Safavid empire after Safaviya Sufi order – what is Sufism Shia Islam vs. Sunni What is the “Hidden Imam” in Shia Islam?

What observations can you make about the location, resources, and orientation of the Safavid Empire?

Geography of Safavid Empire Almost entirely in modern Iran & Iraq East of Ottomans – oriented to East Capital of Isfahan land-locked (compare to Constantinople) Silk Road connection Trade in Gulf of Hormuz (Indian Ocean Network), but no maritime territory

Political Form of State Ruler as stand-in for “Hidden Imam” - Shah Influence of religious leaders (continues today) descendent from Muhammad (Ayatollahs) Very high taxes to pay for military Ayatollah Khomeini

Military Originally mounted Turkic warriors After establishing empire created elite gunpowder core of slaves Border conflicts with Ottoman and Moghul empires Invasions from Afghanistan, e.g. Nadir Shah Totally land-based – no navy

Economy Marginal maritime trade – capital located inland – trade with BEIC Overland trade with Russia A beeyootiful Persian Carpet

Religion Enforced Shia Islam violently Mullahs given state support, supervised Education in madrasas supervised by state Resulted in Iran & parts of Iraq being Shia

Architecture - Isfahan Built fantastic capital city at Isfahan Used Persian style Islamic architecture, e.g. blue tiles and ornate design Smaller but more elaborate than Ottoman architecture
