Introduction

Qajar (Kadjar) dynasty

The Qajar (Kadjar) dynasty was the ruling family of Persia from 1796 to 1925.

King Fath-Ali Shah Kadjar 1766-1834

King Fath-Ali Shah Kadjar (1766-1834)

Shah of Persia (1797–1834), nephew and successor of Aqa Muhammad Khan Qajar, founder of the Qajar dynasty. Most of his reign was spent in internal and external warfare. He managed to maintain himself against other claimants to the throne but was not so fortunate in his wars with Russia. He sought to enlist aid from Napoleon, who was then contemplating an attack on India, but the shah's hopes were dashed when Napoleon signed the Treaty of Tilsit (1807) with Russia. Fath Ali subsequently turned to England, but English influence failed to protect Persia from Russian encroachments. The shah's attempt to reconquer Georgia proved disastrous, and the Treaty of Gulistan (1813) and the Treaty of Turkmanchai (1828) deprived Persia of the Caucasus and marked a downward trend in Persian power.

*The Azeri Khanate of Erevan, under Persian sovereignty for almost two centuries, was annexed to the Russian Empire as a result of the Russio-Persian wars of 1804-1813 and 1826-1828. The overlordship of Persia was ceded to Russia by the Turkmanchai (today Torkaman) Treaty of February 1828. Also spelled Irevan or Yerevan.
