About this listen

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Afsharid and Qajar Dynasty, then pay attention....

Most people have heard about the famous and mighty Persian Empire of old, be it the one ruled by the Achaemenid Dynasty which challenged the Greeks and ultimately fell to the might Alexander the Great or the later Persian Empire ruled by the Parthian and Sassanid Dynasties which fought against the Romans and the Byzantines before being conquered by the Arab tribes which brought the Islamic religion to the Iranian Plateau. However, after those glory days of the ancient era, the Persian story is relatively ignored, hidden in the dark corners of history. Because of this, most of us have no idea how the Persian Empire became the contemporary Iranian republic. This guide aims to fill this hole in the Persian story, taking a look at the modern history of Iran during which this crucial change occurred.

In The Afsharid and Qajar Dynasty: A Captivating Guide to Two Iranian Dynasties Who Ruled Persia from 1736 to 1925, you will discover topics such as:

  • Geography and Ancient History of Persia
  • Modern History of Persia and the Afsharid Dynasty
  • The Persian Empire under the Qajar Dynasty
  • Modern Persian Society
  • Culture of Modern Persia
  • And Much, Much More!
