turk, rather than Persian. The reason that I refer to him as Persia’s Napoleon is because that was the empire over which he ruled. It was a multi-ethnic empire. I in no way intended to belittle his heritage.

The first historically documented 'dark age' sadly began around that period of time (1177/1186'ish BCE - sea people/famine/earthquakes/drought/internal and external strife and likely also disease (though there is no proof of the latter). It was a globalized trading community among many nations before all but Egypt would lose the art of writing and many other skills and have to arise again during the 'neo' periods of those geographies.
Napoleon was France's Nadir shah🤔🤔🤔
I like that😉
genau Bruder.
It's True.
All you have to do is ask yourself who came first and who did more with less.
Just my opinion.
Given his character, I'd be insulted being compared to Nadir Shah. Right up there with Hitler, Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot.
I think nadir shah greater than napoleon because napoleon didnt unify france but nadir did unify persia and he the last great shah of persia

After death his head was decapitated, his body rests on Mashhad and his head in Shiraz some 1000k away.
In IRAN he is both loved and lothed, as he saved the country but could not cement that gain.

I enjoyed reading the comments on this discussion thread.
It is nice to get the points of view from Iranian and other people from that area of the world.
I was especially pleased by a comment that this guy was one person's hero and that multiple books about the great leader that were written in Arabic are being translated into English. I look forward to reading them and hope he translates them word for word exactly as the authors wrote them.
Sometimes translaters change or add words to make a translated sentence sound better and make sense or be less confusing. I hope that does not happen too much because you can loose or miss the original authors point of view or point he is trying to make.
90% of the population? Oy vey, we don't learn about that in history class.
The Mongols did not play games..
nlpjohn You both need to read some history, the sixth army was not defeated in Stalingrad until January of 1943. In 1941 the Soviet army was still in full retreat and disarray.
@nlpjohn seems you cannot even read your own comments, you state that the Soviets defeated the German army at Stalingrad in 1941, nice try to sound smart and totally do the opposite, maybe you should go back to basic english books and leave the history to people with the ability to read even their own words.
nlpjohn if you start with dates you end with dates. Since you only mention 1941 anyone reading your poorly written paragraph would rightfully assume you were still talking about 1941 since you don’t even bother to mention that the German army was defeated in 1943 at Stalingrad. Not knowing the exact date of the return of the remains is no excuse since you clearly state that the remains were interned one month before the defeat meaning a rough date around the end of December 1942 and beginning January 1943. So how you should have ended was “Stalin ordered the remains reinterred, bringing an end to the curse and leading a month later to the surrender of the German Sixth army at Stalingrad on January 31st 1943” see how neat and tidy that would have been.
@nlpjohn I also assumed you meant the remains were returned quickly and thus the "one month" was only a few months after the first date you mentioned. It is a logical inference. After all, you say "not wanting to take any chances", implying Stalin was worried about the curse and returned them. If he was truly worried why would he wait more than a year?
Nader Shah's origin story is so similar to that of Chinggis Khaan's it's actually quite scary.
Was gonna say the exact same thing.

Turks, Persians, Kurds, Lurs, Balooch, Azeri, and others are ethnic groups referring to people that lived in different provinces of Iran (known to the West as Persia).
Turks are Central Asians
The Others are Iranians .
Iran is a nation state & Iranian refers to a nationality. You can be Chinese but acquire Iranian citizenship & therefore be Iranian. So the original poster was right, Turks, Persians, Kurds, Lurs, Balooch, Azeri & others, all long as they're living in Iran are all Iranian. Just like Turkmen that live in Russia can still be Russian in terms of nationality but not Russian in terms of race & ethnicity.

Iranians are not usually defined by thier genetics, but by the culture and language they speak. He may be from a turkish family, but he was Iranian through and through and fought for the nation and idea of Iran.
exactly like north eastern persians even had mongols along with afghan population
Frank White it was an Iranian dynasty! I’m Iranian myself and he was king of Persia, not king of Turks!
Frank White I don’t care what language he spoke! He even celebrated Nowruz and I highly doubt he care much for Islam. You Turks always want to Turkify my nation of Iran. He was the savior of Iran and he was going to create a navy for Iran.
@Frank White it's funny that you falsley accused me that I'm a shi'a and wikipedia is not a reliable source. nadir shah was and always be known as an iranian king, not turkish king. HE WAS THE KING OF IRAN!!! go look at the flag he used.
@Frank White these damn mullahs that have been in my country are not iranians. i don't even like the safavid dynasty. and i already stated that nadir shah saved Iran from destruction. nadir shah, xerxes, shapour, cyrus, reza shah and darius are in my eyes the greatest kings that came out of Iran.
Napoleon was fighting forces of equal technology, for the most part. Not to discredit Nader Shah's abilities as a military strategician, but his technology dwarfed that of most of his adversaries.

A man of ruthless ambition and immense energy, he was certainly one of the great captains of military history. A master strategist, he was immensely successful in raising armies. He was also both cynical and cruel, and his reign was marked by violence and bloodshed. Nonetheless, he had taken Persia from near collapse to dominant power in the region.

In some ways he reminds me more of Alexander than of Napoleon.
When a rumour broke out that Nader had been assassinated, some of the Indians attacked and killed Iranian troops; by midday 900 Iranian soldiers had been killed.[46] Nader, furious, reacted by ordering his soldiers to sack the city. During the course of one day (March 22) 20,000 to 30,000 Indians were killed by the Iranian troops and as many as 10,000 women and children were taken as slaves, forcing Mohammad Shah to beg Nader for mercy.
One Punjabi contemporary poet described the rule of Nader as a time “when all of India trembled with horror”.[84] The Kashmirian historian Lateef described him as follows: “Nader Shah, the horror of Asia, the pride and savior of his country, the restorer of her freedom and conqueror of India, who, having a simple origin, rose to such greatness that monarchs rarely have from birth”.[85] Joseph Stalin used to read about Nader Shah and admired him, calling him, along with Ivan the Terrible, a teacher. In Europe, Nader Shah was compared to Alexander the Great. Starting from a young age, Napoleon Bonaparte also used to read about and admire Nader Shah. Napoleon considered himself new Nader, and he himself was later called European Nader Shah.[86]
So that's why nadir was killed by an indian?

Nader Shah(Safavid Persia)vs Köprülü Abdullah Pasha (Ottoman Empire)
Strength-
Savavid Persia15000
Ottoman Empire 80000
(Ottoman Empire)-40,000-50,000 killed & wounded
32 cannon captured
(Safavid Persia)-losses are negligible
Ond Int the Safavid dynasty was Iranian Empire of Kurdish Iranic origin there ancestry Firuz-Shah Zarrin-Kolah , Sadr al-Dīn Mūsā and Safi-ad-din Ardabili they all are Shah Ismail ancestors who are all Kurdish origin there flag lion and sun flag which was Iranian flag with more 3000 years history was 100 percent Iranian Empire the name of the Safavid kings use to be finish by Persia like Abbas I of Persia also know Shah Abbas The Great who killed many Turkic people in Iran the dynasty if you don't know history don't open your mouth
Suren Kalantarian fuck the Turks the most important peoples of Ottoman were European origin like Ibrahim Pasha who won the Battle of Mohacs for that fool Suleiman or the famous Hayreddin Barbarossa was also European origin I think he was Albanian and Greek military, Grand Viziers even the sultans were European blood like Murad IV mother was Greek and is grand mother was Greek so he Greek not Turk the Turks small brain to make Empire that big
Ond Int did you open your mouth again the Safavid dynasty was not Turkified just because Shah Ismail did some poem in Azeri Shah Abbas The Great he's quoted saying "I'd rather kiss the soles of the lowliest Christian than the highest Turk" doesn't sound very Turkic the Ghaznavids Iranized Turkman so they were Iranic right you dumb fucker they were not even Azerbaijani in Shah Ismail army they were Turkmens tribes and Iranic tribes like Lurs , Kurdish and Talyshs the Viziers were all Persian origin and you know how much the Viziers are important in the Emprie 80,000 peoples got killed by Shah Ismail in Tabriz and the Turks in army got killed by Shah Abbas
Ond Int if the Safavid dynasty was not Iranian 1 historian was going to say they were not Iranian there is 1000 book about them read one Shah Ismail I of Persia of PERSIA bring back the name Iran again just like the time Sasanian Empire you know what that mean
Ond Int Hayreddin Barbarossa was not half Turkish he was full Greek or half Albanian half Greek Turgut Reis was full European origin he was also Greek and also Murad IV mother was Greek and is grand mother was also Greek one of the best ruler of the Ottoman LOL the Ottoman was big because of non Turkic people LOOOOL Turkic peoples didn't do shit

If you live in Iran you are Iranian, if you live in India you are Indian, if you live in Europe you are European.but this does not change the identity of the state you have established, it only changes the geography.for example the hungarian state is a european hungarian state.but the Magyar people are originally an asiatic people and not European.so this means that the magyar state is the Magyar state. european is just a geographical definition.You look like a troll who thinks that the IRANIC ethnic group and the states governing Iranian geography are the same.🤣🤣
During the period of Turkic, Mongolian, Arab, Armenian and Greek states that dominated Iran geography, they called Iran geography as Iran.because that was just a geographical definition.The Seluicid empire was a Greek state that ruled Iran, does that mean they are from Iran?You're just a history thief trying to steal someone else's history.Iran is the most occupied geography throughout history.stop telling us stories and stealing other people's states now.

Stalin was the ruler of a state named Russia.it is independent of origin.It is a Russian ethnic identity.The origin of the ruler is not important after the name of the state is Russia.just as it doesn't matter if the king of England is a German.because England is an ethnic identity name.If the name of the state is ethnic identity, the origin of the ruler is not considered. but the name of the Afshar state was AFSHAR, which means Turkic ethnic identity.Do you think it's the same thing?🤣🤣🤣

One point here, after the invasion of India by Nadir Shah it was the Maratha who would attack Northern india and conquer up to Punjab. It was the Marathas and not the EICo who actually filled the vaccuum you talk of. It was only after the Marathas were defeated in the battle of Panipat in 1761 and the weakening of the rule of the Peshwa that the East India Company actually started to take over. For a brief time, India was dominated by the Maratha Empire. Not directly ruled but under their sway nonetheless.
after his death one of his servants took his little son Tahmaseb Mirza to Austria where he became an officer and nobleman, that story is very fascinating either, Nader Shah was a great General not good at economy and his empire collapsed but won by KarimKhan Zand one of his chosen generals...

After fully uniting Persia, Nader Shah Afshar decided to expand the country's borders and create an empire. He marches first to Afghanistan, then to India. He captures Delhi, captures Bukhara and Kharazm.
Emir Timur last visited India, reached as far as Delhi, but was unable to capture India as a whole. But Nadir Shah conquered India, where he was paid 700 million rupees a year. There was also a stone called "Kuhi-nur" ("mountain of light"), which is considered to be the largest diamond in the world.
Thus, according to the agreement, the right tributary of the Indus River, ie the western flank, joins the entire territory of the Afshar state. This is the first time that an Azerbaijani Turkic ruler has done this, that is, no Persian king has had direct access to the ocean before Nader Shah.
It should be noted that Nader's conversations were in Azerbaijani, in the Chagatai-Eastern Turkic dialect. In a letter to the Ottoman sultan Murda I, Nader Shah said: "Either let's completely muslimize Russia together, or guarantee me that you will not attack the eastern borders." The Ottoman sultan does not guarantee this.

That is not true.
He killed his uncle (coworker they say) because he was warned by others that the man is going to have him killed because of his fame in the tribe and take his men.
so he killed his uncle first thats all
Don't know. That makes him admirable to me. He wants power and glory, and he has the will to seize it. That's the mark of a great leader. Only cowards and weakling adhere to morality in the pursuit of domination. Nader Shah is an awe inspiring figure, similar to Tamerlane in a lot of ways.
Great video
It seems like you have had problems with the ethnicity of Nader Shah and as you are not from the Republic of Azerbaijan it would be hard to know why people critize you on that. You are totally right that Nader Shah was emperor of Iran and saw himself as an Iranian and if you would have said anything else that would be wrong. He comes from a Persinized Turkic tribe named the Afsharid tribe in Safavid Iran, but he saw himself as an Iranian even if he was ethnically Turkic. It is like Catherine the Great being Prussian in Russia or Napoleon in France but we still call Russia under Catherine Russia and France under Napoleon France.
Something else, this is the only video on Iranic history, will you make one about Abbas the Great?
@Baghatur Tarkhan Does there exist any sources on this letters existence?
@Baghatur Tarkhan I read the Persian parts. It seems like it explains the letter more than letting us read it ourself. Either way, it does call Nader Shah king of the Turkmen and many times king of Iran. So I do not see the problem here, he was a turkmen but an Iranian turkmen.
