Chaos in the Empire
1711
Following the disastrous intervention in Mesopotamia, Sultan Husayn sees his legitimacy fatally undermined. Within a year of returning with his tail between his legs, Husayn is murdered by a band of Qizilbash warriors led by Fath-Ali Khan Qajar, who props up the young Sultan Tahmasp as Shah--but essentially controls the throne as Regent. In the Eastern parts of the realm the Sunni Hotak Afghans, seeing the opportunity to make their own push for power, rise up against the Shia rulers. By the start of 1712, Persia is divided and consumed with an internal struggle for power.

Summer of 1712,
Seeing an opportunity to weaken their old Persian rivals and install a more Sunni friendly government. Sultan Ahmed III declares war on Persia and sends envoys to Hotak Afghans to seek alliance against Persia.

A Dynasty Fractures: Persia Through 1725
The Hotaks, beneficiaries of the Sublime Porte’s campaigns against the Safavids, have spent the better part of a decade mismanaging their newly expanded empire. The various heirs to Mirwais, who spearheaded the conquest of the heart of Persia, have fallen into plotting, murder, and intrigue. By 1725 the throne is occupied by Mirwais’ nephew, Ashraf, but his hold on power seems no more secure than his predecessors.
Meanwhile, the Sunni Pashtun dynasty which has been installed on the heart of Shia Persia has done little to ingratiate itself with the majority population. Selling off the western frontier to the Ottomans has resulted in immense dissatisfaction within Persia itself, while the promotion of Sunni religious figures and theology has stoked the flames of Persian honor and identity. Distantly-related Safavid claimants to the throne begin to emerge, and though the Hotak state has proven adequate at putting down the brushfires of religious rebellion the threat of collapse continues to hang over the weakened state.
