The Conflict of the Zand Princes and the Demise of the Monarchy

In this book, His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammad Al Qasimi narrates the story of a man named Karim Khan Zand, a member of the Kurdish Zand tribe in Lorestan, who became one of Nader Shah's military commanders. Following the chaos that ensued after Nader Shah's death on June 24, 1747, numerous rivals vied for the throne of Persia. However, Karim Khan Zand secured the throne by crowning the underage grandson of the last Safavid king and appointing himself as regent. Once he consolidated his rule, he deposed the young king he had appointed, thus becoming "King" of Persia. Yet, his heirs, the Zand princes, engaged in internal strife until the monarchy collapsed. This book is a valuable addition to His Highness's profound historical research, rich in implications, which once again enriches the intellectual importance of studying history and rediscovering the extended formation of societies from various cultures around the world. This is achieved by relying on the narration of historical events and analyzing them to discover their scientific and historical value.
