I have received many comments noting that Nadr Shah was an ethnic Turk, rather than Persian. The reason that I refer to him as Persia’s Napoleon is because that was the empire over which he ruled. It was a multi-ethnic empire. I in no way intended to belittle his heritage.
Sie müssen wissen das, er war nach dem Safavide Empire und Safavide waren keine Persische, sonst Türkische (Azerbaijan) Empire. Man kann nicht es persian empire nennen. Danke
Ding Shens hahaha! Is this what they tell you in the Alyev educational system??! Russia defeated Iran, and forcibly took the northern parts of Azerbaijan, and the Persians (I mean the Azeri Qajar dynasty) had no choice but to give the land. but today after 200 years, Alyev is trying to hide that Azerbaijan has a Persian (and by Persian I mean Iranic) culture.
Elsen Avshar-> If you mean by "they were not persians" as "they were not Iranians" you are wrong in three aspects! 1. Safavid founders were half kurdish (Beside azeri/azari itself is not a turkish name and infact it is a persian name), 2. Safavid culture were based on Sufism (the name safavi means those who are sufi)! and Sufism is rooted in pre-islamic Persia/Iran (Zoroaster, and Mani) gnosticism culture, 3. Iran from her blooming was multi-cultural multi-linguistic country. This is what it makes a country instead of ruling of an ethnic over others. This interesting idea i think was unique when it was proposed (philosophically by zoroaster and politically by Cyrus the great) and to the best of my knowledge no other culture/country proposed that idea before Iranians/persians. Maybe because of this idea that Iranians think that they inherited the fist country of the world and not just a collection of city-state based civilization (as is the case of many other ancient civilizations)

Afshars are a Turkish state. If you still say Persian, then the great Turkish religion of the Afşar tribe of the Oghuzes believed in the sky tengri. I have a question for you, did the Iranians believe in Göktengri?
Let's all thank The History Guy. He gave a conscious and factual portrait of one of history's world leaders. It is true he was a great General, a Nation builder, an economist and did several other things exceptionally. The History Guy did an exceptional presentation in the allotted time and format. This is an exceptional snipit of history, about an important area of the world and our past as mankind This is not a biography so if there are points about the subject that were left out due to time or content space do not get mad because it's not left out it is just not relevant because this is a snipit of history and not a biography. Thank you again Mr. History Guy
Another great segment from the History Guy. The do not cover it in all of the schools and when they do it is not stressed enough that the oldest civilizations come from this area of the world and they do not always give their great leaders and tacticians the respect they are due. Thank you again History Guy.
Kudos to Sumeria for cultivating wheat some 18,000 years ago. Possibly giving birth to 'civilization' and evolving humans from pure hunter/gatherers to that next level. The ancient world was indeed in that area of the globe and if it were not for the many compounding problems that Ramses III faced some 3200 years ago, it could still very well be the center of civilization. The first historically documented 'dark age' sadly began around that period of time (1177/1186'ish BCE - sea people/famine/earthquakes/drought/internal and external strife and likely also disease (though there is no proof of the latter). It was a globalized trading community among many nations before all but Egypt would lose the art of writing and many other skills and have to arise again during the 'neo' periods of those geographies.
He was one of most super Patriotic leaders of Iran His nicknames : Khosru Of Iran Sword Of Iran Conqueror of Delhi ،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،، He defeated the Ottomans،Turkmens،Uzbeks, Russians, Afghans and the Moghuls of India
Nader Shah's coins are clearly proof that He called him self an Iranian and Persian, and all of historians of the world believe that he was an Iranian Shahanshah (King of Kings).
He was indeed an Iranian Shah of Turkic origin! Most of the existence of greater Iran, it was ruled almost always by Turkic tribes and populated almost 50% by Turks
I enjoyed reading the comments on this discussion thread. It is nice to get the points of view from Iranian and other people from that area of the world. I was especially pleased by a comment that this guy was one person's hero and that multiple books about the great leader that were written in Arabic are being translated into English. I look forward to reading them and hope he translates them word for word exactly as the authors wrote them. Sometimes translaters change or add words to make a translated sentence sound better and make sense or be less confusing. I hope that does not happen too much because you can loose or miss the original authors point of view or point he is trying to make.
Nader is one of the greatest millitary commanders in world history altough he is very underrated in comparison to napoleon or timur despite his great achivments in expeling the foreign invaders and reviving the old persian empire and in my opinion he is the greatest persian ruler after the arab conqust of iran 👑💙
This video brought back memories for me. I remember learning about him in history class while living in Iran Pre revolution. Thank you for the memories.
After death his head was decapitated, his body rests on Mashhad and his head in Shiraz some 1000k away. In IRAN he is both loved and lothed, as he saved the country but could not cement that gain. May the Lord have mercy on his soul.
my mother's side of the family are afsharid and they migrated to anatolia after the fall of the dynasty and the civil war broke loose. my ancestor poyraz started his own clan and were forced to settle down from a nomadic life style by the ottomans to kayseria, and become sunni muslims.i have a relative who looks exactly like nader shah in there portraits.

nlpjohn You both need to read some history, the sixth army was not defeated in Stalingrad until January of 1943. In 1941 the Soviet army was still in full retreat and disarray.
@nlpjohn seems you cannot even read your own comments, you state that the Soviets defeated the German army at Stalingrad in 1941, nice try to sound smart and totally do the opposite, maybe you should go back to basic english books and leave the history to people with the ability to read even their own words.
nlpjohn if you start with dates you end with dates. Since you only mention 1941 anyone reading your poorly written paragraph would rightfully assume you were still talking about 1941 since you don’t even bother to mention that the German army was defeated in 1943 at Stalingrad. Not knowing the exact date of the return of the remains is no excuse since you clearly state that the remains were interned one month before the defeat meaning a rough date around the end of December 1942 and beginning January 1943. So how you should have ended was “Stalin ordered the remains reinterred, bringing an end to the curse and leading a month later to the surrender of the German Sixth army at Stalingrad on January 31st 1943” see how neat and tidy that would have been.
@nlpjohn I also assumed you meant the remains were returned quickly and thus the "one month" was only a few months after the first date you mentioned. It is a logical inference. After all, you say "not wanting to take any chances", implying Stalin was worried about the curse and returned them. If he was truly worried why would he wait more than a year?
So. As a descendant of Nader Shah(I am not lying since my last name is Naderi and the family of Naderi comes from Nader Shah. Don't believe me? Ask the tour guide of the Nader shah museum in Mashhad. ) However, I've been dying to find out about the early ancestor of mine since I was told many stories about him, but this summary helped me a lot to find out even more!
Your grandfather was conqueror of world .. Mongol of Delhi & ottoman of Istanbul .. Weep & cried in battels against him . Allah give blessings & Jannah to great conquer of world
Maybe, but not all Naderis are descendants of Nader Shah. Anyone can change their last name to Naderi. The only way to to know your ancestors is to look at the genealogy of your family, which most Iranians don't have except nobles.
Iranians are not usually defined by thier genetics, but by the culture and language they speak. He may be from a turkish family, but he was Iranian through and through and fought for the nation and idea of Iran.
Frank White I don’t care what language he spoke! He even celebrated Nowruz and I highly doubt he care much for Islam. You Turks always want to Turkify my nation of Iran. He was the savior of Iran and he was going to create a navy for Iran.
@Frank White it's funny that you falsley accused me that I'm a shi'a and wikipedia is not a reliable source. nadir shah was and always be known as an iranian king, not turkish king. HE WAS THE KING OF IRAN!!! go look at the flag he used.
@Frank White these damn mullahs that have been in my country are not iranians. i don't even like the safavid dynasty. and i already stated that nadir shah saved Iran from destruction. nadir shah, xerxes, shapour, cyrus, reza shah and darius are in my eyes the greatest kings that came out of Iran.
4:15 they're not Afghans but Sikhs (The painting is from the Battle of Muktsar depicting Mai Bhago fighting the Mughals). But great video and very informative!
Nader shah didn't come from a noble lineage. He often introduced himself as the "son of the sword" and that is probably the best description of him. Thank you history guy
Thank you for the nice video. Unfortunately Iranian history is pretty much unknown in the world. I am very thankful that you introduced a part of it. Shah Ismael of Safavid dynasty and Agha Muhammad khan Qajar were also brilliant military tacticians of their times. I would suggest to make videos about them too. Especially because of their impacts on Iran and tge regional history
I love your channel so much ,my friends just think I'm trying to play smart when watching your videos . But I actually love history one of the only things my brain can remember lol.thank you for you and your assistant always educating me
Turks, Persians, Kurds, Lurs, Balooch, Azeri, and others are ethnic groups referring to people that lived in different provinces of Iran (known to the West as Persia).
Iran is a nation state & Iranian refers to a nationality. You can be Chinese but acquire Iranian citizenship & therefore be Iranian. So the original poster was right, Turks, Persians, Kurds, Lurs, Balooch, Azeri & others, all long as they're living in Iran are all Iranian. Just like Turkmen that live in Russia can still be Russian in terms of nationality but not Russian in terms of race & ethnicity.
NON OF THESE NAMES WERE KNOWN DURING THESE TIMES , THESE WORDS ARE MODERN TIME INTERPRETATIONS , THE ONLY FACT IST WE ARE ALL WEST ASIAN MUSLIM PEOPLE AND NOT RELATED TO PRIMITIVE BACKARD MONGOL PEOPLE , NEITHER ARE WE JEWS .
@@Мустафаиракский-я8ш Iran is an administrative country and its well known fact since the founding of first confederations going back to old testament biblical times and not like some other nations which are strongly based around the idea of race and ethnicity.

@Ottoman Nationalist bro you are idiot , for goodness sake read some books , turks are diffrent , some turks considerd themselves as iranian persian-turkish mixed , some are ottomans only turkish ,
I enjoyed this episode for the fact of understanding the ethnic Muslim religions that exist to this day battling each other, one that has more peaceful behavior to the West and the other murderous enemies to the West, as well as the differences of Western history and Persian history. Thank you for this diverse and in-depth episode, sir.
I'm from Nader Shah's city and my father found some of Nader'sr gold that was buried by his soldier at age of 20 and since then he lived in fortune all his life:)
One Punjabi contemporary poet described the rule of Nader as a time “when all of India trembled with horror”.[84] The Kashmirian historian Lateef described him as follows: “Nader Shah, the horror of Asia, the pride and savior of his country, the restorer of her freedom and conqueror of India, who, having a simple origin, rose to such greatness that monarchs rarely have from birth”.[85] Joseph Stalin used to read about Nader Shah and admired him, calling him, along with Ivan the Terrible, a teacher. In Europe, Nader Shah was compared to Alexander the Great. Starting from a young age, Napoleon Bonaparte also used to read about and admire Nader Shah. Napoleon considered himself new Nader, and he himself was later called European Nader Shah.[86]
@Ottoman Nationalist Who said not do take interests in East 😂😂🤣😂🤣. Nader shah teach lesson to ottoman , that in dream they used to get nightmare of Nader shah Alamgir
Napoleon was fighting forces of equal technology, for the most part. Not to discredit Nader Shah's abilities as a military strategician, but his technology dwarfed that of most of his adversaries.
@@badboyfrom1 Actually Wikipedia states after ottomans were defeated by Nader the Habsburgs tried to take advantage of the situation and attack ottomans but were defeated and lost control over Belgrade.
@@HoxtonLive that is called counter attack. Ottomans didn't lose any land to Nadershah but took lands from austrians even though those were the lands they lost about 50 years ago
The thumbnail says it all. Dude, Nadir Shah wasn't even a Persian. He was Afshar from Khorasan. If u wanna make content about eastern history I suggest you make more research.
Thumbnail says it all? Says what? Also nobody care about he's ethnicity when he considered himself as shah of Iran. even in he's coin says: "the khosrow of Iranzamin". the nationalism is ruining everything. you guys need to back off for real.
@@Aceo_0 did I said anything about persia? Infact persia is not even exist. iranshahr or aryan or mamlekat Iran is the real name of the country. being iranian doesn't mean you have to be persian.

Ond Int the Safavid dynasty was Iranian Empire of Kurdish Iranic origin there ancestry Firuz-Shah Zarrin-Kolah , Sadr al-Dīn Mūsā and Safi-ad-din Ardabili they all are Shah Ismail ancestors who are all Kurdish origin there flag lion and sun flag which was Iranian flag with more 3000 years history was 100 percent Iranian Empire the name of the Safavid kings use to be finish by Persia like Abbas I of Persia also know Shah Abbas The Great who killed many Turkic people in Iran the dynasty if you don't know history don't open your mouth
Suren Kalantarian fuck the Turks the most important peoples of Ottoman were European origin like Ibrahim Pasha who won the Battle of Mohacs for that fool Suleiman or the famous Hayreddin Barbarossa was also European origin I think he was Albanian and Greek military, Grand Viziers even the sultans were European blood like Murad IV mother was Greek and is grand mother was Greek so he Greek not Turk the Turks small brain to make Empire that big
Ond Int did you open your mouth again the Safavid dynasty was not Turkified just because Shah Ismail did some poem in Azeri Shah Abbas The Great he's quoted saying "I'd rather kiss the soles of the lowliest Christian than the highest Turk" doesn't sound very Turkic the Ghaznavids Iranized Turkman so they were Iranic right you dumb fucker they were not even Azerbaijani in Shah Ismail army they were Turkmens tribes and Iranic tribes like Lurs , Kurdish and Talyshs the Viziers were all Persian origin and you know how much the Viziers are important in the Emprie 80,000 peoples got killed by Shah Ismail in Tabriz and the Turks in army got killed by Shah Abbas
Ond Int if the Safavid dynasty was not Iranian 1 historian was going to say they were not Iranian there is 1000 book about them read one Shah Ismail I of Persia of PERSIA bring back the name Iran again just like the time Sasanian Empire you know what that mean
Ond Int Hayreddin Barbarossa was not half Turkish he was full Greek or half Albanian half Greek Turgut Reis was full European origin he was also Greek and also Murad IV mother was Greek and is grand mother was also Greek one of the best ruler of the Ottoman LOL the Ottoman was big because of non Turkic people LOOOOL Turkic peoples didn't do shit
In fact, Turkic-speaking peoples have played a major role in Iranian history, ruling the country from the eleventh century up to the early twentieth. Even today they represent more than a quarter of Iran's population. Foltz, R. (2016) Iran in world history. Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press. p.61
Nadershah was Iranian and the word "shah" is also a word from ancient Persian and this nickname is for Iranian kings. He also fought with Turks several times, which shows that he was not interested in Turks.Also, he brought Iran back to its heyday, in addition, the lion and sun flag is a completely Iranian symbol, I don't know how some Turks associate the great Nader Shah with them.
@@DND480 You fool... 🤦🏻♂️I'm an Iranian Turk as well but even I know that he was the shah ( which means king in Persian) of Iran. You are so uneducated , you don't even know when some King is Turk or Persian doesn't mean the whole country belongs to just Turks or Persians
@@pooya4434 Shah does not indicate nationality, he was a nationalist. he wrote that he is a Turkmen and the Turkmen people are better than other peoples read his books Don't be stupid
A man of ruthless ambition and immense energy, he was certainly one of the great captains of military history. A master strategist, he was immensely successful in raising armies. He was also both cynical and cruel, and his reign was marked by violence and bloodshed. Nonetheless, he had taken Persia from near collapse to dominant power in the region.

I'm sorry they know the truth that he was Iranian. This is because they use world-renowned sources, not books that have been distorted by Brandashifer and Ali Yuf's government.
The History guy failed to mention his historic words when he met Mohammed Shah the Moghul Emperor after capturing him. Moghuls had this royal tradition to recite their family tree when meeting another monarch or Dignitary while introducing themselves. So the Moghul emperor goes I am Mohammad Shah son of...... Son of Ayrangzeb Alamgir son of Shahjehan son of..... And it goes on for a couple of minutes upto Zaheer ud Din Babar. Now Nadir Shah being the son of a shepherd not even knowing his grandpa's name goes " I am Nadir Shah ibn e shamshir ibn e shamshir ibn e shamshir (son of the SWORD son of the SWORD........) 😅 😅

Nader Shah is considered an Iranian Legendary Shah here, I have not met a single Iranian that dislikes him. But he did have his flaws, such as the Massacare of Delhi and The Murder of his Son.

6:50 those diamonds and Juwlerys were not looted from India. They were give to Nader Shah as Gift from the Indian court in exchange of letting the defeated indian dynasty remain existing in power. So buy the laws of the humans those belong to Iran.
@Bully Maguire Iran is just a geographical definition, not an identity.The Khitan emperors called themselves the emperors of Turkestan, does this indicate that they were the Turkic empire, or was it the Mongol state ruling Turkistan?Of course it was only the Mongolian state that ruled Turkistan.for example, the British emperor called herself the ruler of India after conquering India.well they were indian state?WTF..The rulers of the Ottoman Turkish empire called themselves the kaiser of Rome.So was the Ottoman state a Roman state?Stop bullshit.
@Bully Maguire Even Afshar, the name of the Afsharid state, is the name of a Turkic ethnic group.in other words, she gave the Nader shah state the name Afshar, which means Turkic race.Although I see them as the Azerbaijani Turkish-Persian state, my discourse will change if you claim that they are only Iranian.
@Bully Maguire If you live in Iran you are Iranian, if you live in India you are Indian, if you live in Europe you are European.but this does not change the identity of the state you have established, it only changes the geography.for example the hungarian state is a european hungarian state.but the Magyar people are originally an asiatic people and not European.so this means that the magyar state is the Magyar state. european is just a geographical definition.You look like a troll who thinks that the IRANIC ethnic group and the states governing Iranian geography are the same.🤣🤣 During the period of Turkic, Mongolian, Arab, Armenian and Greek states that dominated Iran geography, they called Iran geography as Iran.because that was just a geographical definition.The Seluicid empire was a Greek state that ruled Iran, does that mean they are from Iran?You're just a history thief trying to steal someone else's history.Iran is the most occupied geography throughout history.stop telling us stories and stealing other people's states now. The reason why Iran is called Napoleon is that it dominates Iranian geography.The Göktürk emperors were called the Gray Wolves of Mongolia.Was it Mongolian state, mister trol?
@Bully Maguire Stalin was the ruler of a state named Russia.it is independent of origin.It is a Russian ethnic identity.The origin of the ruler is not important after the name of the state is Russia.just as it doesn't matter if the king of England is a German.because England is an ethnic identity name.If the name of the state is ethnic identity, the origin of the ruler is not considered. but the name of the Afshar state was AFSHAR, which means Turkic ethnic identity.Do you think it's the same thing?🤣🤣🤣
The first i want thank you that you made a video for Nadir Shah. Thank you for your efforts and I wish success in your other endeavors but please dont write wrong title.He was not persian.He was from the Afshar tribe, which is not a Persian, but a Turk.I am not allergic to Persian word and people. but there is a problem that although not all Persians and Turks are racists, but when all the great persons who left a mark in history are presented as Persians Those suffering from the disease of racism (some persian) are inspired by this and think that they are a little more superior and higher than others.

@@DND480 Napoleon was not the first French king of French descent. He was of Italian descent, but he is known as the king of France. Nader Shah himself was of Iranian descent.
One point here, after the invasion of India by Nadir Shah it was the Maratha who would attack Northern india and conquer up to Punjab. It was the Marathas and not the EICo who actually filled the vaccuum you talk of. It was only after the Marathas were defeated in the battle of Panipat in 1761 and the weakening of the rule of the Peshwa that the East India Company actually started to take over. For a brief time, India was dominated by the Maratha Empire. Not directly ruled but under their sway nonetheless.
One man's trash is another man's treasure. I am Iranian, and we generally look at him as a hero But I remember meeting an Indian guy in Canada. I was with a friend whose name was Nader. I noticed a slight twitch in the Indian's face as he heard the name. He explained later that Nader is known as a bloodthirsty savage in his country- no wonder, after his massacre in Delhi. Iranians feel the same about Genghis Khan after his massacres in Iran. I suppose he is a revered hero in Mongolia. But the funny thing is there are many Iranian boys/men named Genghis (Persified to Changiz) even today.

Afshars are a Turkish state. If you still say Persian, then the great Turkish religion of the Afşar tribe of the Oghuzes believed in the sky tengri. I have a question for you, did the Iranians believe in Göktengri?
Let's all thank The History Guy.
He gave a conscious and factual portrait of one of history's world leaders.
It is true he was a great General, a Nation builder, an economist and did several other things exceptionally.
The History Guy did an exceptional presentation in the allotted time and format. This is an exceptional snipit of history, about an important area of the world and our past as mankind
This is not a biography so if there are points about the subject that were left out due to time or content space do not get mad because it's not left out it is just not relevant because this is a snipit of history and not a biography.
Thank you again Mr. History Guy
Thank you for making this kind of videos about persian history
Another great segment from the History Guy.
The do not cover it in all of the schools and when they do it is not stressed enough that the oldest civilizations come from this area of the world and they do not always give their great leaders and tacticians the respect they are due.
Thank you again History Guy.
Kudos to Sumeria for cultivating wheat some 18,000 years ago. Possibly giving birth to 'civilization' and evolving humans from pure hunter/gatherers to that next level. The ancient world was indeed in that area of the globe and if it were not for the many compounding problems that Ramses III faced some 3200 years ago, it could still very well be the center of civilization. The first historically documented 'dark age' sadly began around that period of time (1177/1186'ish BCE - sea people/famine/earthquakes/drought/internal and external strife and likely also disease (though there is no proof of the latter). It was a globalized trading community among many nations before all but Egypt would lose the art of writing and many other skills and have to arise again during the 'neo' periods of those geographies.

Nader Shah's coins are clearly proof that He called him self an Iranian and Persian, and all of historians of the world believe that he was an Iranian Shahanshah (King of Kings).
He was indeed an Iranian Shah of Turkic origin! Most of the existence of greater Iran, it was ruled almost always by Turkic tribes and populated almost 50% by Turks
wow, glad i searched for Nader Shah after i read his name in a book i am reading and found your channel. Great content, thanks
I enjoyed reading the comments on this discussion thread.
It is nice to get the points of view from Iranian and other people from that area of the world.
I was especially pleased by a comment that this guy was one person's hero and that multiple books about the great leader that were written in Arabic are being translated into English. I look forward to reading them and hope he translates them word for word exactly as the authors wrote them.
Sometimes translaters change or add words to make a translated sentence sound better and make sense or be less confusing. I hope that does not happen too much because you can loose or miss the original authors point of view or point he is trying to make.
Nader is one of the greatest millitary commanders in world history altough he is very underrated in comparison to napoleon or timur despite his great achivments in expeling the foreign invaders and reviving the old persian empire and in my opinion he is the greatest persian ruler after the arab conqust of iran 👑💙
Wow. From rags to beyond riches. Now Nader was one of the ultimate self made men
Self made man? Dude he was more than it! He was king of Persia not a rich man!
This video brought back memories for me. I remember learning about him in history class while living in Iran Pre revolution. Thank you for the memories.
Napoleon was France's Nadir shah🤔🤔🤔
I like that😉
genau Bruder.
It's True.
All you have to do is ask yourself who came first and who did more with less.
Just my opinion.
Given his character, I'd be insulted being compared to Nadir Shah. Right up there with Hitler, Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot.
I think nadir shah greater than napoleon because napoleon didnt unify france but nadir did unify persia and he the last great shah of persia

Thank you for the brief summary on Nader Shah. It was an enjoyable presentation.
90% of the population? Oy vey, we don't learn about that in history class.
The Mongols did not play games..
nlpjohn You both need to read some history, the sixth army was not defeated in Stalingrad until January of 1943. In 1941 the Soviet army was still in full retreat and disarray.
@nlpjohn seems you cannot even read your own comments, you state that the Soviets defeated the German army at Stalingrad in 1941, nice try to sound smart and totally do the opposite, maybe you should go back to basic english books and leave the history to people with the ability to read even their own words.
nlpjohn if you start with dates you end with dates. Since you only mention 1941 anyone reading your poorly written paragraph would rightfully assume you were still talking about 1941 since you don’t even bother to mention that the German army was defeated in 1943 at Stalingrad. Not knowing the exact date of the return of the remains is no excuse since you clearly state that the remains were interned one month before the defeat meaning a rough date around the end of December 1942 and beginning January 1943. So how you should have ended was “Stalin ordered the remains reinterred, bringing an end to the curse and leading a month later to the surrender of the German Sixth army at Stalingrad on January 31st 1943” see how neat and tidy that would have been.
@nlpjohn I also assumed you meant the remains were returned quickly and thus the "one month" was only a few months after the first date you mentioned. It is a logical inference. After all, you say "not wanting to take any chances", implying Stalin was worried about the curse and returned them. If he was truly worried why would he wait more than a year?
you r a great speecher
ty so much man
Nader Shah's origin story is so similar to that of Chinggis Khaan's it's actually quite scary.
Was gonna say the exact same thing.
Timur too
Why is it scary?
Life of the nomads
Ali Kuzyaka we are all nomads when you think about it. Even Iran, at the height of the Achaemenid dynasty, was nomadic.
So.
As a descendant of Nader Shah(I am not lying since my last name is Naderi and the family of Naderi comes from Nader Shah. Don't believe me? Ask the tour guide of the Nader shah museum in Mashhad. )
However, I've been dying to find out about the early ancestor of mine since I was told many stories about him, but this summary helped me a lot to find out even more!
my family name is afshar my ancestor's nader shah too
@@moaf1727 you are from the same tribe she's from the same family.

Mongol of Delhi & ottoman of Istanbul ..

Maybe, but not all Naderis are descendants of Nader Shah. Anyone can change their last name to Naderi. The only way to to know your ancestors is to look at the genealogy of your family, which most Iranians don't have except nobles.
I love your short histories. Thank you!
Iranians are not usually defined by thier genetics, but by the culture and language they speak. He may be from a turkish family, but he was Iranian through and through and fought for the nation and idea of Iran.
exactly like north eastern persians even had mongols along with afghan population
Frank White it was an Iranian dynasty! I’m Iranian myself and he was king of Persia, not king of Turks!
Frank White I don’t care what language he spoke! He even celebrated Nowruz and I highly doubt he care much for Islam. You Turks always want to Turkify my nation of Iran. He was the savior of Iran and he was going to create a navy for Iran.
@Frank White it's funny that you falsley accused me that I'm a shi'a and wikipedia is not a reliable source. nadir shah was and always be known as an iranian king, not turkish king. HE WAS THE KING OF IRAN!!! go look at the flag he used.
@Frank White these damn mullahs that have been in my country are not iranians. i don't even like the safavid dynasty. and i already stated that nadir shah saved Iran from destruction. nadir shah, xerxes, shapour, cyrus, reza shah and darius are in my eyes the greatest kings that came out of Iran.

A brilliantBook was written about him by Michael Axworthy Called :The Sword of Persia". He had a fascinating life.
He called himself "the King of Kings of Iran and India".
Nader shah didn't come from a noble lineage. He often introduced himself as the "son of the sword" and that is probably the best description of him.

Turks, Persians, Kurds, Lurs, Balooch, Azeri, and others are ethnic groups referring to people that lived in different provinces of Iran (known to the West as Persia).
Turks are Central Asians
The Others are Iranians .
Iran is a nation state & Iranian refers to a nationality. You can be Chinese but acquire Iranian citizenship & therefore be Iranian. So the original poster was right, Turks, Persians, Kurds, Lurs, Balooch, Azeri & others, all long as they're living in Iran are all Iranian. Just like Turkmen that live in Russia can still be Russian in terms of nationality but not Russian in terms of race & ethnicity.

One Punjabi contemporary poet described the rule of Nader as a time “when all of India trembled with horror”.[84] The Kashmirian historian Lateef described him as follows: “Nader Shah, the horror of Asia, the pride and savior of his country, the restorer of her freedom and conqueror of India, who, having a simple origin, rose to such greatness that monarchs rarely have from birth”.[85] Joseph Stalin used to read about Nader Shah and admired him, calling him, along with Ivan the Terrible, a teacher. In Europe, Nader Shah was compared to Alexander the Great. Starting from a young age, Napoleon Bonaparte also used to read about and admire Nader Shah. Napoleon considered himself new Nader, and he himself was later called European Nader Shah.[86]

1735 Battle of Yeghevard
Nader Shah(Safavid Persia)vs Köprülü Abdullah Pasha (Ottoman Empire)
Strength-
Savavid Persia15000
Ottoman Empire 80000
(Ottoman Empire)-40,000-50,000 killed & wounded
32 cannon captured
(Safavid Persia)-losses are negligible
Ond Int the Safavid dynasty was Iranian Empire of Kurdish Iranic origin there ancestry Firuz-Shah Zarrin-Kolah , Sadr al-Dīn Mūsā and Safi-ad-din Ardabili they all are Shah Ismail ancestors who are all Kurdish origin there flag lion and sun flag which was Iranian flag with more 3000 years history was 100 percent Iranian Empire the name of the Safavid kings use to be finish by Persia like Abbas I of Persia also know Shah Abbas The Great who killed many Turkic people in Iran the dynasty if you don't know history don't open your mouth
Suren Kalantarian fuck the Turks the most important peoples of Ottoman were European origin like Ibrahim Pasha who won the Battle of Mohacs for that fool Suleiman or the famous Hayreddin Barbarossa was also European origin I think he was Albanian and Greek military, Grand Viziers even the sultans were European blood like Murad IV mother was Greek and is grand mother was Greek so he Greek not Turk the Turks small brain to make Empire that big
Ond Int did you open your mouth again the Safavid dynasty was not Turkified just because Shah Ismail did some poem in Azeri Shah Abbas The Great he's quoted saying "I'd rather kiss the soles of the lowliest Christian than the highest Turk" doesn't sound very Turkic the Ghaznavids Iranized Turkman so they were Iranic right you dumb fucker they were not even Azerbaijani in Shah Ismail army they were Turkmens tribes and Iranic tribes like Lurs , Kurdish and Talyshs the Viziers were all Persian origin and you know how much the Viziers are important in the Emprie 80,000 peoples got killed by Shah Ismail in Tabriz and the Turks in army got killed by Shah Abbas
Ond Int if the Safavid dynasty was not Iranian 1 historian was going to say they were not Iranian there is 1000 book about them read one Shah Ismail I of Persia of PERSIA bring back the name Iran again just like the time Sasanian Empire you know what that mean
Ond Int Hayreddin Barbarossa was not half Turkish he was full Greek or half Albanian half Greek Turgut Reis was full European origin he was also Greek and also Murad IV mother was Greek and is grand mother was also Greek one of the best ruler of the Ottoman LOL the Ottoman was big because of non Turkic people LOOOOL Turkic peoples didn't do shit
In fact, Turkic-speaking peoples have played a major role in Iranian history, ruling the country from the eleventh century up to the early twentieth. Even today they represent more than a quarter of Iran's population.

Nadershah was Iranian and the word "shah" is also a word from ancient Persian and this nickname is for Iranian kings.

Yes your point is valid but the idiotic policies of Aurangzeb led to their demise
Akbar the Great conquered North India with both love and war
He made several agreements with the local rajput leaders
Whereas the Aurangzeb's invasion of South India was quite bloody it was the largest war in Indian History
He sent 5 million people under his personal leadership to conquer South but eventually he used all the resources and wealth only on war that's why Mughals fell
But still their main ethnicity is Turkic although later they were more Indians than Turks
In short Mughals would had never fell had Aurangzeb used the skills and tactics of Akbar
Nader Shah is considered an Iranian Legendary Shah here, I have not met a single Iranian that dislikes him.

Even Afshar, the name of the Afsharid state, is the name of a Turkic ethnic group.in other words, she gave the Nader shah state the name Afshar, which means Turkic race.Although I see them as the Azerbaijani Turkish-Persian state, my discourse will change if you claim that they are only Iranian.

If you live in Iran you are Iranian, if you live in India you are Indian, if you live in Europe you are European.but this does not change the identity of the state you have established, it only changes the geography.for example the hungarian state is a european hungarian state.but the Magyar people are originally an asiatic people and not European.so this means that the magyar state is the Magyar state. european is just a geographical definition.You look like a troll who thinks that the IRANIC ethnic group and the states governing Iranian geography are the same.🤣🤣
During the period of Turkic, Mongolian, Arab, Armenian and Greek states that dominated Iran geography, they called Iran geography as Iran.because that was just a geographical definition.The Seluicid empire was a Greek state that ruled Iran, does that mean they are from Iran?You're just a history thief trying to steal someone else's history.Iran is the most occupied geography throughout history.stop telling us stories and stealing other people's states now.
The reason why Iran is called Napoleon is that it dominates Iranian geography.The Göktürk emperors were called the Gray Wolves of Mongolia.Was it Mongolian state, mister trol?
@Bully Maguire
Stalin was the ruler of a state named Russia.it is independent of origin.It is a Russian ethnic identity.The origin of the ruler is not important after the name of the state is Russia.just as it doesn't matter if the king of England is a German.because England is an ethnic identity name.If the name of the state is ethnic identity, the origin of the ruler is not considered. but the name of the Afshar state was AFSHAR, which means Turkic ethnic identity.Do you think it's the same thing?🤣🤣🤣
5:07: What happened to the legendary blue horses of Persia? Perhaps they are with the lost treasure.
Well they don’t sweat blood so who cares
The first i want thank you that you made a video for Nadir Shah. Thank you for your efforts and I wish success in your other endeavors but please dont write wrong title.He was not persian.He was from the Afshar tribe, which is not a Persian, but a Turk.I am not allergic to Persian word and people. but there is a problem that although not all Persians and Turks are racists, but when all the great persons who left a mark in history are presented as Persians Those suffering from the disease of racism (some persian) are inspired by this and think that they are a little more superior and higher than others.
He was, literally, the Shah of Persia.
Damn you need some therapy
@@TheHistoryGuyChannel As a westren this might be new for you, but if you want to cover Iranian/Persian history get ready to meet alot of History Thieves, Turks, Kurds, Arabs and even Indians at times for some reason. Everyone tries to either Make up facts, Lie or completely hide some important facts and truths in history so they can steal our history for themselves. It's quite sad really, this level of bitterness and lies and filth and they think they're on the right side.
Michael Axworthy’s book was an amazing read! I loved it when I was 12 lol
great vid
Nader Shah of Iran is a patriotic man🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷❤
everyone knows that the authority of the Turkic state where it is written that they come from a Turkic tribe
@@DND480lol
We have many Turks in Iran, all of whom are Iranians. Everyone knows Nader Shah as the authority of Iran, the sword of Iran.
@@DND480 I do not know where you are from. Probably in your country only Turks are considered human beings, but in Iran all ethnic groups are equal.
@@DND480 Napoleon was not the first French king of French descent. He was of Italian descent, but he is known as the king of France. Nader Shah himself was of Iranian descent.
@@تورج-ص1ص Napoleon was French origin ideot
The picture you used at 4:14 depicts sikhs in a battle against mughals i think. Other than that, this was a great video!

One point here, after the invasion of India by Nadir Shah it was the Maratha who would attack Northern india and conquer up to Punjab. It was the Marathas and not the EICo who actually filled the vaccuum you talk of. It was only after the Marathas were defeated in the battle of Panipat in 1761 and the weakening of the rule of the Peshwa that the East India Company actually started to take over. For a brief time, India was dominated by the Maratha Empire. Not directly ruled but under their sway nonetheless.
One man's trash is another man's treasure. I am Iranian, and we generally look at him as a hero But I remember meeting an Indian guy in Canada. I was with a friend whose name was Nader. I noticed a slight twitch in the Indian's face as he heard the name. He explained later that Nader is known as a bloodthirsty savage in his country- no wonder, after his massacre in Delhi.
Iranians feel the same about Genghis Khan after his massacres in Iran. I suppose he is a revered hero in Mongolia. But the funny thing is there are many Iranian boys/men named Genghis (Persified to Changiz) even today.
Piruz Nader Shah could be the most blood thirsty ruler in history of India
@@yaqubleis6311
Nope Aurangzeb was
India First why ?
@@yaqubleis6311
He is known as the cruelest emperor in Indian History
His invasion of South India was the largest land invasion of Indian History
With 5 million men he invaded South India for a quick victory but after this Mughals got weakened and finally the Mughals got subjugated by the Marathas who were from South India
Overall his conquests lead to deaths of millions
India First 👍👍
In some ways he reminds me more of Alexander than of Napoleon.
Nader Sha Persias NADER!
johny 56 he is Turk
@@papazataklaattiranimam he was Turk from turkey? he beat the ottoman Turks so bad that whenever they heard of nader's name, they trembled in fear. Get your facts straight before commenting and robbery.
@@cyrusthegreat982 idc if he was from Turkey or not
@@cyrusthegreat982 He was Turkoman like all Afshars. Afshars were Turkic tribes. Go and learn history
@@irreligiousman3395 I have read the history of my country very well. Nader was a turkman from khorosan which is an iranian province. Nader was the shah of iran who conquered, fought and sacrificed for his motherland and returned her to glory by eradication of afghan rule over iran, beating back the ottoman Turks and in return capturing ottoman lands In the name of iran. And then he raided India for giving asylum to those afghans who Nader wanted to punish, and second beacuse they were financing the ottoman empire to fight against iran. So in the end, Nader was an iranian Turkmen( native to, iran, Turkmenistan, Russia and Uzbekistan and...) He is an iranian shah that has nothing to do with turkey except kicking ottoman ass. But since you people are illiterate cannot digest history and fall victim to your own ignorance and foolishness.
Here is a quote from Nader the great Sword of Iran ( I gave my whole being for the glory of my country Hoping to gain eternal honor for my nation)
ZENDE BAD IRAN
YASHASIN IRANIMIZ
LONG LIVE IRAN
Iran or Persia has three dynasties prior to the Islam's invasion of Iran. First is Achaemenids, second is Parthian and last one is Sasanians.
