Abstract
AbstractAfter the accession of Ashraf Ghalza’i both diplomacy and warfare, involving the Russians, Ottoman Turks, Persians and Afghans, continued apace. At the same time as it demanded the cession of Russia’s gains in the Caucasus, the Porte sought to solidify its own newly won territory in western Iran, a point strenuously rejected by Ashraf. Meanwhile, Shah Tahmasp II remained at large, although too weak to reconquer Isfahan and oust the Afghan occupiers. In September 1727, Ashraf had Shah Soltan Hoseyn killed and before the year was out a treaty between Ashraf and the Porte had been concluded.
