 It is the turn of the 18th century. Once one of the largest empires in history, Persia is in acute decline. Her armies are weak and outmoded, her leaders incompetent, and she is constantly losing ground to the neighbouring Ottoman Turks. To make matters worse, the Afghan tribes are on the brink of revolt, and Esfahan is too crippled by corruption and political intrigue to do anything. It seems Persia is stuck on the path to redundancy - a forgotten empire of ages past. Or so it seems.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In the early 1700s, Mustafa Setarezhad becomes Grand Vizier, and the empire receives a shake-up. In the interests of maintaining peace in the fragile country, the army is nationalised and expanded. The reforms soon prove prudent, after Persia annexes neighbouring Georgia and gains access to the Black Sea. A surprise conflict with the Ottomans soon turns from diaster to success, as the Persians score victory after victory against the Turks, until Constantinople itself has fallen. Persia enters a new Golden Age - the Safavids head an empire that spans from Herat to Alexandria. What could possibly go wrong?A lot, apparently. The new empire finds itself beset on all sides: by the Poles in the west, Russia in the north and the Indians in the east. The fall of Afghanistan to the Maratha Empire prompts Mustafa's resignation, while the Persian Generals struggle to crush the last pockets of Ottoman resistance in the Balkans while fending off periodic Polish-Lithuanian invasions. Far from entering a new period of global dominance, Persia now struggles to survive.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Can be read here.This work provides examples of:
