50 Years on Acem Throne: Nasıreddin Shah Kaçar’s Power Secret

Summary/Abstract: The nineteenth century is a pathetic period in Iranian history. This situation, which has emerged in the field of society, politics and economy, is considered a lost period for Iran in every aspect. When the theoretical knowledge of the eighteenth century turned into the industrial revolution in the nineteenth century, many nations, especially Europeans, saw this century as a leap period and entered the twentieth century as world states. While all this was going on in the world, Iranians were concerned about happily meeting the endless demands of the Qajar shahs, who were perhaps the most incompetent rulers in their history. The Qajar Dynasty, which rose between the Afshar-Zend struggle to take power in 1796, defeated these two rivals and put an end to the turmoil that continued after the death of Nadir Shah in Iran. The Qajars could not show their success in eliminating their domestic rivals, in bringing Iran into the 20th century as a modern world state. This dynasty, which did not have much administrative/administration power other than the capital Tehran (and a bit of Tabriz), was devastated within the century, but unfortunately left a wrecked Iran behind. As the subject of this article; It will deal with how Nasıreddin Shah, the fourth of Qajar shahs in nineteenth century Iran, maintained a power period of fifty years, how he was not overthrown despite many internal and external crises and the reasons why he continued his power.
