A “World-adorning” history of a ruler of this polity was written by Iskander Beg Munshi. A former (15[1])slave named Allahverdi Khan became a military leader (15[1])in this polity after helping (15[1])assassinate Ostaglu. The Travels of Sir John Chardin (15[2])is an important source on the court life of this (15[1])polity, (-5[1])where Chardin (15[1])was a jewel purchaser. (-5[1])A ruler of this (15[1])polity utilized Caucasian ghulams (15[1])to undermine (15[1]-5[2])the power (-5[2])of a (-5[1])(*) Turkoman (10[1])military (10[1])group. That ruler of this empire (10[2])forcibly resettled Armenian craftsmen (-5[2])after moving (-5[1])the capital from Qazvin. (10[2]-5[1])This empire forfeited territory in the peace (10[1])of Amasya, (10[2]-5[1])and the power of its Qizilbash (10[4])was diminished after its (10[1])defeat (10[1])at the Battle of Chaldiran by the Ottoman Empire. (10[2]-5[1])For 10 points, Shah Abbas the Great ruled over what 16th (10[1])to 18th (-5[1])century (10[1])Iranian gunpowder empire? (10[1])■END■ (10[12]0[8])
