The Safavid Empire

The Safavids created an empire in Persia in the 1500s.

The Safavids The Safavids established a Shi’ite state in Persia, modern-day Iran. The Safavids were in conflict with the Sunni Ottomans. Both the Shi’ite Safavids and the Sunni Ottomans claimed to be the true leaders of the Islamic world. • Ottomans will defeat the Safavids and claim Mecca and Medina from them.

Why would the Ottomans and Safavids be rivals? If both are Islamic Gunpowder empires why would they rival each other and not team up against the Europeans?

The Ottomans and Safavids were rivals.

Shi’ite Muslims There are two main branches of Islam: the Sunni branch and the Shi’ite branch. The primary difference between these two branches concerns leadership of the Islamic community. Sunni Muslims believe a capable Muslim can lead the community while Shi’ite Muslims believe leadership should be hereditary through Muhammad’s son-in-law.

Shi’ites believe that leadership of the Islamic community is hereditary.

Shahs Safavid rulers were called Shahs. A Shah was an absolute ruler of the Safavid Empire. Shahs used their large armies to maintain control of their empire.
