Zand dynasty

The Zand dynasty (سلسله زندیه) ruled southern and central Iran (1750–1794). The dynasty was formed by Karim Khan, chief of the Zand tribe of Lors [1] from Luristan who had previously been moved by Nader Shah to eastern Iran, but had returned after the death of the latter. Karim Khan and Alimardan Khan Bakhtiari took control of central Iran following the unrest that arose from the assassination of Nader Shah (1747). They both chose a minor prince of the Safavid Dynasty as their puppet ruler and named him Ismail III. Karim Khan chose to be the military commander and Alimardan Khan was the civil administrator. Soon enough Karim Khan managed to eliminate his partner as well as the puppet king and in 1760, founded his own dynasty, the Zand. He refused to accept the title of the king and instead named himself The Advocate of the People.

La dinastia Zand regnò sull'Iran centrale e meridionale nella seconda metà del XVIII secolo.Capostipite della dinastia fu Karim Khan, capo della tribù Zand e generale di Nadir Shah. Dopo l'assassinio di quest'ultimo, si scatenò una dura lotta per il potere, dalla quale Karim Khan e Alimardan Khan Bakhtiari riuscirono ad ottenere il controllo delle province centrali e meridionali del regno. Come già fece Nadir Shah, i due misero sul trono un re-fantoccio, Ismail III, erede legittimo della dinastia safavide. Nel 1760 Karim Khan decise di sbarazzarsi del suo socio e del finto scià e si proclamò vakil (reggente), rifiutando il titolo di scià.
