  7. What The Safavids, to gang up on the Ottomans, allied with many European countries.

  8. How • The Dynasty was established early by Shah Isma’il in the 16th century. Afterwards it just lost territory. • Isma’il was so successful in conquering the area because of his family heritage in the Kizilbash.

  9. How • The length of the Dynasty’s existence was really just a long decline. • The main reason for its decline were the constant threats from the Ottomans and Uzbeks. • It was also brought down by the corrupt Safavid family and internal struggles within the Empire.

  10. Why • The Safavid Dynasty was significant in its part of the world for a few reasons: • It converted the Iran and the surrounding area to Shi’ite Islam, which has political implications to this day. • It essentially established Iran as a nation.

  11. Why • It was not conquered like the Americas for two reasons: • The Ottomans had a huge empire that separated the Safavids from Eastern Europe. • The Safavids, to counter the Ottomans’ strength, allied with Europeans.
