- Khabib Nurmagomedov: one of the most famous Muslims in the world. Proud of his Dagestani heritage, he is also seen representing Russia. So how did Dagestan come under Russian rule? Well, the same way that Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia did! The subject matter that we’re going to cover in this video sheds light onto a period of Persian history that was a far cry from the prestigious heights of its past glory. But the same can be said about the Islamic world in general because this was a period that brought an aggressive and energised Europe hell bent on acquiring resources from every corner of the world against Muslim states that had fallen behind in the race for technological progress.

Which European colonial power had the biggest impact on the Muslim world in the modern period?
Early Modern History Playlist: czcams.com/play/PLiPhmAD3I2JwdVOt4lI39d3XENLktUgP5.html
Either the UK or France. Maybe even both because of the Sykes-Picot agreenent and also the creation of Israel.
@@etsuhiro6684 I'd agree with the UK but I don't know about France. I reckon Russia is a decent shout as well.
@@HikmaHistory that is true.
@@HikmaHistory france did colonize large chunks of the Muslim world
@@tyronechillifoot5573 this is true, even in sub-saharan Africa they colonised many Muslim countries.
Generally speaking PERSIANS/IRANIANS are not so proud of The Qajar dynasty. They lost a lot and gained a little during their 136 years of ruling PERSIA/IRAN.
Still, if it weren't for Agha Muhammad Khan Qajar, Iran would've been divided in a million pieces. He unified Iran under one flag. But his successors were not competent.
@@aliazarmehralparslan6067 I think things would have gone better had the Zands stayed in power. They were not expansionistic, but they were very politically and militarily competent. It was only by massacring entire populations that Agha Mohammad Khan triumphed over Lotf Ali Khan (the last of the Zand princes)
They are fine with Agha khan qajar and Abbas Mirza, unless they're the retarded type of "Iranian" who curses the qajars and praises the pahlavis in the same breath
@@XQQ-qm8ow if the zands remained in Power, there wouldn't be an Iran, there would be a mess where Iran used to be
@@aliazarmehralparslan6067 He didn't unify Iran lol. Most of today's Afghanistan and East Baluchistan still remained out of his domain. They should've pushed as far as Kabul, I'd argue all the way to Badakhshan.

Gracias Rodrigo!
if you have nothing to watch ,at the least do your homework and do not listen to this idiot for advise ,he has a agenda to mislead history to people like you, Azerbaijan did not exist before 1918 and that is the biggest lie this idiot pushing in to your kind of people, that was all Armenians land they came from Albanians Muslim population that Stalin send to work in oil fields in now Baku ,just see the historical maps and all this bowl of shit will be explained
@@dadyarmo7861 Accusing someone of agenda while spiting agenda, ironic. This lends were Armenian, but not in 19th centuary, by that time they were already populated by shia turks. The country of Azerbaijan may not have existed, but the people did. If you actually do check historical maps, you will see that, like the 1914 map of nationalities of Russian Empire, obviously drawn long before Stalin came to power. And even if we ignore that, if Azerbijanis were resettled From Albania to Eastern Caucasus by Stalin, then why do they speak a Turcick language, not Albanian, why are they Shia, not Sunni, and most importantly, why does Iran have more Azers they Azerbaijan?
@@user-eh1tv9pj2d yeah its very obvious who’s talking propaganda. I mean if you see someone from one country saying that their neighbouring/rival country was nonexistent, and their land belongs all to them and that only their status is valid - especially in regard to the Caucasus (or even Balkans) - and being extremely hostile and aggressive about it then you know that its quite like they are probably spouting propaganda themselves.
old Persia? this isn't old Persia.
Ive been told by my Iranian Turkmen side of the family that we used to live in Ganja in now Azerbaijan, but forcefully migrated during the wars vs Russia south to now Tabriz and settled near lake Urumieh. Family name is Marzban - "defender of the border" xD

It is good to point out that at the time the eastern caucuses regions were not called Azerbaijan.
The area was Aran.
The name of Azerbaijan came about first after the fall of the russian empire and was used by Soviet leaders to drum up a unification causus Belli against Iran.
Another stupid comment. The name of Azerbaijan is here since the 7 century Arabs historians mentions when they start invasion the region. Read first then write ✍️
@@kamranmaharram1529 First of, the name Azerbaijan is not the point, the region is the point.
Azerbaijan is Athurpatene, no historical record from any period of history until the 1900s has marked the region of republic of Azerbaijan as Azerbaijan.
In Roman/Parthian period that region was split in 5 and Romans called them Armenia, Carteli, Kolchis, Iberia and Albania.
In Iran the region was split in 5 and was called Armin, Wiruzan, Segan, Balasgan and Arran.
The name Arran is attested to have been used by the local rulers as early as the 2nd century CE and Balasgan eventually faded and in its place Shirvan rose to prominence in the same region.
We can see this as late as 1800s in the Qajar surveys and maps and correspondence.
Unless you have some unearthed document that no other historian in the world has ever had access to which recognises the region of Republic of Azerbaijan as Azerbaijan in the said time periods you are welcome to share them with the world, you will probably win an award or two
@@wow1371 you can say there was no Azerbaijan or so on, but the people will always be Turkmen. Even today they identify as Azerbaijani Turks instead of Azeri because the meaning of Azeri is the people who live in Azerbaijan regardless of their ethnicity including Talysh, Tat and so on

@@RadRust yes, all Persians Regonize Turks,Lurs,Kurds,Azeris,Turkmens as persian inside Iran

@@RadRust they became part of Iran during their migration to Iran many years before this event. They are definetly not persian, but they are Iranian and we people in Iran are all united and mixed somehow
@@RadRust ghorme sabzi is one of Iranian national dishes not the main one. if you have this kind of view, people in turkey go to "meyhane" for drinking which is made by persian words of mey + khane means house of wine. it's not just geographical, It is also cultural. for example, if they wanted to stay pure Turkic, they didn't celebrate Nowrooz or Yalda night. or even they didn't accept Islam and they used their Shamanism today. by your sight of view, migrant people to USA or Australia are still European or whatever, which is definitely not true. All tribes in all countries have differences between each other, like the differences between Zaza and Kurdish people in Turkey with Turkish people. but all Turkic tribes are part of this geographical state during history, like other tribes like Persians, Balochis, Kurds, Lurs, Turkmens, Armenians, Gilakis etc.
you have used the wrong to describe the area. There was no Azerbaijan in the north of Araxis river at the period. It was called Arran.
Or it's original name Caucasian albania
Azerbaijan was the part Iran kept, shirvan and Arran form the modern republic of Azerbaijan.
😂😂😂😂 stop believing in armenian propaganda . so ignorant
Arran is an area around modern Gyandja, Mingechevir, Evlakh. Not entire Az

Actually, the casus belli that Tsitsianov used for capturing Ganja is that the city at some point in High Middle Ages belonged to Georgian kingdom but lost it after multiple invasions of Mongols and Turkmens and he argued that since Russians incorporated Georgia, they also inherited Georgian claims to the surrounding territories. Also, whole Georgia was not considered part of Persian/Iranian influence area, only eastern part. Western Georgia has most times been under influence of western powers like Romans, Byzantines or Ottomans
Greatly researched by the way
A very important point went missing. The main point Persian lost the second attempt was that at the same time, they were fighting with the British who attacked from Southeast Balochestan regions . Persian didn't have enough resources to fight in two fronts .
Iran doesn't only consist of persians. There're many ethnicities living there. Persians weren't even the rulers of iran when they lost the Caucasus to russia. It's weird how you give all the credit to persian while ignoring all other ethnicities. I bet the people of Caucasus are happy that they're free instead of being occupied by iran.
@@Zejva maybe you should do your research and read some ACTUAL books before you decide to put your opinion out there 😊

Thank you for sharing
Iran thank u for your service to mankind, your glorious past is amazing, which is unfortunately ignored by my fellow western historians. only empire against slavery, men and women had equal rights, religious freedom, labor rights etc.
Alexander destroyed much and dragged the
world to darkness, but the Caliphate destroyed everything u had. It would take the rest of the world 5000 years to catch up on these rights. U were ahead by 1000s of years. But now look at u, imprisoned by Abrahamic religions.
Iran u need to revive your Vedic aryan culture for God, for mankind, and most importantly for the Iranian people!
Kind regards
Fellow german american aryan from TX
Iran doesn't have vedic culture, India had and still has vedic culture. Iranians were worshippers of ahuras which is asura in sanskrit which means devil.
Nope, the divide came w Zoroaster, who deviated from the Vedas, and encouraged worship of asuras instead of suras (demigods). Xerxes finalized the process by destroying temples of demigods Across Iran. But before Zoroaster, Vedic culture was practiced, such as vegetarianism etc. Even Kasyapa Muni had his ashram in Baku area, historic Iranian land. Caspian Sea is named after him.
Yes that is true, only india still has vedic culture in many areas. Unfortunately Abrahamic religions have destroyed much of the culture in Iran, i have never been there, but from the outside perspective it seems that way. If Islam is removed from the gov, I’m sure iran will reclaim its aryan (noble) heritage.
@@truthseeker6142 i believe even if islam is removed Iranians will gravitate towards zoarastrianism and not vedic hinduism. By the way just out of curiousity r u a follower of vedic hinduism frm germany ??
@@abhimanyujha5550 I’m American, but my grandparents r from Germany, my wife is Iranian.
Hinduism would be a wrong term, proper name would be Sanatan dharma, path of self and God realization., this is not sectarian. And God is realized in 3 aspects Brahman (all pervading energy) Paramatma (Supersoul in all living entities etc) and Bhagavan (the Supreme Personality of Godhead)
The Vedas r not exclusively monotheistic but conclusively monotheistic. Growing up my grandfather told me that there is no comparison to the Vedas. And he was not even Indian.
Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam are in their own league unmatched by anything this world and it’s religions has to offer. Whatever u find in other religions u can find in Vedas plus much much more. F ex Muslims try to reach the heavenly planets, but this process falls under the karma khanda section of the Vedas. And heaven is still part of the material world, hence it is not the ultimate goal.
Even nazi scientists got inspiration from the Vedas when developing their missile program.
Maybe, or Vedic culture will rise again. But there will be a change, since ppl r no longer interested Islam.
Salam Alaykum my Muslim family from the Middle East. I'm Iranian Kurd, and Azeri from Tabriz Iran Azerbaijan. It looks like from you videos that England really used us strategically for our resources. We all need to unite one ummah, and leave the politics behind us. I love you all

Excellent knowledge 👌
These powers brought so much turmoil to the region, we still live with their curse. All political struggles aside, much love to my Caucasian brothers and sisters, from an Armenian.
@Абдульзефир sure, until Stalin gave historic Armenian lands to Azerbaijanis to appease the Turks with bull border divisions. Now we have to live with their falsified history and warmongering. Otherwise, I'd be inclined to agree.
@Абдульзефир well, simply put, the lands faught over today had significant Armenian majorities before the people were massacared, persecuted or deported. Artsakh, or Nagorno-Karabakh as Turks call it (a Russo-Persian name btw), has remains of 7000 year old inhabitants that can be traced back to modern day Armenians of the Caucasus region that cannot be detected in Turks or Azerbaijanis. It is the fact that such conflicts would not have been as prevelant today if leaders like Stalin didn't go against Soviet and international law to please the Turks and give a region of plus 90% Armenians fighting to unite with Armenia to Azerbaijan. They are lands that have faught for autonomy but were met with warcrimes that have been unasnwered for. I ask any nation the same question then. What is historic Russia? Historic Germania, historic Brittain? Etc. Fact is, they are lands that have been inhabited by our ancesters for centuries and one of the oldest civilizations known to man being desecrated by states formed in the early 90s because of powers that brought us turmoil. Lands that have thousands of year old monuments testament to our history there. None in that region, other than Georgians and Greeks, can even begin to trace their history in these "disputed" territories as far back as Armenians. So yes, ancestral lands, as in indigenous to us, the original inhabitants that none living today can dispute. Same as any other region or people in their lands. I love Russians, and they have been our allies for years. I am not hating, I am simply stating facts. Your argument can be made for any country.
Do you really claim that something which is 7000 years old is Armenian ? really ? @@czhousehold
@@aahmadov Culture is hard to define. If we speak of language, the Armenian language is , according to linguists, about 8000 years old. If we speak of genetic continuity, the Hayassa, ( commonly known as Armenians), 7000 year old bones found in Artsakh (commonly known as Nagorno Karabagh), match exactly modern Armenian DNA. But if we speak of CULTURE, the Armenians presently have a modern high level Christian culture. Before that a Zoroastrian culture. Before that it had its own pantheon of very interesting deities. Before that, Karahunge, a 7000 yr old celestial observatory in Armenia dedicated to the constellation of Signus (the Swan), and before that, Portasar (commonly known as Goebelik tepe), 12,000 yr old cult center.
So to answer to you with one word- yes.
If Armenia was part of Iran today Azarbayejan wouldn't have had Guts to attack Armenia
Although Iran supports Armenia today not Azarbayejan

True , as an Azeri Iranian which my family where the Khans (Lord's) of Derbent in Caucuses Dagestan, and ruling class in Imperial Safavid , Afsharid , Qajar and Pahlavi Dynasties, the defeat of caucuses wars was a great loss for my family . my ancestors forced to move to Tehran as refuges to work for the Qajars who where responsible for the defeat , and they had to endure so many hardship and separation from family members in Baku Derbent and Lankaran. Gerogia was main reason for the war and Stupidity of Heracles II Bagratoni , Georgian People suffered a lot because of the Stupidity of their leadership, its true Iranian Kings wanted to Convert the Georgian lords and people to Shia Islam and Georgian people suffered a lot under Persian rule however we had a deep historical connections with our Georgian , Ossetian and Armenian Subjects we were one people that stand together during hardship and Ottoman Expansionism , look at what happened to the Armenians and Georgians after the Persian defeat , they are still surfing and fighting to this day, Russian created Hatred among the people in Caucuses. divide and conquer.
@Nbal Bal I am an azari but l hate iran and persians we iranian azeri turks hate iran we are call ourself Azerbaijanian and Qajars also are azari turk not persians and these guys are assimlited persified azaris even when you answer any question to them they in their mother language can not answer because they are assimlited azari-persian attidude is like scottish/irland-english attidude or relations

I am not related to any people from the Caucasus but it seems in some ways they are like Poland be used they were historically stuck in the middle of more powerful aggressive states plus have different types of cultures stuck together. It’s like the most fertile ground for violent conflict.

The heartland theory of hilford mackinder explains very nice why this is such a crucial part of geography
Thanks HH, shoutout to Khanubis.
That Alexander (or his advisors) did not shift forces from the region to deal with Napoleon's attack on Moscow speaks volumes about the Russian strategic mindset. And it shows they were not exactly panicked by the situation and had some confidence in their ability to resolve both issues at once...
Russia has many disadvantages which make it very difficult or perhaps even impossible to truly rival the great powers in the stage of the wider world (without dedicated and steadfast support from another great power), but that it can be dominant in and around the borders of its own vast territory is a great achievement in itself and speaks of a formidable nerve, sober planning, solid doctrines and advanced strategic and tactical accumen.
Russia is something quite formidable.
people fail to recognise that becasue of the aforementioned issues preventing it imposing its will very far from home.
yes, Napoleon's attack was incredibly costly to Russia, and of course they tried and failed to stop him earlier. indeed Russian victories at home and abroad are never clean or easy... but that is due to the nature of their inherent geographical and strategic difficulties with regards to who and what surrounds them and where, BUT they deal with it. and they usually seem to come out of their struggles better off than they were before.
nothing is easy for Russian statesmen, planners and patriots... never has been... but as a result of that they are very skillful and have a deserved reputation for political shrewdness, resourcefulness, patience and resolve in international statecraft... and they know how to sieze opportunities.
Now with the Globalists' shameful and bloody schemes unraveling in Ukraine, with Russia deservedly and by effort emerging as leader of its planned new trading and security block, even protentially winning over long established key western proxies and partners who rightly cannot trust the west anymore, Russians finally at this time have a solid chance to create a very comfortable and prosperous situation for themselves. Such will probably improve things for all its neighbours too.
@Russian Invader of course you are right about all that.
except for one thing; ''"Russia only starts wars when nations declare Russia as an enemy or start murdering Russians'''' that is true some of the time, and it is certainly true now with that bullshit money-laundering human-trafficking shit globalist puppet state of Ukraine, but it is not accurate or responsible to say it is always the case... it just isn't.
there are many examples but most notably in the Second World War Russia did to Germany exactly what NATO is trying to do to Russia today... except it was 1000 times worse, and successful...
to be fair we can say it wasn't 'Russia', it was the (J)Bolshevists... but then you must say the same about US, UK and Germany today 🤷🏻♂️
Russia is on the side of right and honour now but if you want to pretend that was always the case then I can just claim the UK is somehow still totally pure and clean despite being the key instigator in Ukraine now, and before against Iraq, Syria, Iran, etc... 🤷🏻♂️
let's not play that game.
anyway, the enemy is globalists, not nation states; they want to end nation states, starting with US, UK and Germany first of all...
@Russian Invader wow..... Russia invaded Ukraine first so I guess Russia is to blame for the current war, right? that's how it works, I guess 😅
🤷🏻♂️ what's wrong with you??? 🤦🏻♂️
how can you argue such a stupid premise of 'who crossed the border first' in this context of Russia's necessary defensive premprive attack which you yourself brought up 😅🤡🤡🤡
in Germany's case in '41 was even more innocent and necessary than Putin in Ukraine... by a long way, actually 🤦🏻♂️
I mean for starters the SECOND WORLD WAR was already underway, with basically everyone vs Germany to the death with no possibility for discussion or peace 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂 that's a pretty big difference, man...
Russia a ticking time bomb everyone knew Britain was propping up to pour in westward at any time... the war literally could never come to any end or even come tot the table with USSR as willing Sword of Damocles over Germany's head to ensure Britain would never have to back down and negotiate 🤦🏻♂️
fuck's sake, man... I mean that one point is enough 🤷🏻♂️
really you're asking for more examples anyway?
you don't think Russia ever attacked Turkey or anyone unprovoked? 😆
how about the tribes of Siberia? 😅 what about Chechnya?
fuck it, you could come up with at least 2 or 3 per century... 🤦🏻♂️
you are right about the current war in Ukraine but seems it must be dumb luck on your part, 'cause you're clearly a beligerent fucking idiot who just thinks his side is always right 🤦🏻♂️
''''Russia never attacked anyone unless, blah, blah'''' 🤦🏻♂️ what a complete fantasy.
literally talking about a country that went from a city near Ukraine to spanning from Finland to Japan 😅
the fuck is wrong with you, man 🤦🏻♂️
fuck, I never heard anything so stupid from someone on the right side of politics these days 😅
you'd pass my history exam for 2007 onwards... but just about anything in all of human history before that you get -10,000 points 😂
........fuck my life 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Excellent points.
I wonder what stopped the Persians and the ottomans to form an alliance in the caucuses against the Russians.
They had their own rivalry to worry about!

May Allah Al-Kareem bless you, Werleman.
When, I was in elementary school I learned about Turkamanchi treaty. I was told that this treaty has an expiration date. I searched online could not find anything about expiration date.
The expiration date is the fall of Russian Tsar empire, the contract was between Iran and Russian Tsar empire not new Russia, but before, those lands didn't have government and separated nation, after all these years now they all have different governments and nations, so if we want to take these lands back, there is no option but to go to war, so it's not reasonable for us to take these lands back with war, we are already at war with half the world, new war is the last thing we need.
my friends georgia is oriented to european countries so forgey about caucasus
if it has not expired yet , then Southern Caucasus belongs to Russia. Therefore, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia are not independent states

I somehow missed this video until now. Probably because I neglected to hit that pesky bell icon. The ending got me excited, because it looked like a foreshadowing of a future video, looking at the conquest of the North Caucasus and resistance of its peoples.
Thanks, Artur! You're absolutely right, I've already planned a video on the Caucasian War (just waiting for the next Khabib fight to release!)
nice video
For those who are seeking the facts about the reason PERSIA (IRAN) lost against Russia, they should know that throughout history, when ever Persia had weak rulers the enemies attacked and they were successful! But when Persia had such powerful dynasties such as: Acmaeids, Parthia, Sassanians, the world's superpower and ruled the world successfully for over 1100 years combined (from 550 BC to 651AD either solo or along with Romans)! The QAJAR dynasty is a shame in PERSIA (IRAN'S) history!
@Абдульзефир Well if you disagree, then better go back to the class and read some history books!
True
Well all of the empires had weak rulers and were attacked by its rivals. keep in mind that Achaemenid empire was destroyed by Alexander. Parthia ( hardly Iranian) was destroyed by Romans and of course Sassanids which were defeated by Arabs. On the other hand Shah Ismail, Nader Shah which had Turkic origins prevented others to tear Iran into small parts. Iran had power when it had ability to attract others into his armies and economy
Well you are talking about period of 15 centuries ago.

There is one part you did not speak about. Iran did win one war during Abbas the Great, but I guess this is about how Iran lost the Caucasus not defended it.
Precisely! But I think you're referring to Abbas II (Abbas the Great's great-grandson)
@@HikmaHistory Oh yes! I thought it was the famous Abbas the Great that could do such an act. Good content otherwise. The Persian wars are rearly talked about mostly on the Iranian side.
@@nice5396 Thanks!
Shah Abbas I lost four major wars against the eastern Georgian Kingdom of Kartli. The Battle of Tsitsamuri (1615), The Battle of Martqopi (1625), the Battle of Marabda (1625) and the Battle of Ksani (1625). However, it has to be noted that Shah Abbas I inflicted untold misery upon the Georgian population between 1614-1617. As for Shah Abbas II, he decided to finish what his infamous grandfather had started. He wanted to completely depopulate Kakheti (eastern Georgia), so, to support this large-scale barbaric operation, on the orders of Shah Abbas II the Bakhtrioni and Karaghaji fortresses were built and the fortress of Alaverdi was fortified. Also, Kakheti was divided into two administrative units. The south-west of Kakheti was subordinated to the Beglarbeg of Karabakh Murtazal Kuli-Khan and the rest of Kakheti was subordinated to the ruler of Nakhichevan Ali Kuli-Khan Kangarli. Fortunately, Georgians concocted a plan and rebelled. This uprising is know as the Bakhtrioni uprising (1659). Georgians obliterated the Iranian garrisons in all three fortresses and slaughtered all 80,000 Turkomans to the last person.
Very true history
No one stays on top forever and no one gets to keep everything they had when they were strong past their time of strength.
Just as Byzantines, Armenians, Persians etc fought over the region and Persian eventually came away with the win, so too did Russia and Persia.
Nothing lasts forever.
The lesson history teaches us over and over is just this: never let your people be weak.
...The foe you're fighting won't show but so much mercy.

@synco pated well I never ask that, I was asking for Mongol Invasion of Persia, and Azerbaijan was under Persian control when Russia annexed it I guess.
Have always felt like some muslim empires like the ottomans and the persians had an outside chance of matching the military brilliance of the west in the 17th and the 18th century. But by the 19th century it was too late.
This is because the Ottoman Empire and Persian empire failed to industrialize and invent new military technology. Empires need to consistently invent or innovate military technology in order to stay ahead.
@@bigfan2452 that's why i said an outside chance. If the 'tanzeemat' had worked and who knows what would have happened.

Ottomans and persians fought many many wars for 300 years. At the end neither Ottomans held Tabriz, Genja or Baku nor Persians held Baghdad, Mosul or Van. So many countless, useless wars. How would the things go if Persians and Ottoman Empire could form an alliance against Russians during late 18. century and 19. century in order to keep the border at Caucasus mountains ? it was obvious that neither ottomans were capable of holding Azerbaijani lands nor the Persians were capable of holding Iraqi lands. Why both sides didn't agree on the border and kept attacking? Thus both nations were muslim. In some eras both countries were ruled by turkish dynasties but they kept fighting. If only if only we could put aside our problems and unite against the stronger enemy
No brainer bro. There is no other explanation.
Ottomans and Safavid ideologies is completly difference,that is the reason.
What happened to Azad Khan Afghan’s territories?

@Delaram Salmassi keep dreaming lady. Noone wants to be part of Iran. Neither georgians nor azerbaijanis. You can take armenians you love them sooo much😁
@Delaram Salmassi ottoman empire had Greece Bulgaria Serbia Macedonia Montenegro Iraq Egypt Libya and etc. Lets give them back all of these lands. Moreover Mongols conquered Iran you can go back under rule of Mongols or you can be one the of Alexander the great's captured lands. What kind of sick mind is this🙅♂️. Iran took these lands by force like any other empire. So we say no to the any empire. Before dreaming big try to survive the western sanctions.

Before claiming other people's territories like russian imperialists think twice. One day all empires will dissolve and our world will live in peace. You are exactly armenians who dream about Greater Armenia. You just elder brothers.of them.
@Delaram Salmassi let me repeat myself. We are good as it is. Built your empire and etc without us. We are much much better without you. Just mind your business. Stay away from us :) isn't it so hard? Go and conquer all the world just stay away from us :D
@Delaram Salmassi are turks iranians? Are dagestanis iranian? Are georgians iranians? Chechens? Cherkes? Answer is completely no. So it will not happen. You took territories by force and you can back only by force.

Turk-tatars nomads began installation in Armenian Highland in 17-18th centuries and we armenians tried many times to expel these nomads. At this time, a big part of territories under Iranian rule were ruled by armenian semi-states in Syunik and Artsakh (melikdoms).

Haha Khabib (perhaps even a stoppage).
The entire comment section is people explain how their families were displaced as a result of this war. It just shows how far the Russo Persian Wars reached.
You have a lot of inaccuracies, a few examples: Before 1018 there was no country or nation called Azerbaijan, please correct the incorrect maps you are showing, That territory was called Araan and Talesh (aka Talish). Another inaccuracy about massacres in Georgia: please contact current Georgian history professors to clarify the so called massacre was much smaller scale aimed at elements that had betrayed the Persian empire and collaborated with the Tsarist Russia.
Indeed! Agha Mohammad Khan's massacre of Georgians in Tbilisi is dwarfed by what he did to Persian inhabitants of the city of Kerman in Central Iran.
The territotry wasn't called aran. It was called Azerbaijan. There are survived old maps, which are showing existence of Azerbaijan from the north of Araz river.
🤡Persians literally burned Tbilisi, killing its residents regardless of political affinity. Georgian historians are the first ones to agree with this.
How could we, Georgians, betray persian occupants who have been occupying and genociding us for centuries? Persia at that time was the same as russia is today for us.
We georgians can't betray a Iran. Because we have nothing similar with iran. Only history which are very painfully for Georgians and for Iranians still are talking about it very proudly that they invaded my country. Fuck of.

Georgia and Armenia were treated well under the Russian Empire, but after the revolution, everything went to hell, and then a georgian born bolshevik killed millions, destroyed Russian culture and tried to ethnically cleanse as far as he could. Before 1917 Russia did a lot for Georgia, but sadly, that time is long gone.
They lost north part of Azerbaijan region or khanates after than in 1918 Azerbaijan and Armenia created independent republics in losted Iranian territories .But we should mention this fact that period Iran (Gajar) founded by turks(azeri turks).
Qajar were not azeri . They were one of turk tribe who lived in north of iran Mazandaran and Golestan .
Im iranian i know my history
But Safavid were Azari who came from Ardebil . And about re.public ot azerbaijan , this lands were for Iran . But we loat these lands from Golestan and TurkmanChay deals !
And important thing iran has rich culture and it has many folks include persian , turks , kurds , lur , arab , Gilaki , balouch ... and more than thousands years these tribes have been living with eachother with iranian culture and iranian tribes and laguages and persian was relation of this culture if you check history of iran Azari , Lur , Gilaki , Mazandarani more than others even persian serve to persian language and iranian culture ... if you were wise you ask ursekf why iran is country who many non iranian ruled on this country like turks and arab or mongol while iranian became not to the turk or why they did not lost their language as influence lang between tribes ? Becuase iranian had and still alive culture and strong culture which make this people to close eachother and their formality language is farsi although when they had non iranian rulers for more than thousand year , they save and live with their culture and lang who is alive today ... but in other country with historical area like Egypt or Anatolia you do not see old culture and old lang there ? While egypt were egyptian but they became to arab and arab culture or anatoli while they were Eastern roma and European people but they became turk and turkish culture .. so this is different between iran and other nation which lost their culture and language .. iran is special place and its heartland betweem nations .

4:54 Actually Russians never did any help, they would encourage Georgia to agitate Ottomans and Persians, start war with them and promising military help, than ordering their Russian generals to leave battlefield in middle of battle and leave Georgians all alone against this 2 big empires, whom the Russians agitated in first place. The goal of this was to weaken Georgia and gradually make it more and more dependent on Russia, so in the end, it would be easier to annex, such smart strategy, although morally questionable one, worked really well. considering that how devastated Georgia was from muslim deluge, for its kings it truly looked like a heavenly blessing when giant Christian country offers you a hand and trusted it with all their hearts.
Georgians had been courting Russian patronage since the 17th century, since before Peter the First. Finally, the greatest Russian monarch Catherine the Great agreed a protectorate status at the latter part of 18th century. And she was true to her word, even if her generals were incompetent and dishonourable (to put it very lightly). But with her death, the reliability of Russian diplomacy died, and Georgia became prey rather than vassal.
That's basically the same strategy being used by russia with armenia today.
