@@notfromthisworld5851 Poland? I highly doubt it, but good luck trying.
Thanks for your kind words.
Yea the invaders, after the dust of invasion settled, started to adopt the culture and politics. After some generations, they saw themselves as Iranians.
Basically, this used to happen after accepting Nowruz (a nature-oriented new year), Humanistic and poetic-oriented messages of Zarathustra and Sufism, and a proto-secular and proto-humanistic Shahanshahi system.
Respecting and accepting these three elements served Iran as a citizenship test for newcomers. And because these are not ideology-oriented, they happened to create a very efficient citizenship test for any healthy mind and heart. 🙂
Salute to Poland, too!
I am Turkish and I love both Greek and Persian having been influenced by both.

I dont like pantork fascists
As an American i am absolutely fascinated with Iran: translated the land of the free(like America ironically). The finest silk rug weavers in the world come from the city of Qom. Brilliant artisans!
I'm Iranian and I don't think that's what it translates to. it translates to land of the aryans
@@NemoTheAngryFish It actually translates to “the land of Aryans." Aryan is the adjective for Ar, and -an is the plural-maker suffix in the Persian language. Iran (Ar-an) literally means "Aryans." The full name was IranShar meaning the "land of Ars (Aryans)." In early and late middle Persian (Parthian and Sassanid Pahlavi), the word Ar meant "a person with a free soul" or a "freeman" for an easier word.
So after this long description, "Iran" would mean "the land of free people."
What this gentleman said was a correct English translation 🤭🎈
@Yazdegerdiranyar I always thought that "Aryan"translated to "noble"
This the Land of nobles

This is right

Mad respect! This is the most accurate history I've ever seen about my country.
Bro you actually told the true history of iran much respect
As Iranian, I really impressed. This is one of the most accurate videos on RUclips about brief history of Iran. I hope one day, we will not hated and miserable anymore.
P.S#1: Please don't call Iran, Persia. If you call Iran, Persia, It's like call Whole UK, England. Persia refers to Persians, but there is a lot of other tribes beside Persians in Iran; like Azaris, Kurds, Lores, Balochis, Mazanis, gilaks,etc. in other hand Iran includes all tribes that were born, live, fight, build and die together for this land.
P.S#2: Now I find out that our culture is too strong to die and I didn't know that.
چرا شما جزامیا همه جا هستید؟ متوگهی این حرف تو توهین به تاریخت هست؟ پارسه و ایران هر دو نام کشورمون بوده و ما تا زمانی که این گردان سپهر میچرخه ما با دو نام پارسه و ایران شناخته خواهیم شد. یکمی مغزتو بزرگ کن حیفی به خدا.
dont deny your ancestors migrated from central asia. call daddy land to central asia
>all tribes that were born, live, fight, build and die together for this land
you got it right comrade, always too strong to die even under toughest famine or wars
دمت گرم حرف دلمو زدی!
You are right in pointing that out, but that works only from an Iranian perspective, not from a worldwide perspective. Your analogy does not work. Persia is simply an old term for Iran in English, see for example 'Persian rug'.
This comes from the dictionary:
Persia [pur-zhuh, -shuh] Former official name (until 1935) of Iran. They formally changed it into Iran, probably because as you say, it's more ethnically correct.
An English speaker however, not knowing the history, hearing the world Persia would think of Iran. My point is, calling Iran Persia in English sounds old-fashioned but it does not exclude the tribes you mentioned. With your analogy, England would be incorrect too, because it comes from Angle Land, but the tribes who invaded the land were the Angles, the Saxons and Jutes. In fact some people still use the adjective Anglo Saxon. The term England predominated though. This is to say that sometimes the main 'tribe' gets the name of whole land.
Seen from an English perspective and I think worldwide (as it's the same in French, Spanish and Italian) Persia was an old term for the whole Iran and that's it. There are a bunch of other countries that took their name from the main tribe. It can sound unfair to you, but do not worry because no English speaker would think of Persia as a smaller area, they would just think of Iran. On the other hand, very few people would think of England as Great Britain, because the name England never reached the meaning of 'UK'. I hope you understand the difference.
Think of Spain, according to your logic it would be incorrect as there are Basques, Catalonians, Galicians and more, but still the whole country got the name from the main tribe. It's unfair, but it's just a name and it'll take time for people to eliminate the word Persia and call it only Iran. Like Myanmar is still called by some people Burma. It takes time. But don't worry, it's just an old term and it's not discriminatory as very few English speakers are aware that Persians were just a part of Iran.
This man really deservers more subs, great videos!
True
Persia did conquer half of greece and ruled it for about 100 and more years
Iran Is Arab!

Stop Turkification in comments For God Sake
Fr, they are everywhere claiming everything as Turkish.
Stop spreading Fake HİSTORY!
@@altunaze6127 what’s fake?
@@lil_zadeh6064 Fake history (and fake informations):
Safavids is kurdish origin,
Azerbaijan creted 100 year ago,
Iran=Persia,
There are only 18M Türks in Iran,
There are any a*menian Ge*ocide
Persian is only language in all Iranian dynasties.
@@altunaze6127 1. The safavids considered themself apart of the iranian peoples
2. Azerbajdzjan is a created state that has only existed since the 1900s
3. Iran is not persia because iran is multiethnic nation persia means the land of persians and iran is only 50% persian
4. Those ”turks” most azeris in iran consider them iranian only about 20% would identify with the turkic people and also there are most likely 13-15 million azeris in iran not 18 million
5. The Armenian Geniocide was a real historical event that happened
6. Persian was not always the only language but for most of history but not always
I'm actually really picky about history and often complain about people misrepresenting the Iranian history lol. But this was indeed THE Most Accurate video I've ever seen. Truly great job! Thank you 💚🤍❤️
Still had a lot of mistakes, for example, Darius was the nephew of Cyrus so he was meant to be the next ruler, and Elamite’s are Iranian just they aren’t Persian
مگه نشنیدید که گفت ایرانیها از قزاق مزاقستان کوچ کردن به ایران. یعنی ارونیها چشم بادومی بودن و وقتی اومدن جای فعلی همشون چشاشون گرد شد.
and Safavi was not Persian
I am an Iranian and your video about Iran is perfect, thank you❤️
Persian history, civilization, culture, customs and traditions have been one of the richest and most beautiful empires of all time. The first kingdom of the world was Cyrus the Great. A prophet who embodied all the purity and goodness of his time. But he did not force or enslave any people. Liberation of the Jews. Reconciling nations. Due to the enmity and perhaps jealousy of European historians and unfortunately the destruction of history books due to the invasion of Alexander and then the Arab invasion and then the Mongol invasion, historical information about Iran is much less than information about Greece or Rome. The impact that the Iranians had on the evolution of human society, whether through inventions and discoveries and having the greatest scientists and physicians, is a great blessing to humanity. I hope that the services of Iranians to the world will be paid more and better. And know that the Islamic Republic is not the representative of the pure land of our ancestors.
Iran second oldest country to achieve ancient times
India was first to achieve, indus valley civilization 3300bce
Aryan kingdoms 1700bce
Democratic republic kingdoms 1200bce - 600bce
Nanda empire, guptha empire, mauya empire, chalukya empire and much more 600bce - 1300ce
India had 50% of world wealth from 3300bce to 1ad and 40% from 1ad to 1500ad
Mughals, Turks and British made India poor
But Hinduism still surviving since 5000bce
A formal number system that world uses today that influenced the west people to invented many things was discovered by Indian scientists bramhaguptha and aryabatta
Indians used to trade through sea routes with Mesopotamians in 3000bce
ببخشید فامیلی شما حقگو است؟
@@blueworld9706 Mesopotamia is actually older compared to the indus valley, and Iran is 4th or 3rd (not sure Egypt was older or elam/marlik and probably some more like burnt city in Iran, but studies are very slow in this topic and maybe we find new evidence of even older civilizations)
and tbh you can't assign some of ancient ones to countries anymore, for example there is very good chance elam people have no relation to Iranians rn and maybe they are now on west Arab countries or Indus valley people may moved away, I don't think there is great evidence to show we are descendents of them or not, and really who cares, it's matter of now rather than yesterdays
@@aryanmn1569 sanskrit is 3times older than avesta
@@aryanmn1569
Right, Persian civilization is late in relation to the civilization of Iraq (Mesopotamia), on which 4 civilizations and 3 empires were actually raised.
Iranian people have manners and morality to an extend a lot of westerners would never understand.
I am living in Germany, Hamburg, around1,5 year now, in my work from the first days I had an Iranian guy, crazy lovely and wonderful person, his family too, people of logic and life. Love them, big respect.

Iran is one of the first empires in the world and the history of Ira will never be included in this video, but thank you for your honesty and that Qajar was the Turkish government over Iran.
He said it was Turkic, not Turkish (trust me, not the same thing)
The closer they can be considered to an actual ethnicity is Azerbaijani, after all, Azerbaijan is Shia Islamic and most Azeris live in Iran than they live in the independent Azerbaijan.

The Dad jokes are strong with this one!
Thanks for the shotgun version of Iranian history, gives me a starting point to delve deeper into different time periods.
Seems like every time the Iranian people get a taste of reform they hit the streets and protest, resulting in instability and confusion, allowing a new group of strong men to take power and impose even more severe rule. Who doesn't like a good revolution every now and then, but Patience is a virtue.

Amazing video
Great video
Mr. History > History Channel
Any History chanel > History Chanel
Great video, one small issue, at 2:32, it was not Darius that declared himself the son of Cambyses, but, a bog, a priest called Bardia, also known as Smérdis or Bardia the liar, claimed to be the successor of Cambyses and his brother, unofficially claiming to be a son of Cyrus his self, but the problem was that according to some rumors back in the time, Cambyses had already killed his brother before marching through Egypt which has never been publicized. it was clear that there was something wrong but not many people noticed it. now everything started when this new self-proclaimed king, Bardia, married all Cambyses' wives - and to dispel doubt, I have to say that Bardia never went out of the Royal Court or even talk to any Persian and Median royalty - which caught the attention of a Persian nobility called Otanes / Hutan who had his daughter Fedima married to Cambyses and now, to Bardia, who wasn't allowed to get out of the court was contacted by a mediator and asked by the father that if he was the real son of Cyrus or not, and makes her responsible for gathering information from the court and guess what, he was not. so a council was made of a few royalties to discuss this matter, whom later Darius the Great, the son of Vishtasp, a satrap during both Cyrus and his successor Cambyses was a member of; and soon, rebelled against the lier king.

8:10 small error. Herat was not part of Afghanistan at the time. It was a Persian vassal that the Afghans seized with British support.
Worth noting in both world war famines (both times largely due to the Entente and Allies, especially Britain) millions died, that's how bad both were. Great vid though, just figured that tidbit would explain Iran a bit more.
7:54, That is an awesome beard tho.
10:19, I thought they were kind of just at war with each other all the time.
Saddam had geographical issues with iran before 1979 too but since iranian monarchy was backed by the west he couldn't do much .
