The Afsharid dynasty was an Iranian dynasty that ruled Iran (Persia) in the mid-eighteenth century, descended from the Turkoman Afshar clan in Iran's north-eastern region of Khorasan.As he went into Mughal territory, he was joined by Erekle II, his Georgian vassal and future ruler of eastern Georgia, who commanded a Georgian detachment as a military commander as part of Nadir's troop.After conquering Kandahar, the last bastion of the Hotaki dynasty in Afghanistan, in 1738, Nadir Shah proceeded to conduct expeditions across the Hindu Kush mountains into Northern India, which was then ruled by the Mughal Empire.In that year, his troops captured Esfahan from the Safavid dynasty and established the Afsharid dynasty.In 1730, Nader Shah ascended to the throne of Persia.Safavid Iran was a formidable empire at its apex, led by leaders such as Abbas the Great, but by the early 18th century, the realm was in serious decline, and the reigning shah, Sultan Husayn, was a weak ruler.
Nader was born in the latter years of the Safavid dynasty, which controlled Iran from 1502.Nadir Shah was born at the fortress of Dastgerd into the Afshars' Qereqlu clan, a semi-nomadic Turkic Qizilbash pastoralist tribe living in the northern valleys of Khorasan, an Iranian Empire region in the northeast.
