This study investigates the political and economic history of the Safavid Empire in
Iran as viewed by the historian Bastani Parizi.
Before the Safavid Dynasty, Iran was a troubled country looking forward the
appearance of the savior. The declaration of the initiation of the Safavid State by
King Ismail the Safavid in the year 907 Hijri was in response to the troubled
conditions in Iran. At that time, regional and international powers, including
Ottoman Empure, Portugal, Holland, th Mamluks in Egypt, and the Timorese in
India, were conflicting to dominate Western Asia, known as Islamic East.
As for the foreign policy, the attempts of the Safavid Kings to convince the
Europeans to form alliance against the Sunnah were not successful and the
Europeans limit their interest to commercial exchange. However, in the inner
policy, the main interest of the Safavid Kings was to eradicate the revolutionary
movements against the state and to get rid of all rivals even though they were
members of the ruling family.
Actually, the economic motive was the instinct that controlled all conflicts and
wars. However, lack of safety and political settlement, murder and raids resulted in
nothing but the burying of capital, trade recession, collapse of agriculture, and
poverty of people.
The coronation of King Abbas The Great was associated with economic
development as the economic potentials of the state were immensely growing. This
era had witnessed a historical and economic phenomenon that has to be
investigated; the appearance of a rich class, known today as businessmen.
Variation of terrains and climate in Iran played a great part in the economic
abundance but this abundance was disturbed by harsh taxes or confiscation of
funds.
The bloody and harsh policy of the kings towards their families was responsible for
not preparing crown princes able to take the responsibility of the state.
