Here's those footnotes I promised at 00:58
00:37 Aq Qoyunlu means White Sheep Turkoman.
00:43 The last truly Persian dynasty to rule Iran was the Sasanians.
01:14 The daughter of Alexander is titled "some Georgian girl!" in the family tree because her real name is unknown.
01:22 That Safavi Order was founded by Ismail's ancestor, the Kurdish mystic Safi-ad-din Ardabili.
01:28 Please note that Pineapple Pizza wouldn't be invented until 1962!
01:38 Qizilbash (sometimes spelled Kizilbash) is a popular last name in many Middle Eastern and Central Asian Countries.
02:02 Quick correction, Haydar smokes a hookah in this clip, however those wouldn't be introduced to the region until a century later.
02:10 Haydar was rading the territories to train his troops. And his excuse for rading was that the territory was "infidel land", AKA, Christian lands, nobody bought it though!
02:16 The Shirvanshah where a vassal of the Aq Qoyunlu.
02:37 While Husayn Beg was his teacher, the one who was taking care of young Ismail was the Ruler of the Kar-Kiya (the dynasty that ruled the city of Gilan) named Soltan-Ali Mirza.
02:49 The song that's playing is Rude Buster by Toby Fox from the game Deltarune. Now, you might be asking, why is this playing in a Persian video? And to that I have to say, It's my video, I do what I want, shut up!
02:49 When Ismail came out hiding, was actually 12, but he did all the cool battle stuff at 14, so I only mention him being 14 in the video.
03:15 The battle between Ismail and Yasar was fought near the Azerbaijani town of Cabanı.
03:41 The Shirvanshah family would continue to govern Baku until the Reign of Ismail’s son Tahmasp 20 years later.
04:18 I don't know why Ismail need the Georgians to fight the Ottomans, and I have no idea how the Georgian Kingdoms's campaign went.
04:43 The general's name was Karachagay khan.
07:16 The song that playing is called Salām-e Shāh the old national anthem of Iran before the Islamic Republic.
07:47 Only after finishing this video did I find out that Alvand didn't die in battle, instead he was exiled after his defeat, probably to the Ottomans.
08:45 The Aq Qoyunlu warlord's name was Kiya Husayn II.
08:59 Ismail actually had 2 wives, Tajlu Khanum was his main and most loved wive, the other one was probably just a political marriage so didn't even bother mentioning her.
08:59 Ismail was about 17 when he married Tajlu, and Tajlu was about 19, so they where both pretty young.
08:59 Tajlu wasn't some helpless delicate princess, she was actually a strong sportswoman, being a capable fencer and wrestler.
09:04 Tahmasp was born on the 22nd of February, 1514.
09:37 I accidentally said Kurdistan twice, woops! Sorry to anyone from Khuzestan that might be watching!
10:46 The song that's playing is called Ey Iran, a Iranian patriotic song, this specific version is from 1944. There's an instrument version of this song in the video intro.
11:21 Mirza actually had a brother that escaped with him, but he didn't survive the journey to Tabriz
11:45 The army troubles Shaybani was having was due to military defeats he suffered against some Afghans (Hazaras to be specific), in which he lost most of his calvary.
11:53 Something I should have mentioned: when Ismail conquered Herat and it's surroundings, that included Mashhad and Sarakhs. Mashhad, is most notable as that is the second most populous city in Iran.
12:34 It was actually Shaybani's wife, Moghul Khanum, who convinced Shaybani to attack the retreating Ismail. After all of Shaybani's emirs told him to stay inside Merv, she yelled out, "And you are afraid of the Qizilbash! If you are afraid, I will take the troops myself and lead them. Now is the right moment, there will be no such moment again." After she said that, all of Shaybani's emirs quickly turned into yes-men and agreed to the attack.
13:20 Unlike in my depiction, Ismail didn't keep Shaybani's skull cup forever, he would eventually send it to Babur as a goodwill gesture as Babur aways had beef with Shaybani.
14:15 Najm-e Sani was Vicegerent to replace Najm Zargar, who had died a little while back.
14:27Najm-e Sani massaquered Qarshi because he thought it was the Uzbek's capital and wanted to kill the Uzbek state by striking at it's heart.
14:54 For all you smooth brains that haven't figured it out by now, Babur is the founder of the Mughal Empire of India.
16:18 The song that playing is a Ottoman military march called Osmaniye Marşı
16:27 lol
17:07 The Şahkulu rebellion was a Shia Qizilbash rebellion lead by a man named Şahkulu. In the rebellion, the Shias sacked the Ottoman treasury. The rebellion ended after the leader Şahkulu was killed in battle, and the revolt lost steam.
17:22 Selim overthrew Bayezid because Bayezid had chosen Selim's older brother Ahmet to be his heir. After Selim took the throne, he had Ahmet strangled to death...nice...
17:55 Selim's Shia massaquere was the largest of it's kind in the Ottoman Empire until the 19th century.
18:06 the song that's playing is an Ottoman military march called Ceddin Deden, but you probably already knew that since this song is so popular.
18:39When I say cut to pieces, I really do mean cut to pieces!!
20:46 After the battle Selim said this about Ismail "Always drunk to the point of losing his mind and totally neglectful of the affairs of the state". Ouch!
21:13Selim I was actually one of the best and most important Ottoman Sultans. Despite only ruling for 8 years, he doubled the Empire's territories, not just because of his conquest of the East Safavid territories, but also he was the Ottoman Sultan that conquered Egypt. After which, now possessing Mecca, Madina and Jerusalem, he proclaimed himself to be the Caliph.
21:37 So about Ismail’s alcoholism. You probably noticed through the video that his aways drinking. He was an alcoholic through most of this life, but after the Battle of Chaldiran, his alcoholism got really bad.
22:26 I have no idea what Ismail died of! I looked at over all my sources and none of them tell, just that he died.
23:25Sadegh Hedayat was an Iranian author who wrote many books, the most famous being The Blind Owl (1937), one of, if not the most influential works of literature in modern Iranian history. You can think of it as beings similar to the influence of The Great Gatsby in American literature. Unfortunately, most of his works have been heavily censored or banned by the modern Iranian dictatorship, with the only way for your average Iranian to experience his work being through second-hand copies.
23:41 I may or may not do a video about Nader Shah and the Naderian Wars. We'll see...
23:34This outro song is called Safavid Drip by Bub Beats he made especially for this video. Go check out his awesome channel ua-cam.com/channels/3pOav1RcpJhfy6fhbSEePw.html

Shah İsmail was undefeated warrior, no one could beat him one on one. He won 18 fights out of 19. Only one lose was against Ottoman empire, cuz they had guns, but even on that fight on Chaldran 1514, he fought with the strongest warrior of Ottoman empire Turali Bek Malkochoglu, and killed him. He also was an amazing poet. Rest in peace our Shah. We love You!
Shah Ismail could have possibly be as great as peoples as Cyrus the Great, Timur the Great and Alexander the Great because he won many battles and destroyed many Empire in is time like those 3 and he was outnumbered 3 to 1 most of the time and killed is rivals in the battle IN BATTLE WITH SWORD LIKE REAL WARRIOR and didn’t need cannons is rivals like Muhammad Shaybani Khan , Farrukh Yassar etc etc made Safavid Iran one of the most powerful empire in the world in only 12 to 13 years 15 or more battle was won by Shah Ismail of Persia more than 90 % of ruler and military commanders in history and he was outnumbered all the time 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 but still completely destroyed many states Timurid Empire , Aq Qoyunlu, Afrasiyab dynasty , Shaybanid Empire and others battle like Battle of Jabani (1500)Battle of Sharir (1501)Siege of Tabriz (1501)Battle of Sharur (1501)Battle of Hamadan (1503)Battle of Tabriz (1503)Battle of Nakhchivan Safavid Safavid conquest of Mazandaran (1504)Safavid conquest of Gorgan (1504)Safavid conquest of Yazd (1504)Battle of Najaf (1507)Battle of Karbala (1507)Battle of Van (1508)Battle of Erzurum (1508)Battle of Baghdad (1509)Battle of Merv (1510) and others but after the Battle of Chaldiran his aura of invincibility shattered he was never the same he could have become one of the best military commanders in history but he was never the same after is first and only lost he also made both the kingdoms of Kartli as well as Kakheti his vassals and by the way Shah Ismail won more battle than any Ottoman ruler in history
Shah Ismail's favorite wife was a Persian woman named Behruzeh Khanum, who was captured by the Ottomans in the Battle of Chaldiran. Her captivity caused the isolation and death of Shah Ismail, because Shah Ismail was in love with her.
Shah Ismail's marriage with Tajlu Khanum was for politics, Tajlu was Turkman from her father's side and a mix of Iranians and Caucasians from her mother's side. Her mother or grandmother was a Shirvanshah princess. Some sources say that she was her mother and some say that she was her grandmother.
As a Persian Bahraini, I love Shah Ismail

He is Turk, he spoke Turk, he wrote oghuz turkish poems .safavid's founded onto Turkoman Qızılbash, not persians, kurds etc. His state has nothing to do with kurds. he chose tebriz as capital which Turkomans lived as major at population
@@MrLlama-sz3br So Kurds are iranian?
Shah Ismael is the reunifier of Iran. What a legend!
He managed to finally get all of Iran and most of the E-stans under our control again in 1501.
Although Shah Ismail is seen as a part of Azerbaijani and Iranian culture today, there is a section in Anatolia that loves Shah Ismail as much as the Azerbaijani people and sees him as their ancestor, and this section recites Shah Ismail's poems in their prayers. .
@@Magua1907 After Ismail defeated the Uzbeks, his victory was portrayed in Safavid records as a victory over the mythological Turanians.[67]
Before his defeat at Chaldiran in 1514, Ismail not only identified himself as the reincarnation of Alid figures such as Ali and Husayn, but also as the personification of the divine light of investiture (farr) that had radiated in the ancient Iranian shahs Darius, Khosrow I Anushirvan (r. 531-579), Shapur I (r. 240-270), since the era of the Achaemenids and Sasanians.

Ismail was definitely one of the most fascinating figures of the early modern world, I knew he was based, but not the fact that he conquered his Empire at the mere age of 14! You did an excellent job narrating his deeds, and I was was cheering for him all the way through (except for his epik trolling moments, must have learned those from Shah Khosrow I) and actually expected him to beat Selim... ah, what a plot twist, what a shame. I feel really bad for Ismail. Great video overall, would you do more videos on Safavid history?
I plan to make a Nader Shah video later this year. I might talk more about the Safavids in the future, we'll see
@@saltyhistorian2261 Do video about King Shapur I the real nightmare of Roman Empire the blows that Shapur inflicted upon the Roman army were indeed catastrophic; up to one third of Rome’s professional army (including officers) numbering around 150,000 troops, had been simply eliminated in that time that CRAZY number for 1800 years ago and he captured one of Roman king ALIVE Valerian’s defeat and capture is among the most humiliating losses in military history so King Shapur victory are way more impressive than Hannibal one more thing according to historians say King Shapur could have conquered the whole of Asia had they not been overjoyed at their excessive spoils most likely, Shapur’s strategy was to simply consolidate his empire’s position rather than attempt a vast territorial expansion at Roman expense very similar to Nader Shah when he made the Ottoman look like joke so Shapur never wanted to conquered Roman territory he cloud have conquered big part of Asia according to historians
0:18 You said the opposite. Shah Ismail's ancestors migrated from Kurdistan to Ardabil, and there they spoke Turkish and somehow accepted the Turkish culture. Like other Azeris, over time, with the migration of the Oghuz Turks, they changed their language from Old Azeri to Turkic.
And an interesting point is that Shah Ismail calls himself Alexander the Macedonian in a poem (because of his Greek ancestry).
After Ismail defeated the Uzbeks, his victory was portrayed in Safavid records as a victory over the mythological Turanians.[67]

5:35 just a little mistake , shia don't have their own Quran, it's the same book , but the Interpretation of the Quran is different.
Also Ismail didn't proclaim himself to be the 12 imam cause the 12 imam name is Mohammed bin Al-Hassan not Ismail , but maybe some of qizilbash proclaimed him as mahdi.
Great video and keep the good work 👏
Thanks man! :) Yeah I didn't know about the Quran until after I finished the video, my bad!
@@saltyhistorian2261Ismail proclaimed to be a descendant of the prophet mohamed
@@zeldaaachen7200 In his letter to Selim he wrote :
Today I have come to the world as a Master. Know truly that I am Haydar's son. I am Fereydun, Khosrow, Jamshid, and Zahak. I am Zal's son (Rostam) and Alexander.
this is to increase his prestige not for real fact@@ramtin5152
One thing wrong, the twelfth imam's name is Muhammad ibn Abdullah,from lineage of Hassan as
I love Shah Ismail, a truly great Shah for Iranians at the time. He resurrected a unified Iran, not seen since the native Persian dynasties during the Iranian-Intermezzo period in the post Islamic era. This was a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
I mean he was a very interesting person and a great shah overall but one thing that makes him a bad shah is that he forced everyone to be shia. Many people were murdered for not being shia muslim and although the video makes it seem nice and all it was not that nice irans culture was changed drastically and he influenced our culture even till today.
@@soodabehkhorushi Sunni Iran was great while it lasted ngl. Their works on poetry, literature, sufism is unforgettable and praiseworthy. So ye Bringing back smth that can be considered the closest thing to the legacy of Ancient Persia and admiring Persianism was the only thing he did
Great use of classic Persian music and fantastic drawings. Thank you for showing a part of our culture and history!
Ngl bro when i first saw the thumbnail i thought it was gonna be a dude explaining history with a broken mic but to my surprise this Video is actually Very Good. This is some "I was looking for iron but i found gold" moment.
As a Turkish Qizilbash we still chant his poems in Azerbaijani Turkish in Cem ceremonies and my grandma still uses the name of 'Yavuz/Grim' Sultan Selim as an insult. Shah Ismail is the founder of Alevi subsect. And the keepers of our cultural and religious heritage, the 'Dede's (some sorta clergyman) have direct ancestry from Ardabili Turkoman cultists.
I would like to ask a question. Why do the shier hate Ismail for massacaring them in his empire when Ismail massacred Sunni's in his. This is a genuine question, I don't mean to mock you.
@@m.aryaanamiri2755 you meant İsmail i guess, i personally dont hate Sultan Selim im completely neutral as a history entushianist. But there is a difference between the actions of Ottomans and Safavids, Ottomans were much more violent in that time and the massacres have continued even centuries after the battle of Chalderan, Alevi population were forced to isolate and treated in a similar way like jewish ppl in Europe. This even continued in modern republic, you can search about the Marash massacre, Sivas and Çorum incidents. And i honestly dont think my grandpma knows sunnis once lived in Iran and got killed centuries ago, her dislike of Sultan Selim is nothing more than generational trauma.
@@ismettuptuk4037 oh yea sorry I meant hate Selim.And thank you for the reply,especially in a non bias sense.once again thanks from Pakistan.

@Salty Historian @Salty Historian bro I from iran shah ismail and his ancestors were also all shia Muslim.
But there is thing in theology of shia islam that you can hidden your religious identity which call "taqiyah" I hope spell will be correct.
When it's dangerous for you to show or express your real belif and religion.
And some people who claim that shah ismail safavid make Iran shia.
Even there are a lot of sources from sunni book that Iran become majority shia Muslim country from 13th century after mongol empire divided and the dynasty comes bigger than safavid dynasty knows ilkhatean dynasty .
"King uljatu" of ilkhatean dynasty become shia Muslim (it's long story why and how he convert but for short he make compitition between every sect of Islam and he convinced by Allama halıy who was shia scholar from Iraq and the reason behind this compitition was so long to explain ) and declared the official religion of country (iran) is Twelver shia islam.
But after attack of tamurid empire who kill and massacre persian people.
So people has afraid and do TAQIYAH hidden their religion (shia islam) and after safavid people again freely to show their religious beliefs and don't a afraid to do TAQIYAH.
In your video you said that he claim alid or twelve imam.
It interesting topic to discuss is that in shia theology and we shia belive that there are twelve imam and after that some follow the scholar and some follow person known as syed/per/murshad.
And qızılbash and all other shia follow him as religious leader after twelve imam,
As he successor of twelve imam not as twelve imam
It's like pop in Christianity who's not claim jeuse but every Christian/or/ follower of jeuse who should follow pop as religious leader.
Even our successor of twelve imam of now is imam khomani and after his death syed also khameni is our religious leader as successor of twelve imam but it's doesn't mean that we claim him as twelve imam.
And some people who claim that shah ismail safavid make Iran shia, it's half wrong and half right .
First of all safavid was not ruling Iran only,
Safavid also rule kürdistan which is still sunni were under safavid for 240 years
safavid also rule sistan and boluchastan of Iran and modern day pakistan which is still sunni even both side were under safavid for 240 years,
Safavid also rule Afghanistan which still sunni were under safavid for 240 years,
Safavid also rule Turkmenistan which still sunni which were under safavid for 240 years.
Safavid also rule some province and city of Uzbekistan such as samarqand and bukhara which is still sunni were under safavid for 240 years.
Safavid also rule persian gulf countries but still they are sunni which were under safavid rule for 240 years,
they claim Arabian gulf/ only gulf but 100 of historical proof that it persian gulf
Safavid also rule the north part of Iraq which is still sunni area which were under safavid for 240 years,
Safavid also rule armenia which is still Christianity country which were under safavid for 240 years,
Safavid also rule Georgia which is still Christianity country were under safavid for 240 years.
If safavid forcely convert shia then why all of this seven (7) countries under safavid are sunni even after safavid rule for 240?
Why they are not convert to shia if shah ismail was force to converting shia or die?
It mean that he didn't did sunni but he margate them
People Persia (iran) and azeribjan were 70% already shia but under TAQIYAH now after safavid 30% of sünni who were live in central forcely migrated to board area to for sure that there is not threat of rebail in centre country by sunni when fighting with neighbor othaman and Uzbek on border.
Second reason of force migration
He immragiate a lot of sunni from centre of country is to make human shield of sunni against sunni.
If Uzbek attack Iranian sunni (modern day known as afghan and tajik) was defensiing country and both sunni kill each other.
In result automatically shia population in country increase as capmare to sunni
And even if othaman attack sunni kürd were defensiing country in result sunni kill sunni and automatically shia population increase as capare in country as campare to sunni .
And after external are of safavid east afghan separate from Iran
in result central area was shia (modern day iran) And external was imagrated sünni (modern day Afghanistan).
iran become 90% shia country after this imagrated sunni from external area of country separated not at time of shah ismail.
On time of shah ismail 70% were but now 90% due to sunni area has separated after nadir shah die.
Even othaman do that too shia kill shia.
Let me give you example janseries were also shia Muslim and have sufi belif same as safavid belif.
And every time othaman attack safavid they use most shia Muslim (alvi) as possible as they can to decrease shia population in anatolia (modern day Türkiyə/turkey) .
Othaman use scholar for propaganda against shia Muslim.
Othaman tell in Friday pray to people shia are kafir (means disbelievers to islam) and aalso says that hundred thousand of sunni are in terrible condition under safavid.
Even othaman claim that two hundred ninteen thousand (219,000) sunni is kill by safavid but the reality is that the total population of country was approximately between 170-180 thousand due to different source to accurate but according to all of these sources min 170 thousand and mix 180 thousand .
Now how can shah ismail kill 219,000 sunni peopel of his country when all population of country is 170 to 180 thousand which is written by othaman sultan to get the support of religious scholar.
It's unlogical that shah ismail kill 219,000 from 180,000 if consider miximam population.
Even othaman historian write that shah ismail kill 20,000 sunni after siege of tabriz even if you research you will get that tabriz total thousand was 20 thousand population when he siege the tabriz.
Did he will 20,000 from 20,000?
So who running the city then the ghost?
If shah ismail really force people to convert then the tabriz left in hand of othaman many times why they don't reconvert them into sunni Islam.
I not gonna defense him but not label him for thing that he don't do .
I wish he forcely convert but he didn't.
If he did now 7 more countries shia Muslim majority country would be but he didn't not that much which is claim by Social media and othaman historian which unlogical to kill 219 from 180.
There are more than 300 books in perisan and Turkish on conflict between safavid and othaman in these all this are metioned in detail .
I know you don't not perisan and Turkish so write in summary for that may it may could help you in your research and help you for your more or nexts video .
Thanks for your efforts you do.
Keep going on and never stop your work if you are unmotivated too.

Safavid also rule the north part of Iraq which is still sunni area which were under safavid for 240 years,
Safavid also rule armenia which is still Christianity country which were under safavid for 240 years,
Safavid also rule Georgia which is still Christianity country were under safavid for 240 years.
If safavid forcely convert shia then why all of this seven (7) countries under safavid are sunni even after safavid rule for 240?
Why they are not convert to shia if shah ismail was force to converting shia or die?
It mean that he didn't did sunni but he margate them
People Persia (iran) and azeribjan were 70% already shia but under TAQIYAH now after safavid 30% of sünni who were live in central forcely migrated to board area to for sure that there is not threat of rebail in centre country by sunni when fighting with neighbor othaman and Uzbek on border.
Second reason of force migration
He immragiate a lot of sunni from centre of country is to make human shield of sunni against sunni.
If Uzbek attack Iranian sunni (modern day known as afghan and tajik) was defensiing country and both sunni kill each other.
In result automatically shia population in country increase as capmare to sunni
And even if othaman attack sunni kürd were defensiing country in result sunni kill sunni and automatically shia population increase as capare in country as campare to sunni .
And after external are of safavid east afghan separate from Iran
in result central area was shia (modern day iran) And external was imagrated sünni (modern day Afghanistan).
iran become 90% shia country after this imagrated sunni from external area of country separated not at time of shah ismail.
On time of shah ismail 70% were but now 90% due to sunni area has separated after nadir shah die.
Even othaman do that too shia kill shia.
Let me give you example janseries were also shia Muslim and have sufi belif same as safavid belif.
And every time othaman attack safavid they use most shia Muslim (alvi) as possible as they can to decrease shia population in anatolia (modern day Türkiyə/turkey) .
Othaman use scholar for propaganda against shia Muslim.
Othaman tell in Friday pray to people shia are kafir (means disbelievers to islam) and aalso says that hundred thousand of sunni are in terrible condition under safavid.
Even othaman claim that two hundred ninteen thousand (219,000) sunni is kill by safavid but the reality is that the total population of country was approximately between 170-180 thousand due to different source to accurate but according to all of these sources min 170 thousand and mix 180 thousand .
Now how can shah ismail kill 219,000 sunni peopel of his country when all population of country is 170 to 180 thousand which is written by othaman sultan to get the support of religious scholar.
It's unlogical that shah ismail kill 219,000 from 180,000 if consider miximam population.
Even othaman historian write that shah ismail kill 20,000 sunni after siege of tabriz even if you research you will get that tabriz total thousand was 20 thousand population when he siege the tabriz.
Did he will 20,000 from 20,000?
So who running the city then the ghost?
If shah ismail really force people to convert then the tabriz left in hand of othaman many times why they don't reconvert them into sunni Islam.
I not gonna defense him but not label him for thing that he don't do .
I wish he forcely convert but he didn't.
If he did now 7 more countries shia Muslim majority country would be but he didn't not that much which is claim by Social media and othaman historian which unlogical to kill 219 from 180.
There are more than 300 books in perisan and Turkish on conflict between safavid and othaman in these all this are metioned in detail .
I know you don't not perisan and Turkish so write in summary for that may it may could help you in your research and help you for your more or nexts video .
Thanks for your efforts you do.
Keep going on and never stop your work if you are unmotivated too.
Hello brother
I also researched the Safavid state and Shiism in Iran
According to what I understood
Shiism began in Iran in a very ancient era
But it spread little by little during the Buyid era, and nearly a quarter of Iran became Shiite
The Ilkhanids supported and strengthened the power of the Shiites
But when Shah Ismail ruled
97 Lebanese scientists were taken from Jabal Amel! He settled them in Iran and supported them with all his might
Even their names are mentioned
These Iranian scholars taught Shiism, and some of them were created by Iranian Shiite scholars
And the snowball continued to spin
Until the collapse of the Safavid state
To the point that the authority in Qom is compared to the authority in Najaf
With companionship for several other reasons
But in reality, it is difficult to spread religion by force
Especially in a country like Iran
@@szulfiqaralishah1472
When I compare myself to when I was 14 years old
My strongest achievement was that I reached the ninth grade
With Shah Ismail, whose name was written in gold with the greatest conquerors
This makes me upset :(
Real Azerbaijan is in iran not the republic of Azerbaijan and shah Ismail is Iranian azeri
❤ true my fellow turko persian
I see some people arguing if Ismail was Iranian or not.
first of all , what we know as Nation-State is a modern term.
Iran ( previously Eranshahr) has so many ethnic groups. Kurds , Turks , Lurs , Baloch, Arabs, Persians etc.
( btw that's why Reza Shah asked westerners to call us Iran not Persia!)
yes he was Turk( maybe with Kurdish roots) but in a larger scale he was an Iranian.
It's not strange that from time to time some ethnics has ruled Iran ( as you see later on with Zands)
Underatted comment ❤
@@amirfallah6580 He was kurds origions. He allied with turcoman merceneries. Because they knew how to war and kill.
Shah Ismail was an Azerbaijani Turkish
Safavid Shah Ismail proclaimed himself King of Azerbaijan in Tabriz and the Septuagint was an Azerbaijani Turk
Safavid Shah Ismail was born in Ardabil, and Ardabil is an Azerbaijani city with 40 million Azerbaijani Turks living there
European explorers confirmed that this country belonged to Azerbaijan, such as Adam Oleari and Jan Sharden van
Sheikh Heather, the father of Safavid Shah King Ishmael, is an Azerbaijani Turkish citizen and has always said that
Safavid Shah Ismail wrote Azerbaijani poems and was an Azerbaijani poet and has Azerbaijani poems such as Spring and Summer
Because Of his war with the Ottoman Empire, Safavid Shah Ishmael said to himself that he was making a mistake and that he made the two Turkish states an enemy of one another. 🦁🇦🇿🐺

You explain in a very clear way awesome stuff!
Shah Ismail was Azeri. Many Iranians say they are Iranian Turks, which is ridiculous. If we look at this, race does not matter, geography does, but race is important to say which country historical figures belong to.Shah Ismail was an Azeri and an Azerbaijani Turk.
British traveler and merchant Antony Jenkinson writes that during his meeting with Shah Tahmasib at the banquet table, Shah greeted him with the word "welcome" in Azerbaijani. Petra della Valle, an Italian traveler who traveled to the East in the first half of the 17th century, also wrote that when Shah Abbas received him, he asked if he knew the Turkish language, and after receiving a positive answer, he said, "You are welcome, you are welcome." they used expressions like "turn".
cap moment
If you can read Arabic alphabet go take a look at the Safavid map drawn by the Ottoman, Ibrahim Muteferrika, in which he wrote the name Iran as the country name of the Safavid empire
And according to the Ottoman book, Qamus al Alam, page 67, the Azerbaijan in Iran is the one and only Azerbaijan and your's is a fake and just stole the name and your country's real and only name is Aran XD
Meanwhile the Ottoman Ibrahim Muteferrika writes the name Iran as the name of the Safavid country on his Safavid empire map and writes Aran on north of Aras river XD
Meanwhile the country being officially called Iran and Persia 35 times in Turkomanchai treaty and qajar coins such as Ahmed Shah's Muzaffar al din Shah's and Nasir al din shah having Iran name on them XD
Oh wait you can't read them, they are written in Persian LMAO
Another name Ottomans used for them was Ajam
Which is a word Arabs used for Iranians

The palace language of the Safavids was Azerbaijani Turkish, and Shah İsmail was writing poems in Azerbaijan Turkish.

2)"Çün yetdi seba o yar katına Ol Türk-i vefa-güzar katına."

Great historians such as Tufan Gündüz Celal Şengör Petrushki and V.V.Bartvold write "The Safavid dynasty was definitely Turkish
On the other hand, .V.V.Bartvold writes: The Safavids were certainly not Persians, but descended from the dynasty of the Azerbaijani Turkish sheikhs!
Shah Ismail was a Turkist leader, he saw himself as a Turkestan pir, he wrote in his letter to the Chinese emperor: If you are narrow-minded and go to Turkistan, I will cut off your head with my own hands.I will send it to the king of Portugal!

After Ismail defeated the Uzbeks, his victory was portrayed in Safavid records as a victory over the mythological Turanians
His ancestry was mixed, from various ethnic groups such as Georgians, Greeks, Kurds and Turkomans
His father, Haydar, was the sheikh of the Safavid tariqa (Sufi order) and a direct descendant of its Kurdish founder, Safi-ad-din Ardabili (1252-1334)
Safavids were ethnically a mix of Kurds, Azeris and even Mazandaranis, with Persian culture
Search "official language of the Safavids" in ENGLISH and see what it says
Yes he has left approximately 1400 verses in Azeri language, which he chose to use for political reasons
But it's reported that he approximately 50 verses of his Persian poetry have also SURVIVED
His son, Tahmasp I, literally wrote a whole new Shahnameh in Persian
It's called Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasp
Ismail grew up bilingual, speaking both Persian and Azeri
In July 1501, Ismail was enthroned as Shah of Iran in Tabriz but after defeating an Aq Qoyunlu army in 1502, Ismail officially took the title of "Shah of Iran" and that's BEFORE having anuy kind of control over Iran
His campaign in taking control over Iran started in 1503 but he gave himself that title while he had control ONLY over Tabriz and some provinces north of Aras river
He also appointed a former Iranian vizier named Amir Zakariya, as his vizier
He appointed the Iranian Amir Najm al-Din Mas'ud Gilani as the new vakil
This was because Ismail had begun favoring the Iranians more than the Qizilbash, who, although they had played a crucial role in Ismail's campaigns, possessed too much power and were no longer considered trustworthy
The majority of scholars agree that his empire was an Iranian one
When he reached Lahijan in 1494, he gifted Mirza Ali Karkiya a copy of the medieval Persian epic Shahnameh (Book of Kings) with over 300 illustrations
Owing to his fondness of Iranian national legends, Ismail named three of his four sons after mythological shahs and heroes of the Shahnameh
His oldest son was named Tahmasp, after the last shah of the Pishdadian dynasty
His next son Sam after the champion of the Pishdadian shah Manuchehr and ancestor of the celebrated warrior hero Rostam
And his youngest son Bahram after the Sasanian shah Bahram V who ironically had inflicted heavy defeats on Turkic Kidarites, killed their king and captured their queen
Ismail's expertise in Persian poetic tales such as the Shahnameh, helped him to represent himself as the heir to the Iranian model of kingship
According to the modern historian Abbas Amanat, Ismail was motivated to visualize himself as a shah of the Shahnameh, possibly Kaykhosrow, the archetype of a great Iranian king, and the person who overcame the Turanian king Afrasiyab, the nemesis of Iran
Take a look at his depicted image in a 1590s engraving by Theodor de Bry and see what's he called

As a Shia Muslim, some information is half right and half wrong here. There is no such thing as Shia Quran or Sunni Quran. Quran is the same for both the sects.
Also, Safavid did had discriminatory policies against Sunni's. But didn't Ummayad's and Abbasid's did the same. Also, forcefully converting large population around today's Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan is just ridiculous and a Ottomon propaganda. If this was true, then why didn't Safavid forcefully converted Georgians, Armenians, Kurdish, Baloch etc. Today, they are still Sunni's. Iraq, Azerbaijan and Iran were secretly Shia for a long time because Shias practise Taqiyya. So now they all came out as openly Shias under Safavid rule.
History is sometimes very biased and false because it is written by victors.
Ismail was a great leader. Imagine if he lived long, he could have achieved so much.
Lmao No way you're denying his anti Sunni sentiment. Like it was really huge mainly to differentiate from others as well as create a distinct and original for Persia since he was a huge fan of Pre-Islamic Iran. Brahuis and Balochis of modern day pakistan becane independent for a reason. Kurds preffered the Ottomans for a reason. Also ever heard of the Hottaki dynasty of Persia founded and ruled by an Afghan for 50+ years? Sunni afghans always took their religious identity seriously and became independent for a reason
Wow! first video I've watched from this UA-cam channel but I already love these videos! Cool to learn about a region I don't really know the history of. Great Job!
Very well done. Do one about shah abbas the great and also nader shah afshar the Persia (Iranian) Napoleon please.
During his visit to the Safavid state in the 80s and 90s of the 17th century, the German traveler Engelbert Kempfer also encountered the fact that the Turkish language had a large sphere of influence in the country. He wrote in his memoirs:
"...The Turkish language spread from the palace to the homes of high-ranking and dignified persons, and as a result, everyone who wanted to gain the king's respect spoke this language. Now it has reached the point where it is considered a crime not to know the Turkish language for anyone whose head is worth more than his body. Turkish language is easier than all the eastern languages. The dignity and grandeur of the way Turkish is spoken has led to its being the only spoken language in the palace and the royal palace.
In Ottoman Turkey, Persian was the official language of the court and Sultan Selim has 2000 verses of Persian poetry, cry Panturk
Why is there such confusion about the origins of
this important dynasty, which reasserted Iranian
identity and established an independent Iranian
state after eight and a half centuries of rule by
foreign dynasties? RM Savory, Iran under the
Safavids (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1980 ) P.3
John L. Esposito, The Oxford History of Islam,
Oxford University Press US, 1999. pp 364: "To
support their legitimacy, the Safavid dynasty of Iran
(1501-1732) devoted a cultural policy to establish
their regime as the reconstruction of the historic
Iranian monarchy. To the end, they commissioned
elaborate copies of the Shahnameh, the Iranian
national epic, such as this one made for Tahmasp in the 1520s.”
Ira Marvin Lapidus, A history of Islamic Societies,
Cambridge University Press, 2002, 2nd edition. pg
445: To bolster the prestige of the state, the Safavid
dynasty sponsored an Iran-Islamic style of culture
concentrating on court poetry, painting, and
monumental architecture that symbolized not only
the Islamic credentials of the state but also the glory
of the ancient Persian traditions."
safavid spoke Persian
@@PansistaniThe official language of the Ottoman state was Ottoman Turkish.
@@Safavidkhan Only the language of the country was Ottoman Turkish, as the official language of the Safavids was Persian, Selim and other Ottoman kings spoke Persian.
Thanks for the great video! Would be aweosme if you made one about the Sassanids.
Wow, i rrally love your narration. I am a great fan of Persia and hearing the biography of Ismail really make me happy 🎉
Finally, a good reccomendation by UA-cam, i can't belive it took me so long to find this channel
Kurds are literally crying in the comments. He speaks Turkish as native language,he claims to have Turkic origin on his poets,he has an army completely composed of Turkic soldiers, he is the grandson of a Turkic khan,but he was not a Turk but a Kurd? Why because he has some Kurdish roots from his fathers lineage. You lost your mind. You even cannot be taken serious.
He never claimed to have Turkic origin. He always considered himself a Kurd.
In his time. Ethnicity was determined purely patrilineally, it doesn't matter if 99% of his ancestors were Azeri, as long as his father's father's father's father's father was Kurdish, he would be deemed a Kurd.
@@pers7574hahahahaha i have seen so many bs but brooo this is something else.
Damn, it's sad to see him fall into alcoholism tbh.........
Bro I from iran, Tehran.
shah ismail and his ancestors were also all shia Muslim.
But there is thing in theology of shia islam that you can hidden your religious identity which call "taqiyah" I hope spell will be correct.
When it's dangerous for you to show or express your real belif and religion.
And some people who claim that shah ismail safavid make Iran shia.
Even there are a lot of sources from sunni book that Iran become majority shia Muslim country from 13th century after mongol empire divided and the dynasty comes bigger than safavid dynasty knows ilkhatean dynasty .
"King uljatu" of ilkhatean dynasty become shia Muslim (it's long story why and how he convert but for short he make compitition between every sect of Islam and he convinced by Allama halıy who was shia scholar from Iraq and the reason behind this compitition was so long to explain ) and declared the official religion of country (iran) is Twelver shia islam.
But after attack of tamurid empire who kill and massacre persian people.
So people has afraid and do TAQIYAH hidden their religion (shia islam) and after safavid people again freely to show their religious beliefs and don't a afraid to do TAQIYAH.
In your video you said that he claim alid or twelve imam.
It interesting topic to discuss is that in shia theology and we shia belive that there are twelve imam and after that some follow the scholar and some follow person known as syed/per/murshad.
And qızılbash and all other shia follow him as religious leader after twelve imam,
As he successor of twelve imam not as twelve imam
It's like pop in Christianity who's not claim jeuse but every Christian/or/ follower of jeuse who should follow pop as religious leader.
Even our successor of twelve imam of now is imam khomani and after his death syed also khameni is our religious leader as successor of twelve imam but it's doesn't mean that we claim him as twelve imam.
And some people who claim that shah ismail safavid make Iran shia, it's half wrong and half right .
First of all safavid was not ruling Iran only,
Safavid also rule kürdistan which is still sunni were under safavid for 240 years
safavid also rule sistan and boluchastan of Iran and modern day pakistan which is still sunni even both side were under safavid for 240 years,
Safavid also rule Afghanistan which still sunni were under safavid for 240 years,
Safavid also rule Turkmenistan which still sunni which were under safavid for 240 years.
Safavid also rule some province and city of Uzbekistan such as samarqand and bukhara which is still sunni were under safavid for 240 years.
Safavid also rule persian gulf countries but still they are sunni which were under safavid rule for 240 years,
they claim Arabian gulf/ only gulf but 100 of historical proof that it persian gulf
Safavid also rule the north part of Iraq which is still sunni area which were under safavid for 240 years,
Safavid also rule armenia which is still Christianity country which were under safavid for 240 years,
Safavid also rule Georgia which is still Christianity country were under safavid for 240 years.
If safavid forcely convert shia then why all of this seven (7) countries under safavid are sunni even after safavid rule for 240?
Why they are not convert to shia if shah ismail was force to converting shia or die?
It mean that he didn't did sunni but he margate them
People Persia (iran) and azeribjan were 70% already shia but under TAQIYAH now after safavid 30% of sünni who were live in central forcely migrated to board area to for sure that there is not threat of rebail in centre country by sunni when fighting with neighbor othaman and Uzbek on border.
Second reason of force migration
He immragiate a lot of sunni from centre of country is to make human shield of sunni against sunni.
If Uzbek attack Iranian sunni (modern day known as afghan and tajik) was defensiing country and both sunni kill each other.
In result automatically shia population in country increase as capmare to sunni
And even if othaman attack sunni kürd were defensiing country in result sunni kill sunni and automatically shia population increase as capare in country as campare to sunni .
And after external are of safavid east afghan separate from Iran
in result central area was shia (modern day iran) And external was imagrated sünni (modern day Afghanistan).
iran become 90% shia country after this imagrated sunni from external area of country separated not at time of shah ismail.
On time of shah ismail 70% were but now 90% due to sunni area has separated after nadir shah die.
Even othaman do that too shia kill shia.
Let me give you example janseries were also shia Muslim and have sufi belif same as safavid belif.
And every time othaman attack safavid they use most shia Muslim (alvi) as possible as they can to decrease shia population in anatolia (modern day Türkiyə/turkey) .
Othaman use scholar for propaganda against shia Muslim.
Othaman tell in Friday pray to people shia are kafir (means disbelievers to islam) and aalso says that hundred thousand of sunni are in terrible condition under safavid.
Even othaman claim that two hundred ninteen thousand (219,000) sunni is kill by safavid but the reality is that the total population of country was approximately between 170-180 thousand due to different source to accurate but according to all of these sources min 170 thousand and mix 180 thousand .
Now how can shah ismail kill 219,000 sunni peopel of his country when all population of country is 170 to 180 thousand which is written by othaman sultan to get the support of religious scholar.
It's unlogical that shah ismail kill 219,000 from 180,000 if consider miximam population.
Even othaman historian write that shah ismail kill 20,000 sunni after siege of tabriz even if you research you will get that tabriz total thousand was 20 thousand population when he siege the tabriz.
Did he will 20,000 from 20,000?
So who running the city then the ghost?
If shah ismail really force people to convert then the tabriz left in hand of othaman many times why they don't reconvert them into sunni Islam.
I not gonna defense him but not label him for thing that he don't do .
I wish he forcely convert but he didn't.
If he did now 7 more countries shia Muslim majority country would be but he didn't not that much which is claim by Social media and othaman historian which unlogical to kill 219 from 180.

As a Pakistani Shia, I am intrigued by your answer. I read in internet, and everywhere it is written that Safavi's forcefully converted Sunni's to Shias. But I couldn't find a single source saying that what you just wrote. It was kinda shocking to read. Can you give me sources for your information that Sunni's were not forcefully converted.
Thank You!
Awesome video. **
The Republic of Azerbaijan was established after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Russians changed the name of the region of Aran (the current Republic of Azerbaijan) to Azerbaijan, just like the country of North Macedonia, which stole the name of Greece's Macedonia.
1. You are a very ignorant person. The state of Azerbaijan was created not after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but after the collapse of the Russian Empire.
2. The Safavid state was founded and ruled by Turkic nobles, who were mainly Azerbaijani Turks. The Shahs were Turks and the army was made up of Turks. In addition, all the main positions in the state were in the hands of the Turks.
3. You write this comment here because of your hatred for Turks. Because the Turks ruled over the persians for nearly 1000 years and took them under the yoke.
Now go and read history. You know nothing!

He was a persian king who called him self shah of Iran saffavid kings were persians but the people who fought for them were qezelbash and turkish people
Conqueror Sultan Mehmet also called himself "Kaizeri-rum", that is, the ruler of the Romanians. Now, according to your opinion, Fateh Sultan Memet is Greek? The reason they called themselves "Shah of Iran" was because they ruled all of Iran, and I reminded you that Iran is just a geographical name. The Shah, the army, and the people in the main positions in the Safavid state were Turks. For this reason, you cannot call this state "Persian state".
This interpretation is completely wrong. Alexander was originally from North Macedonia. Should the people of North Macedonia say that Alexander is 🇲🇰? No, he belongs to the history of Greece, North Macedonia is a newly formed country, this case happened exactly between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Iran, North Azerbaijan was a part of Iran, which unfortunately was handed over to Russia due to the weakness of the rulers. In Iran, the provinces of Azerbaijan and Ardabil There are many Azeri languages, they are a part of Iran. The Safavid dynasty also belongs to the city of Ardabil, and the most works of Sheikh Safi (the founder of the Safavids) are there.
@@axpowrt3456 This comment of yours is completely wrong. Personally, as someone who researches history, I do not see your comment as correct. It is true that Alexander the Great was born in Macedonia, but he was a Greek living in Macedonia, and the main population of Macedonia was Greeks in ancient times (but not now). But the Safavids were in the city of Ardabil in Azerbaijan. They spoke Azerbaijani Turkish, lived according to Turkish ancestry and called themselves Turks. Shah Ismail also called himself a Turk in his poems, and many historians confirm that the Safavids were Turks. The language of the Safavids was Turkish, the army was Turkish, and the main officials of the state were also Turkish. How come you can call a state ruled by Turks "Persian"? And you mentioned that Azerbaijan is a part of Iran. Let's look at a history: Azerbaijan was the center of the "Eldenizlar" state founded by Azerbaijani Turks in 1136, and they ruled all of Iran from this region. The center of the Karagoyunlu and Aggoyunlu Turkic states, which were established later, was Azerbaijan, and they ruled the whole of Iran from here. The center of the Safavid state was Azerbaijan, and they ruled all of Iran from here. Now tell me why these states should be "Persian" when their leaders are Turks and their armies are Turks?

As an Azerbaijani, I liked the way you emphasize the point that Ismael was ethnically Turkic but culturally Persian.Because most of the Turks do not realize that he was closer to Persian culture although he was Turkic.

About your question in the beginning regarding Ismail's nationality, ethnic background wise he is a mix of three main groups. His maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother were Turkic people of the Aq Qoyunlu dynasty. His maternal grandmother was of Christian descent as she had both Georgian and Pontic Greek ancestors. His paternal grandfather on the other hand was of Kurdish descent, and was a leader of the Safavids when they were still a religious order and not a proper state. Determining Ismail's culture though is a bit more tricky as culture isn't something that's exactly quantifiable. The two main influences on his culture were Persian and Turkic, and he incorporated both elements into the state he built. On one hand he very frequently used Persian imagery and concepts, with him even going on to give most of his sons names from the medieval Persian epic Shahnama. On the other hand he wrote the vast majority of his poetry in Turkic, with around 1400 verses in Azerbaijani and only around 50 in Persian, although I will add that his Persian poetry wasn't preserved as well as his Azerbaijani poetry so there might have been more Persian ones that have been lost. In correspondence with foreign rulers he also preferred Turkic over Persian, which resulted in an ironic situation where Selim, the Sultan of the Ottoman Turks, was writing to Ismail in Persian while Ismail, the Shah of Iran, was responding to him in Turkic. This cultural synthesis isn't something limited to the Safavids actually and is called the Turco-Persian tradition in historiography. Overall I would say between his various ethnic and cultural elements the Turkic component is the foremost one however simply calling him a Turk with no further clarification would be a massive oversimplification that ignores his multi-ethnic and multi-cultural background.
Beautifully said

Sheikh Safieddin Safavat, the grandfather of Shah Ismail, is mentioned in his book as "Piri Turk".
Ther is a mistake : Kudestan or Qurjestan They are the Kurmanji of the Caspian Sea and Khorasan, and Iraq has nothing to do with them, but they occupied the lands of the Assyrian Christians and Armenians when the Ottomans brought them.
This empire was one of the great Iranian dynasties of Iran’s late middle age period. The Safavids were originally a dynasty of Iranic Kurdish origins from Sheik Haydar’s line, though very Persianized and used Persian culture and language as the dominant cultural discourse. The Safavids were the first people in the region to recreate the modern country of Iran with defined borders.
They mixed with Turkified Iranian Azarbaijanis and Pontic Greeks. The dynasty was not Turcoman at all because it was not ruled by a Turkic ruling family. That’s why this dynasty is referred to as a Persian empire as opposed to a Persianate empire of Turkic ruling class. I am very happy that your video highlighted these points. Thank you.

Italian traveler Giovanni Francesco Gemelli Carreri, who visited the Safavid state in 1694, noted in his travelogue that 3 languages are mainly used in this country: Persian, Turkish and Arabic. The traveler notes that the Persian language is not rich in terms of vocabulary. Arabic is the language of scientists and science. The courtiers of the Safavids speak Turkish.
The fact that everyone spoke Turkish in the Safavid court, especially the widespread use of this language in the army, is not unfounded what European travelers wrote. The Safavid dynasty was Turkish in origin. They did not forget their mother tongue, even after they came to power, they kept it alive by communicating in this language and maintained the dominant position of this language in their circles.

What? Did you actually research his lineage? He only had Kurdish ancestory from his paternal grandfather's line while his paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather were Aq Qoyunlu Turks and his maternal grandmother had a Christian ethnic background. Even worse for the claim of him being Kurdish, his paternal grandfather's family had been Turkified during the Aq Qoyunlu period as a lot of Turcomans had flocked into their religious order. Additionally the reign of Ismail actually saw oppression of Kurdish people, as they are and historically have been a majority Sunni group.

Hakkı Uzunçarşılı; He writes, "According to the silsilenames they published as instruments for the politics of this family, who were pure Turks, they showed themselves from the Sâdât-1 Hüseyniyye."[18] Similar information on this subject, based on the data in Safiyüddin Erdebili, is stated in many sources that Safiyüddin Erdebili was called "the pir of the Turk", that the sheikh lived in a "Turkish village", and that he served his Turkish disciples better and offered them white bread and honey. It is seen that many of Safi's contemporaries, who were originally Persian, addressed him as "O Turkish Piri" in 1272.[19] [20]
The origin of the Safavid Dynasty comes from the Safavid sect founded in Ardebil by Safiyuddin Ishak, who was Shah Ismail's sixth-degree grandfather[21] at the end of the 13th century.[22] Safiyüddin, who became a disciple of the great Alevi Turkmen teacher Sheikh Zahid-i Gilani in Gilan, became the head of the Zahidiyye order by marrying the daughter of the sheikh, and after Zahid's death, the order was known as Safaviyye.[23] During the presidency of Sheikh Cüneyt, the Safavids, who were under the protection of the Akkoyunlus, began to convert a large number of Azeris and Anatolian Turks to Shiism. [24] Because these Shiite [Alevi-Bektashi] Turkmens generally wore red turbans on their heads, they took the historical name Kızılbaş.[24]
both iranian? azeris are Turkic bra wtf go read some stuff
Persians (*فارسی* Farsi) are Indo-Irani, making them Indo-Aryan, making them Indo-European, speak Farsi, Indo-European Language, historically Sunni with a vocal Shia minority (Mostly Zaydis but also Jaafarites / Twelvers), before Islam they were Zoroastrian
The Azeris (*آذریلر* Azeriler) are a Turkic people, making them Altaic, speak Altaic history, were also historically Sunni Muslim but still had a significant minority of Twelver Shia Muslimeen, before Islam, they were Christians, before Christianity they were Tengrist Pagans
Both also have different clothing, cuisine, etc
Azerbaijanis were never christians. Maybe you refer to Caucasian Albania, but we have nothing to do with them. It was way before Oghuz-Seljuks came to Azerbaijan. @@BronzetheGolden
@@attackattack976 My mistake! I though Azeris were Christian at one point in history
Some comments saying that Ismail was Farsl or Kurdish. Guys seriously you must be kidding. What do Akkoyunlu , Kizilbas mean in any Persian language. Those are Turkish words.
Also see his poems: an example:
"Yetdükçe tükenir Arab'in kuy u meskeni
Bagdat içre her nice Türkman kopar
Sirvan halayiki kamu Tebriz'e dasina
Mülk-i Acem sorar ki, klyamet kaçan kopar?"
Isnt this Turkish as well? Also he sounds pretty proud of being Turkoman ( Turk) in this poem. I dont know any Farsi or Kurdish but i can read and understand this.
So whats the debate? He is Turkoman for sure just like the Ottomans. Dynasty marriages don’t change the ethnic origins of those families. Yes he has Roman blood as well. But Genetics is a different thing than ethnicity.
He was 50% Azeri, 25% Kurdish and the rest was Georgian, Greek and Armenian
Excellent !!! Amei. !!!!
Obrigado pai!!

@PersistheGreat
"Safavids continued the traditions of the previous Turkic states within the territory of Azerbaijan and relied, first of all, on the military and political might of the Azerbaijani Turkic population."
(Bruce Grant · 2007 Caucasus Paradigms Anthropologies, Histories and the Making of a World Area)
In the early 16th century, the Azeri dynasty of the Safavids ( r. 1501-1736 ) took power in Tabriz and developed a culture that influenced much of the region.

Shah Ismail is a great son and king of Azerbaijan Safavid empire.Who rulled to all Azerbaijan and Iran despite his young age.
Shah of iran🇮🇷🇮🇷 not Azerbaijan 🇦🇿🇦🇿
He was the Shah of both Iran and Azerbaijan
@@saltyhistorian2261 yes but keep the basic cuz iran had shah that's where not persian such as kurds and others
Zand danesty for example
@@saltyhistorian2261 In my opinion and many other Iranians and even many Azeris in Iran, in terms of nationality he was like Roman emperors or generals who weren't ethnically Roman
Safavids, Afsharids and Qajars were all like that
I mean his ancestry was a mix of Georgian, Greek, Kurd and Turkoman, he spoke both Persian and Azeri, wrote poems in both languages, had Persian culture, loved Shahnameh, called himself Khosrow, Fereydun, Jamshid and Zahak as well as the son of Zal (Rostam) in his letter to Selim (which are characters from Shahnameh), was enthroned as the Shah of Iran in July 1501, officially took the title the Shah of Iran in 1502 after defeating an Aq Qoyunlu army, named his empire Iran and made Iran officially a country again as it can be seen on the Safavid map of the Ottoman Ibrahim Muteferrika who used the name Iran for the Safavid country on his map, made Persian the official language of the country, gave political positions to Persian governors, not only identified himself as the reincarnation of Alid figures such as Ali and Husayn but also as the personification of the divine light of investiture (farr) that had radiated in the ancient Iranian shahs Darius, Khosrow I Anushirvan, Shapur I, since the era of the Achaemenids and Sasanians (This was a typical Safavid combination of Islamic and pre-Islamic Iranian motifs), out of 4 he named 3 of his sons after the Shahnameh characters (Tahmasp, Sam, Bahram) and his victory was portrayed in Safavid records as a victory over the mythological Turanians when he defeated Uzbeks
Don't know about you guys but he was Iranian enough if you ask me
@Mohammad If you can read Arabic alphabet go take a look at the Safavid map drawn by the Ottoman, Ibrahim Muteferrika, in which he wrote the name Iran as the country name of the Safavid empire
There are books such as : Safavid Iran the rebirth of a Persian empire by Andrew J Newman, Patterns of wisdom in Safavid Iran by Janis Esots, German sources on Safavid Persia translated and annotated by Willem Floor, Nader Shah the sword of Persia and Empire of the mind A history of Iran by Michael Axworthy, Shah Abbas the ruthless king who became an Iranian legend
Ottomans called Safavids Ajam which is a word that Arabs used for Iranians
Nader Shah, who was a Turkoman from Iran's Khorasan, called himself Nader of Iran, Khosrow the world conqueror
سکه بر زر کرد نام سلطنت را در جهان
نادر ایران زمین خسرو گیتی ستان
It's on his gold coin made in Isfahan
Plus he mentioned the name Iran 6 times in that letter of his in which he calls himself Turkoman 4 times
Aside from Qajar coins and treaties which clearly have the name of Iran on them, as the name of the country, there are also Qajar letters
Like Agha Mohammad Shah's/Khan's letter to Heraclius II of Georgia
At Ganja, Mohammad Khan sent Heraclius II his last ultimatum, which he received in September 1795:
(Your Highness knows that for the past 100 generations you have been subject to Iran; now we deign to say with amazement that you have attached yourself to the Russians, who have no other business than to trade with Iran... Last year you forced me to destroy a number of Georgians, although we had no desire at all for our subjects to perish by our own hand...It is now our great will that you, an intelligent man, abandon such things... and break relations with the Russians. If you do not carry out this order, then we shall shortly carry out a campaign against Georgia, we will shed both Georgian and Russian blood and out of it will create rivers as big as the Kura)

Iranian by Nationalty
This list of qualities reads like a catalogue of all that he found wanting in the Persians he met.29 His view was that Persia had no real nobility; by that he ruled out the Turkman military élite which had monopolized all the pro- vincial governments and most of the important offices since Safavid rule began at the beginning of the sixteenth century. He was contemptuous of their aristocratic pretensions; their coarse, ignorant behaviour confirmed their origins as mere soldiers of fortune and Turkish at that. Persians-real Persians who lived under that intolerable subjection, and could trace their descent back beyond the Turkman supremacy-he saw in a different light.30 This was not simply a reflection of della Valle's snobbish concern with pedigree; there was still a marked distinction between these different elements in Safavid society.
